Monthly message from the executive director

September

Happy September! It feels like 2024 is flying by, and now here we are less than 50 days out from another presidential election. Today I want to remind you why Galvanize Action and Galvanize USA focus on moderate women, and why our audience is more important than ever before. 

Democracy relies on conversation, and we need everyone—including those in the middle—to stay engaged. Understanding this moderate middle is one of the reasons I founded Galvanize Action and Galvanize USA! Our work supports civic engagement, even when it can be tempting to avoid the conflict of our increasingly polarized political environment. 

There are 49 million moderate white women nationwide. They are the largest group of voters nationally, and a large percentage of the undecided bloc in key states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. They want a better America, they are looking for elected leaders who speak to them and their concerns, and they are going to show up at the polls in November. We want them to align their vote choice with their values when they do.

Onward to progress,
Jackie Payne
