The numbers they are seeing tell the story of a movement that doesn't appear to be letting up.
920 to more than 19,000 -- the number of women contacting Emily's List about standing for election in the entire 2016 cycle,and just since the election of Trump.
1,800 to more than 15,000 -- the average number of annual inquiries to the She Should Run advocacy group, and then the number since the 2016 election
Up 87% -- applications to Emerge America training courses for women candidates from 2016 to 2017.
Up 60% -- the number of women standing for the Virginia General Assembly next week, compared to the last time all seats were up for election.
