in the Community

Voting: The full and equitable participation of women in public life is essential to building and sustaining strong, vibrant democracies. Women’s participation in politics helps advance gender equality and affects both the range of policy issues that get considered and the types of solutions that are proposed. Women's political participation results in tangible gains for      democracy, including greater responsiveness to citizen needs, increased cooperation across party and ethnic lines, and a more sustainable future. There is also strong evidence that as more women are elected to office, there is a corollary increase in policy making that emphasizes quality of life and reflects the priorities of families, women, and ethnic and racial minorities.

In the words of Madeleine Albright, women in power “can be counted on to raise issues that others overlook, to support ideas that others oppose, and to seek an end to abuses that others accept.”

TenThirtyFive: "It is our hope to plant a seed in allowing young women to identify those gifts and strengths while finding confidence in who they are created to be. We do this through mentoring and fashion. We will begin with a curriculum developed to help these young women identify these strengths. They will also be welcomed into our upscale thrift store to pick out and take home clothing for free that best fits their needs."
