Heyyy, Connection Queen!
You are the friend we all want in our lives -– what if you are also the solution to how to fix our divisive politics? As a Connection Queen, you're everybody's bestie. A great listener, supportive, and quick to help a friend in need, you stay extra busy juggling a full social calendar and the needs of all the people who depend on you. You have friends on both sides of the aisle and never let someone's political beliefs get in the way of your friendships. So when election season comes around, you cringe. Often the peacemaker in the group, you're tired of the tension between loved ones! Sometimes you wonder whether you should “accidentally” schedule a vacation the week of the election to escape?If you're turned off by the conflict and tension in politics, we get it. We just don't want you to throw your voice away! What if, and hear us out, YOU are the one we are waiting for?! We need more peacemaking girlies like YOU to be a part of this American experiment -- people who think about their friends and neighbors when they vote and bring their positive spirit into civic engagement. You don't have to become an activist or a professional politician, but don't outsource your vote! Bring others along with you, and let your voice be heard. Easier said than done, right? We're over the divisiveness and confusion this election season too, so check out our Hope Votes campaign (linked below!) for accessible, trusted resources like our Principled Voter essentials and Media Literacy Election hub, each designed to bring people together over differences, like you Connection Queens do best! What do we know about bringing people together?MWEG is a nonpartisan grassroots organization created by women and led by women who work every day to build peace in our own communities. Members of MWEG span 49 states (and the political spectrum!) but share a love of country, and we believe that we can and should support principled leaders who treat us like neighbors and not opponents. With our Hope Votes campaign, we'll show you how.
