Thank you, O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IU Indianapolis, for hosting this panel! We had a wonderful time! #Women4ChangeIN

The O'Neill School is dedicated to educating and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. One way we're able to do that is by connecting our students with those who are already well into their leadership journeys. This week, students heard from an incredible group of women about their path to leadership and the challenges they’ve overcome as they work toward their goals. The panel included IU Indianapolis Chancellor Latha Ramchand; O'Neill alumni Angie Carr Klitzsch (Women 4 Change Indiana), IMPD Asst. Chief Catherine Cummings, and Sarah Taylor (Hoosier Lottery); O'Neill associate faculty member Beth White (Indiana Coalition to End Sexual Assault and Human Trafficking); and O'Neill alumna and MPA candidate Faith Odiete, a second lieutenant military intelligence officer in the U.S. Army.

More women than men support using the national popular vote over the Electoral College system to elect the U.S. president, according to a new poll that also highlights how women see the stakes of the 2024 presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The poll, by the University of Massachusetts Amherst and League of Women Voters, found that 62 percent of women support a popular vote system in which the candidate who wins the most votes nationwide wins the presidential election. Meanwhile, support among men for a presidential election by popular vote stands at 52 percent. That difference is driven by party, with 80 percent of Democrats supporting a popular vote, compared to 49 percent of independents and 37 percent of Republicans. Currently, in the electoral college system, each state is assigned a number of “electors” based on the state’s population. The candidate who receives a simple majority of 270 electoral votes — out of a total of 538 electoral votes — becomes president. Questions surrounding the Electoral College system have gained increasing visibility, with critics pointing out the role that race and slavery played in shaping the system and the ways it continues to restrict a more diverse pool of presidential candidates to this day. In the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton received about 2.9 million more votes than Trump, but Trump won the presidency with 304 electoral votes. With less than two weeks until Election Day and another woman at the top of the ticket, representatives from the League of Women Voters say that women want a more representative system that prioritizes the power of the people. “Women acknowledge the crossroads we stand at as a nation, with the growing concern that our democracy is at risk,” Dianna Wynn, president of the League of Women Voters of the United States, says in a press statement. “They understand that the stability and fairness of our democratic institutions are crucial to ensuring a better future. At the League, we believe in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy, and we remain committed to ensuring everyone is fully represented in our electoral system.” ✍️: Candice Norwood, reporter 📸: Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images

The politicians backed by the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 deny their involvement in their own plan to eradicate trusted public institutions and the human rights of women and millions of Americans, when they saw how unpopular it was. Don’t believe them. We talked to author and Constitutional scholar Sheila Seuss Kennedy about the Project 2025 agenda, its implications for American women and democracy if its architects come into power. The future is frightening if Project 2025 wins. If you are reading this now, you have the responsibility to choose a different and better future with your vote. 🗳️ What are you waiting for? #project2025 #election2024
