Laphonza Butler: I take great pride in being the first Black woman and the first mom to be at the helm of EMILYโ€™s List. The organization has done such incredible work over the past 36 years to literally change the face of American politics. I feel that weight to make sure that women, no matter their socioeconomic status or their ethnic background, can feel that EMILYโ€™s List is a place where they can find the resources and the support that they need to run a successful campaign.

 

My work at SEIU Local 2015 was a microcosm of the globe. I chose to be the kind of leader that produced all our written materials in eight languages and conducted all of our meetings with simultaneous translation in English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Armenian, Russian, Vietnamese and Tagalog, a Filipino dialect.I think itโ€™s a manifestation of my journey as a Black woman and not feeling like my voice mattered.
