Women's Caucus

A Community
And Safe Space.

The Women’s Caucus is a space for women and non-binary members from across the network to gather and share their lived experiences in governing. We are building a collective vision that will create more avenues to support women in office, women who want to run for office, and the women and caretakers in our community. 

The Women’s Caucus is open to both current and former LP members who identify as a woman, who identify as a combination of genders, or who do not subscribe to a gender binary and feel that this space could serve them.

Women's Caucus Leadership Committee

As a membership organization, we believe our work is most impactful when it is informed and guided by members. The Women’s Caucus is guided by a leadership committee and two co-chairs who play a critical role in shaping the vision and shared strategy of the caucus.
