73% of women who are considering running for public office say that their fear of online harassment could prevent them from running.
It is time for the environment to become safer for all women and gender diverse candidates entering politics.

Our thoughts go out to Mayor
@JyotiGondek
and her family. No one deserves to be intimidated in such a despicable manner.
We strongly condemn this behavior, as it is yet another perfect example of what contributes to the lack of representation and retention of women in politics.

We can stand on different sides of issues - but we should all stand together on the side of rejecting misogynist language. This tweet is unacceptable. The

reason women - of all political stripes - cite for not running is the caustic tone of politics. Let’s do better.
