We sat down for a talk with Cecile Richards, co-founder of Supermajority, a new women’s advocacy group, moderated by Texas Tribune Editor-in-Chief Emily Ramshaw.

Richards, the former president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, launched Supermajority with the aim of connecting and empowering progressive women and inspiring them to take action. She previously served as deputy chief of staff for U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, now speaker of the House, and is the founder of the Texas Freedom Network and America Votes, a coalition aiming to maximize voter participation.

Wait! We need your help.

More than 2 million people read Texas Tribune articles every month, but only 12,000 of those readers also donate to support the news they count on. Not even 1% of readers! If you are one of the 99% of Texas Tribune readers who hasn’t made a donation before in support of independent Texas news, you can change that today. A small donation makes a big impact.

Our Spring Member Drive is an important time to help our newsroom plan for what resources will be available for them to tackle longer investigations and bigger projects later this year. Texas Tribune journalists need the support of readers to write the articles, take the photographs and create the data visualizations that impact Texans and Texas policy.

We have a goal to have 500 readers become Texas Tribune members during our Spring Member Drive. As the Tribune member community grows, the journalism you read here is better protected. Will you make a donation today to show your support of independent Texas news?
