Take
Political Action
Creating meaningful change requires political action. By voting, advocating, or organizing, you can influence decisions that shape your community and protect essential rights. Political engagement ensures that diverse voices are heard, leaders are held accountable, and policies reflect the needs of the people. With our plans in place, we take to the streets to make our voices seen and heard by those in power. Feeling unsettled by current policies? Thinking About Joining? — Stand up. Take action. And help build a better future with us.
Educate the
Public
At We Can Lead Change, many of us are retired teachers dedicated to protecting democracy through education. We believe that providing accurate, fact-based information empowers people to make informed choices and drive change. Through community education, we’re combating misinformation and building a knowledgeable, active community. We’ve done our homework — Tap the button above to learn about Trump’s PROJECT 2025.

Democracy is Protected When Everyone's Voice
Has a Chance To Be Heard
The Core Values We Fight For
Inclusive Advocacy For All
We believe in equal rights for all — no exceptions. Our mission is to support political candidates who champion these values and hold accountable those who perpetuate inequality. Regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or social status, everyone deserves the right to be heard, protected, and safe.
Endorsing Economic Justice
Economic equality is a cornerstone of a fair and just society. We advocate for policies that ensure everyone, regardless of background or income, has access to the resources and opportunities needed to thrive. From fair wages and job opportunities to affordable housing and healthcare. We fight for a system where success isn’t limited by economic disparity.
Protecting Reproductive Rights
Women have the fundamental right to make choices about their own bodies and lives. We fight to protect this right as it faces growing threats from extreme and outdated ideologies. We believe every woman should have autonomy over her reproductive health, and we advocate for policies that defend this freedom against political interference.
Community Empowerment
Our mission is to educate and unite the public around critical issues that impact us all. By coming together, we build stronger, more resilient communities. United in solidarity, we wield the power to drive meaningful change and tackle the social and economic challenges threatening our future and that of our families.

Who We Are
We began as a passionate group of mostly women, inspired by the January 20, 2017 Women's March.
Many of us took to the streets, both locally and in Washington D.C.
United by a shared commitment to action.
What started as a moment of collective empowerment quickly evolved into a deeper mission:
To harness our power to drive meaningful change in our government.
Determined to stay engaged, we’re committed to educating ourselves, meeting every other month, and actively participating in shaping the political landscape.
Through ongoing discussions about our shared values and concerns, we crafted the following mission statement, which reflects our unwavering dedication to advocacy and community action.
We are proudly woman-founded and women-led.
