“Supermajority knows that women are the majority of Americans and majority of voters, and this election season, women are fired up. Supercharge is a day to celebrate women and the work we are doing to change this country for good,” Supermajority co-founder Cecile Richards said. “Women have been on the frontlines of this pandemic – as health care workers, moms, caregivers, teachers – and we need a government that takes our health and our families well being seriously. We welcome everyone who cares about the future to join with us – to laugh together, learn together, and then get to work – to run the largest possible woman-to woman-voter turnout program, and make history.”

Between now and Election day, Supermajority members and volunteers will be trained and activated to send 4.5 million text messages, make at least 250,000 phone calls, write 50,000 letters, and utilize the powerful tactic of relational organizing to speak to people they know about voting. The Supercharge campaign is focused on educating and mobilizing two million women to vote, particularly young women and women of color, and swing women voters in key states (Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona).
