Women Engaged

Women Engaged exists because if Black women, girls, and femmes thrive, communities around them flourish. WE focuses on strengthening the voter participation of new voters and to increase the voting activity of inactive registered voters on the issues paramount to their communities and lives through year round voter education and “Get Out the Vote” campaigns.

In 2020, Georgia witnessed record-breaking voter turnout in the general election. The phenomenon was set to repeat itself in the January 2021 senate runoff. WE celebrated this increase in voter turnout as the culmination of years of steady, non-partisan work to engage Black and youth populations across the state. According to the Pew Research Group, the increase in turnout in 2020 was led by an increase in voter registration since 2016, across all groups but led by Black voter registrations.
