About GALvanize USA
The 2016 election and #MeToo movement have disrupted the cultural status quo. Women are marching, organizing, and running for office in record numbers. But millions of women living in suburban, small town, and rural communities face barriers that keep them from using their political power to advance progress for all.
GALvanize USA is a new initiative focused on creating the tools and strategies to support women to build the political confidence and agency needed to use their political power to advance solutions that work for all of us. GALvanize USA conducts in-depth multi-sector research, tests promising organizing strategies, and works with community-based partners to address the systemic barriers working to undermine the political agency of millions of women.
