The Power of 10,000Together, we are powerful. Together, we are 10,000 Women.
You have the power to help more people vote—and it starts with five people you know.
10,000 Women Louisiana is launching Take 5 to the Polls, a campaign asking you to help at least five friends, relatives, coworkers, or neighbors vote early.
A personal conversation can make a difference. Help someone check their registration, review their ballot, make a voting plan, and follow through. Call them. Text them. Offer to go together. Take five to the polls!
Here’s how to get started:
Make your list. Choose at least five people from your family, friends, workplace, neighborhood, faith community, organizations, or social media connections.
Help them get ready. Encourage each person to check their voter registration, review their sample ballot, and find voting locations through the GeauxVote app or the Louisiana Secretary of State’s website.
Make a plan to vote early. Ask: “What day will you vote? Where will you go? Do you need a ride?” Arrange to go together when you can.
Follow up until they vote. Text, email, or call. Ask whether they’ve voted and help them work through any barriers.
Encourage them to Take 5, too! Invite each person to help five people in their own circle vote.
Start with a simple message:
“Hey [name]! I’m participating in 10,000 Women Louisiana’s Take 5 to the Polls campaign, and I’d love for you to vote early with me. Are you registered? You can check your registration, find voting locations, and see your sample ballot at https://www.sos.la.gov/elections-voting. Early voting starts October 20. What day works for you?”

Our Mission
10,000 Women Louisiana is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the voices, leadership, and power of women across Louisiana.
Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, we work to ensure that women’s rights, health, and opportunities are protected and expanded.
Our History
10,000 Women Louisiana began as a bold vision: to unite women across the state to build collective power and influence.
In its first years, the organization launched advocacy campaigns on reproductive health and maternal care, created leadership development programs to support women running for office, and established community-based policy conversations through its Wisdom, Wine & Women series.
By 2025, 10,000 Women Louisiana had grown into a statewide movement with thousands of supporters, laying the foundation for its long-term goal of mobilizing 10,000 women to change Louisiana’s future.
Our Issues
• Protecting reproductive freedom and access to healthcare.
• Expanding voting rights and civic participation.
• Addressing Louisiana’s maternal health crisis.
• Advancing economic opportunity and fair wages.
• Protecting LGBTQIA+ rights and freedoms.
Programs
Women on Wednesday
An advocacy program to advance policies for women, girls, and gender-expansive people in Louisiana. Each week, during the Louisiana Legislative Session, we host groups of advocates at the State Capitol to learn about proposed legislation, its potential impacts, and ways to influence the legislative process.
