We believe that EVERY girl from the earliest age should be empowered with not only an understanding of #civics but also a strong belief in herself. Every girl should realize the role that she can play-no matter her age- in helping her community, and her country to create change and ensure that democracy thrives to fulfill the promise of equality for all.
This Girl Can! use her voice. She can learn about how government works and why voting matters. She can knock on doors, make phone calls, register voters, organize, rally, take action, support...at any level. This Girl Can! be confident. She can be inspired and inspiring. She can be a leader. This Girl Can! run! starting even in a school or community group election...and She can vote!

“People say, what is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time.

There is too much work to do.” ~ Dorothy Day
A portion of the proceeds from all our collections goes to supporting organizations around the globe working to promote girls' education, health, security, and freedom.
Be sure to support organizations, such as the ones below, who are working to educate and ensure that we understand and respect the history of the hard-fought right to vote, that every voice is heard, that #votingrights endure and that we empower every girl to believe that Yes! This Girl Can Change the World.
