Membership

The Women’s Democracy Lab members-only community is for diverse women and gender-expansive folks currently serving in elected office. Our people are leaders who are stepping up to meet the moment, fighting for an American democracy that is just, accessible, and responsive to all communities.

We understand the very unique safety challenges that women in elected office face. We are committed to providing a protective and caring container for our members to gather, learn, heal, and strategize together without having to worry about their own physical safety, microaggressions or harassment based on their identities, or barriers put up by their opponents and our society as a whole.

What we offer our members:

  • Network

    A private community of diverse women currently serving in elected office, offering opportunities for connecting, cultivating ambition, and collectively learning

  • Curated Content

    Resources, workshops, masterclasses, and events tailored specifically to the needs of women in elected office, with input from our own private community of members

  • Professional Development

    Access to trusted subject-matter experts who can help you take your career to the next level, while also understanding the unique challenges our members face
