Women’s Diversity Leadership Council

About

Engaging diverse women and girls in politics helps advance not only gender equality but also expand socioeconomic, ethnic, and racial equality. The Women’s DLC will energize women and girls throughout the state, register voters, amplify the Democratic message, engage with members of diverse communities, and turn out Democratic voters throughout Maryland.  Help us to write the next chapter of HERstory.
