Winning starts with training 💙 1200+ women in office and counting, from school board to Congress.

#EmergeAlum State Sen. Julie Pazina (NV-12) is one of Nevada's most effective legislators. In her first term, she passed more bills than any other freshman legislator, and in 2025, the Las Vegas Review-Journal ranked her the state's second most successful legislator!

Let’s go DC CBC week! From our Meeting the Moment training with #DivineNine sisters to the Seated Together Level Up Reception, we loved the energy in every room. Here’s to building the kind of leadership that lasts! 💙

With Aisha Wahab's special election victory in California’s 14th Congressional District, she is the first Afghan American to serve in Congress, and her win means the Emerge Congressional Caucus is growing from 13 to 14.

Two Emerge women. One historic ticket. If elected, #EmergeAlums Molly Gray and Amanda Janoo of Vermont would be first all-Emerge governor and lieutenant governor in history. This powerhouse duo has what it takes to win the general. 💪🍁

Monday was Labor Day, so we want to continue the celebration by spotlighting three #EmergeAlums who represent and show up for workers every single day. Unions do not happen without organizing, and neither does change. So, here are 3 Emerge alums who are proudly pro-union and putting in the work! 💪

Today, we salute the labor movement and the workers who keep organizing and keep our society running. Here at Emerge, we recognize labor efforts not just happening around us, but also within us. Emerge is proud to have union representation through SEIU Local 205. Here's to furthering the movement! 💙

We are heartbroken by the passing of Gloria Steinem, a trailblazer whose courage and vision transformed the fight for women’s equality and reproductive freedom. Gloria changed the world, we will miss her dearly and carry her legacy forward in our work every day.

More than 7,000 women trained. More than 1,200 serving in elected office. And 500+ on the ballot this November. ♀️ On Women’s Equality Day, we recognize that equality means more than having a voice in choosing our leaders. It means women having the opportunity to lead. #ElectWomen

On Meet the Press this week, Emerge President and CEO A'shanti Gholar spoke on what we should all be focused on instead of debating the validity of mail-in voting: making sure our elections are safe, fair, and accessible. Let us know what you think about the full conversation. #WomenLeaders

Our Fall 2026 Cohort applications are open, which means now could be your time to jump in and get the training you need to support you in running for office! Tag someone (or yourself!) who's ready to run in the comments.
