Just realized I used wrong handle to credit the amazing work that @IGNITE_National is doing to engage girls and young women in politics. (Sorry!). See my tweets in #AREWETHEREYET thread.
I just learned about @IGNITE_National, the largest nat'l pol org for young ♀️. Stats re: ♀️ in elected offices shared by @SaraGuillermo19 should create urgency for ALL of us:
20% in Congress
25% in State Leg
12% Governor's
22% Mayors
And the solution is LOCAL!

‘Every data point is a person, a voice, an emotion. It’s a real life that’s impacted.’ @RogerThurow We can’t forget to tell the story, not just explain the evidence. (But we need both!) #arewethereyet
If you want to affect political change - put your energy into local elections. Over 500K local elected offices. You can create change and elect women and men who reflect your values. @ChicagoCouncil#AreWeThereYet
Data - there are not nearly enough women in political office...do we know where we should be directing our energy and influence? Act local to build a national wave of change. @ChicagoCouncil@IGNITEworldwide#AreWeThereYet
Data, again and again, reinforces the need and the benefits of engaging women in politics. @IGNITEworldwide is training young women to affect political change.-@ChicagoCouncil#AreWeThereYet
