Downtown Women for Change is a grassroots organization founded by New York women in 2016. We are committed to preserving and advancing women's rights, mentoring women who choose careers in public policy, and working to elect Democratic women who will fight for legal and accessible abortion.
POLITICAL ACTION
We support
a variety of candidates and women’s organizations with fundraising (our FundHer projects, auctions, social events, educational events, and drives), phone banking, text banking, postcarding, and petitioning.
We advocate
for specific pieces of legislation with Memos of Support, phone and text campaigns, and capital lobbying.
We work
closely with a variety of grassroots groups and coalitions--representing thousands of like-minded activists—coordinating our election and legislation work in order to amplify our voices.
And you can do this, too!
