Proceeds from the event will directly fuel Democratic Women’s mission to support pro-choice candidates locally and nationally — building the momentum we need to take back the House in 2026 and safeguard our democracy.

Why flipping Congress matters:

• Regaining the House majority is the only way to put a real check on Trump’s agenda and stop policies that threaten our democracy.
• With a Democratic majority, we can block regressive legislation, prevent cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, and hold Trump and his enablers accountable.
• A flipped Congress can slow or halt the passage of extreme bills and provide oversight on executive actions.
• Only by having majority control can Democrats truly resist and reverse the MAGA Republican agenda.

Space is limited — join us in showing that We the People will not be silenced.

To achieve our mission it is imperative that every seat at our sole fundraising event is a paid seat. To ensure accessibility and recognize those who have shown exceptional commitment, we are inviting scholarship donations to underwrite a limited number of seats for individuals who could not otherwise attend but have demonstrated significant dedication and volunteerism to our organization.
