Our Work
Through grassroots fundraising, EWATX is a catalyst for progressive change and collective community action. EWATX invests in strategically important federal races and holds intimate events with candidates where women are empowered to speak up and speak out to the decision-makers about the issues most important to our group and that affect women specifically. Members can comfortably navigate political fundraising and advocacy for progressive issues and potential solutions regardless of their previous political affiliation, policy or advocacy experience.
Our Impact
EWATX is a part of the Electing Women Alliance, a national network of giving circles in cities around the country, including Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Seattle, St. Louis, Vail and Washington, DC.
EWATX has raised over two million dollars for candidates since our founding.
