About WE Rise

The North Dakota Women’s Network (NDWN) presents an amazing opportunity for an incredible hands on learning experience for women- right in our state’s capitol! On March 9th, 2015 women from across the state will be in the epicenter of our state’s legislative activity.

WE Rise: Women Empowered will offer behind the scenes insight, meetings with our local lawmakers, and training on how to lobby. Women will have the experience of a lifetime!

The very core of the work we do at the NDWN is to empower women. Demystifying the legislative process is the first step to women’s political participation. WE Rise: Women Empowered is that step where women will learn, participate, carry their enthusiasm home to the other women in their lives and have the opportunity to say “represent me”. The four focus areas of freedom from violence, reproductive health, women’s economic security, and education allow and encourage women to advocate for strong public policy in the justice areas they care about most.

There is much work to do to improve the lives of women across the state.  The time has come for the women of North Dakota to unite and have our voices heard. WE Rise: Women Empowered is this opportunity and will be a truly historic day for our state!
