Emerge California’s signature program is a 6-month, hybrid training for Democratic women planning to run for elected office. Our program prepares women to run and win — by providing skills, strategy, community, and a deep bench of support.

We are intentional about recruiting Democratic women from communities historically excluded from politics — including the New American Majority: Black, Brown, and Indigenous women, women of color, LGBTQ+ women, young, and unmarried women.
