WomanUp is an activist network of hundreds of thousands of women and allies, stepping up to fight for progressive causes and candidates. Our goal is to leverage the power of women to make progressive change.
WomanUp is a partner of LeftAction, and was launched by one of its leaders, Leigh Stringer. WomanUp partners with a range of progressive organizations and candidates, and helps match them up with activists with a demonstrated passion for their causes.
