From Citizen to Candidate: a conversation with WPI alums who ran for public office… and (sometimes) won
Last week, we gathered for what was truly an inspiring conversation with Women’s Policy Institute alums who ran, and are running, for public office. We all know gender justice means having womxn writing our laws from the state legislature to the senate floor.
