Together, we can create a country where we all thrive.
Mission
Galvanize USA supports women to use their civic power to create an America that works for everyone.
vision
We all want a good life for ourselves, our neighbors, and our kids—a safe place to grow up, good schools, affordable healthcare, and a real future. Despite this shared vision, our nation feels more divided every day. People are shouting instead of listening, and a whole lot of fighting means very little progress. We believe there is a different way forward. One that is rooted in meaningful connection, where we get the support we need, feel less alone, and can learn and grow together.
We’ve talked with women across the country—particularly in rural, small town, and suburban communities—who tell us they feel alone in their beliefs, sometimes struggle to say what they think when it comes to issues they care about, and are unsure of how they can make a difference. They tell us they avoid talking about politics for fear of the conflict it will create in their homes and their lives. The division and polarization so prevalent in politics today is exacerbating this concern and causing more and more women to step back from civic engagement. This has serious implications for our democracy.
The Galvanize USA community is built on supportive, honest connection. Our research-driven programming allows us to understand the challenges that can prevent us from building durable change in this country and to create the solutions we need. We share tips and tools as we navigate busy lives, put politics into context, and build each other up so that we can have brave conversations that move us all forward. Our community supports a healthy participation in our democracy so that together, we can achieve our vision of an America that works for everyone.
