“The most important things that impact everyday life happen at the local level and we as women are well positioned to really get activated and engaged in a way that we haven’t been before.  For a lot of women because of our upbringing and how we’ve been cultured, we have a natural resistance to power because historically power has been used over us and against us.  We as women can shift the way that power is used, we can gain power and we can use power to help others.“

~ Kimberly Ellis, Director, California Emerge and Candidate for CA, Chair of the Democratic Party
