Supermajority Unveils Nationwide Tour to Elevate Women's Issues Ahead of 2020 Election

Five months after unveiling Supermajority, a political movement built around the idea that women make up a majority of American voters and organizers but are underrepresented in government, the national group on Wednesday unveiled a plan for a cross-country tour to mobilize women ahead of the 2020 election.

Led by National Domestic Workers Alliance director Ai-jen Poo, former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, and Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza, Supermajority will make stops in 14 states and Washington, D.C. starting September 15.

Women in cities including Birmingham, Alabama; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Cincinnati, Ohio will be able to engage with presidential candidates taking part in the events in a new way, Supermajority said in a press statement Wednesday.

Instead of candidates including Julian Castro, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), and Pete Buttigieg addressing audiences about their plans for the country, “women will speak to the candidates about the issues affecting their lives,” the group said.

During the tour, which will feature appearances by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Latinx rights advocate Paola Ramos, Supermajority will unveil a policy platform called the “Majority Rules.”
