National Awareness Campaign
Who Needs More Women in Government? Everyone!
WCF Foundation’s National Awareness Campaign disturbs complacency about the abysmally low number of women in public office and why their political equality plays a crucial role in our country’s strength and future. Using research and statistics in unique ways, WCF Foundation will prove to the nation that everyone needs more women in government.
Our campaign integrates multiple efforts, including the unique performance piece Voices From The Ladder™ launched on March 11, 2010 during WCF’s annual Parties Of Your Choice Gala in New York. Directed by the Artistic Director of Transport Group, Jack Cummings, Voices From The Ladder features 17 of America’s strongest women leaders including Ambassador Swanee Hunt, Barbara Lee, Secretary Jennifer Brunner, Liz Schuler, and Christie Hefner. Each of their unique personal perspectives paints the picture of why we need more women in government.
Voices From The Ladder is created to be performed by groups of women from across the country adding their personal perspective about why we need more women in government. This performance piece serves not only to help us understand the importance of having more women in government, but also serves to inspire more women to consider pursuing leadership positions.
