An interactive and reflective event pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to engage in advocacy.
Find Out More »The Matriots Education Fund in partnership with Enlightened Solutions wants to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to engage in advocacy.
Not just the visible work of campaigning or activating, but the hidden barriers that too often go unspoken, like financial pressures, bias, family responsibilities, and systemic inequities. At the same time, this event will highlight resilience. For example: how candidates and leaders develop the inner strength, strategies, and community support needed to push through obstacles and stay grounded in their purpose.The event is both interactive and reflective: part storytelling, part skill-building, and part community connection.
This event is free and open to all, but spaces are limited.

Each year we endorse and support candidates in both primaries and the general election. Here are the candidates we have endorsed so far this year.
Other Ways to Be a Matriot
There are many ways to get involved, support women candidates who share our values, and fight to get them elected.
The Matriots wants to represent all of Ohio’s 88 counties, and to do that, we need member communities across the state. Our regional Hives are led by our volunteer Queen Bees, who are ambassadors for new members, and they help knit together the members with the women running for office in their communities. The Queen Bees bring The Matriots regional knowledge.
