Keep this book close as you take on the world!“” —Emily Koh, director of strategic initiatives, TIME’S UP ””After You Vote is a tremendous, well-timed, and highly accessible resource with proven and practical tools for women who are looking to use their minutes wisely to make the greatest impact, and it couldn’t have come at a more critical time: women’s political participation is more important now than ever.“” —Erin Loos Cutraro, CEO and founder, She Should Run ”“Courtney Emerson’s new book, After You Vote, is a critical call to action empowering all women with the skills and resources to make an impact. Now, more than ever, we need women harnessing their full collective power to build a more inclusive and diverse political landscape.”” —Kathy Hochul, 77th Lt. Governor of New York and former Member of Congress ”“I know so many women who want to be more politically active but who hesitate, feeling lost or disillusioned with the current state of things. But, as After You Vote makes clear, the reality is that it’s never been more important to get involved and fight for the causes you support. Let this brilliant book help you get started!”” —Giovanna Gray Lockhart, founder, NYWC“
