Today Wendy Doyle, President and CEO of United WE released a statement in response to the November 3rd election:
“At United WE, we know that every vote matters and every voice needs to be represented and heard. We would like to applaud the record number of people who exercised their constitutional right to vote in this year’s election. Voting and civic engagement benefits everyone by improving governance and decision-making.
We need participation from all voices to ensure strong and diverse representation, and we are encouraged by the number of women who decided to run for elected office. Our research and experiences show that entire communities are lifted, creating a better quality of life for everyone, when women have a seat at the decision-making table.
As our name implies, now more than ever we need to come together to create a better future: one where every woman is supported by laws, practices and policies that allow her to realize her full potential on her terms. Uniting together to remove barriers for women and advocating for policies that support women will make families and communities healthier and the economy stronger. 2020 has proven to be a monumental year, but we remain optimistic about what the future holds.”
