Aunties. Sisters. Mamas. Daughters. Friends. Neighbors.
We Want To Hear From You.
The mom in Oxnard. The grandmother in Fresno. The teacher in Sacramento. The farmworker in Bakersfield. The nurse in Long Beach. The student in San Diego. The auntie in Oakland. The veteran in Riverside.
The neighbor next door, wherever your door is.
You know. Your lived experience is the voice California can't afford to ignore.
What's best for our state. Our families. Our health. Our future.
So here's what we want to know…
If you were Governor of California…
What are your three priorities?
What gets done in the first 100 days?
Three priorities. Three minutes. In your own voice.
Women's voices on the record — finally.
Women in California — workers, caregivers, founders, organizers, voters, deciders.
Of California's population is women — a slight majority that doesn't sound like a majority anywhere it counts.
We are the ones who know what this state actually needs — because we live it, we fund it, we hold it together, and we vote on it.
What's missing from the conversation isn't more polling, more think pieces, or more politicians. What's missing is us — speaking for ourselves, naming our own priorities, in our own words.
So we are.
Not because we haven't been here.
Because no one is tracking it.
Now we are.
A statewide chorus built on one simple idea: every woman in California deserves to be heard.
And every one of those priorities deserves to be on the record.
What three priorities matter most to you for the state of California?
Housing. Healthcare. Schools. Wildfires. Childcare. Wages. Public safety. Aging. Food prices. Water. Mental health. The cost of living. The roads. The future.
You decide. Pick the three you'd put on the table if you were Governor.
Three minutes maximum. Phone is fine. No script required. Speak as yourself.
Open: "My name is [name]. I'm a [entrepreneur, mom, baker, farmer, etc.] of California. If I were running for Governor, here are my three priorities."
Close: "I'm inviting three more California women to do the same. Record yours. Post with #WomenOfCalifornia. Let's put women's priorities on the record — today."
Post on any platform — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn.
Tag #WomenOfCalifornia plus the identity tags that fit you. Then tag three more women.
The bigger the chorus, the harder it is to ignore.
Sign up and we'll send you the toolkit: video prompts, talking points, shareable graphics, hashtag stacks, and updates as the chorus grows across California.
Women of California is the launch of a chapter-by-chapter archive of women's voices, priorities, and contributions — state by state, country by country.
