Voting, Running for office, How local governance works

Welcome to You Sound Like a Girl, a storytelling project that explores and elevates cis and trans women’s stories about our voices.

This episode we talk about how to use our voices as voters. Katherine Walsh, NY State Assembly candidate, shares why it’s important for women to vote and run for office, and we learn how we can get involved and use our voices to make change locally.
