Buzz with “Take Our Daughters to the Polls”

If you could teach a girl in your life the power of her voice, and show her that you believe in her ability to make a difference, wouldn’t you do it?

This Election Day, you can do just that–by joining our campaign to Take Our Daughters to the Polls.

Why our Daughters? Why the Polls?
We know that children model their own dreams on what adults and society show them to be possible.

The U.S. currently ranks an astounding 71st in the world in women’s political representation. Women leaders make up just 16% of the Senate, 23% of state legislatures, and 10% of big city mayors. With so few women to emulate, young girls are going to have a hard time believing that they can make a difference in politics when they grow up.

Unless, of course, their moms and dads, aunts and uncles, grandparents and other grown-ups show them otherwise.

As Marie Wilson says, “Children model their own dreams on what adults and society show them to be possible. By taking girls to the polls on Election Day, we teach them that they are a valuable part of the political process, and that their voice and their vote can make a difference.”
