    96 years ago today, women won the right to vote on the same terms as men. With 2 days until the election we want to be heard. We are 51% of the population and our votes will be critical in deciding the election outcome. Read our joint letter: bit.ly/45MfLBi #SheVotes24

    1/3 Thanks to all who notified us of concerns about someone who signed up as a WI supporter, which we took this very seriously, investigated & reported immediately. A WI supporter is not the same as a WI member, it confers no membership rights & has no contact with WI members...
