Nine Million Steps Closer To a Better America
Galvanize USA connected with over nine and a half million women across the country this year through our ads and programming! Thanks to your help:
Issue Education Ads
Our digital issue education ads made more than 500 MILLION impressions across eleven states, strengthening support for reproductive freedom, democracy, and strategies that help families make ends meet.
Our ads were watched for over 1.7 million hours this year! These values-based messages inspired women to agree that:
“Decisions regarding pregnancies should rest with women, their loved ones, and medical professionals.”
“I trust the federal government to implement solutions that help people like me make ends meet.”
“Discussion of sexual orientation and/or gender identity in public schools should be allowed.”
The Galvanize USA team would like to extend another very heartfelt “thank you!” to the volunteer messengers who invited us into their homes, shared their real stories with us, and recorded the ads that helped move over 9.5 million women toward a better America. We truly could not have done it without you all!
Galvanize Together Community Program
Issue education messages aren’t the only way we connected with women this year: Galvanize Together was just what our audience needed to process the anxiety-inducing headlines and polarizing narratives they were inundated with. This year our subscribers sorted through current events, called out disinformation, and built civic agency together. They shared parenting advice, navigated changing access to reproductive healthcare, and made sense of much of the division and chaos that our fragile democracy continues to face. A lot of this is due to the abundance of support and wisdom they received from the Dear Grace advice column this year!
Check out a few of our very favorite Dear Grace posts from 2024:
- Should I vote with my husband?
- How do I have the sex talk with my son?
- How do I deal with my family’s political differences?
- My son’s marriage is struggling. How do I help him when I think HE’S the problem?
And don’t miss our team’s favorite Grace Note, too!

In Focus Community Conversations
Quizzes and polls aren’t the only way we heard from our audience this year—we got to connect with over 145 women in our In Focus community conversations! Participants shared how they feel about big topics like parenting without a village, women’s healthcare, and setting healthy boundaries. There was connection, reflection, some tears, and a lot of laughter as former strangers had brave conversations on camera. The resulting highlight clips were played about 75,000 times in 2024!
