Episode Notes

When women mobilize, countries are transformed. In the United States, women have been the majority of voters in every national election since 1964. In 2018, women helped elect a Congress with a record-breaking 127 women members. Supermajority, a national community for women’s activism and civic engagement, is using the sparks of millions of women across the country to ignite the fire of change. In this episode of The Bridge, host Peggy Clark, Vice President of the Aspen Institute and Executive Director of the Aspen Global Innovators Group, spoke with Supermajority co-founders Cecile Richards and Alicia Garza to learn more about Supermajority and the reasons behind this groundbreaking movement. Download this month’s episode of The Bridge, recorded live from the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, CO in June, to hear Cecile and Alicia discuss their plan to mobilize 2 million women across the country within the next 12 months.
