[email protected], 510-316-2892 Aimee Allison Launches She the People Summit: A National Conference on Women of Color and Politics Aimee Allison, President of Democracy in Color, is launching She the People with the first-ever national summit featuring women of color in politics. The She the People Summit will take place Thursday, September 20, 2018 in San Francisco. In full anticipation of the 2018 midterm elections, the summit will officially launch She the People’s three-year effort to tell a national story that rightly centers women of color as the drivers of a new progressive political and cultural era. She the People elevates and amplifies the voice and power of women of color as the agents of an inclusive, multiracial coalition––a coalition that is transforming our democracy. In swing states such as Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas, and Arizona, women of color are forging a new democratic majority. The national She the People Summit will gather over 500 elected officials, activists, organizers, campaign professionals, journalists, and others from across the country to launch a new conversation that centers women of color as voters, advocates, strategists, and leaders who are dedicated to creating a deeply inclusive and just democracy. Confirmed speakers include: ● Montserrat Arredondo, Field
