Nothing is going to change for women until women demand change

.

So…in 2020, DEMAND CHANGE.  Support women running!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE —  CHICAGO – 1/2/2020 — Formulating New Year’s Eve resolutions for 2020?

RUN

, a new independently produced TV show, has a suggestion for the feminists in the room: support women running for office using a “squad” mentality that defends, supports and amplifies women during their run!

RUN

has already transformed the campaign of one woman, Bushra Amiwala, who won her race for school board in IL in 2019 by a narrow margin with the team’s help.  The format of the show includes five female experts in campaign strategy, PR, tech, activism and comedy that empower scrappy, novice, passionate female political candidates to run. The team has already gathered an audience of 30k followers and is currently in talks with networks to land the show.  The show’s trailer and info can be found at

“Nothing is going to change for women until women demand change as a group,” states Genevieve Thiers, producer and tech trainer of

RUN

.  “We are the supermajority.  But we’ve faced so many challenges for equality in our own lives that we very rarely support each other, monetarily or otherwise.”  Thiers has one suggestion for reversing this thinking.  “It’s 2020.  Try something new.  Reverse course and throw your support and voice behind as many women who share your views and are running as you possibly can.”  Thiers has put her money where her mouth is on this front.  A mother of twins who founded tech company

Sittercity.com

and has funded over 15 women in tech companies and supported over 50 women in politics, she is a force for women worldwide.

The RUN team has five specific suggestions for how best to help women running.

Support her with talent.

If you have an area of expertise….be it campaign, fundraising, tech, content creation, social media, field work, legal….reach out to her team right away and ask if there are gaps you can fill in the campaign office while she runs.

Support her with money.

Not all of us have to max out in donations.  Even $1000 makes a huge difference to a woman running.  The very best thing you can do is a home event, where you invite neighbors, friends and family and set a goal to raise x dollars for the candidate and her team.

Defend her.

If news comes out that seems suspect, in today’s era of false news it very well might be false.  Women are also especially prone to attacks on their looks, their voices and any emotion they show. Use your voice on social media to call out anything blatantly unfair and urge friends to, too.

Amplify her.

In the same way, if the women you are supporting have policy changes, messaging or news that they are trying to distribute, send it across your social networks and send bulk emails.  This is easy and will do wonders for her viral reach.

Zig when others Zag.

At first, your strategy of supporting women might be met with raise eyebrows, especially from boomer women, who unfortunately had it the worst when it came to competitiveness.  Don’t try to talk these women over to your side.  Just loudly and consistently support women and you will see it rub off fast into their own behaviors as well.

“It is so important for women to be a part of the political process” states the show’s PR expert Mary Simms, an army veteran and mother of twins based out of California. So this year, get out there this year and help women RUN.

RUN the Series

RUN is a new series produced by Ana Breton, Victoria Elena Nones and Genevieve Thiers. The show helps women running for office win via training and help from five female experts in Campaign Strategy, PR, Tech, Activism, and Comedy called “The Boss Squad.”  In each episode of RUN, a different woman\’s campaign is transformed from striving to thriving.  Filmed in the heart of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, RUN’s pilot episode follows 21-year-old muslim candidate Bushra Amiwala in her race for School Board in Skokie, IL.  (Spoiler alert—she wins!). The show aims to inspire, educate, and empower an audience of women and girls to get out and knock doors, become a donor, take the leap to run for political office and build squads around each other to win.  See more at

Simple Tricks to Improve Your Appearance

Gloucestercitynews.net (Dec. 11, 2019)–Appearance isn’t everything. How you look doesn’t determine what kind of person you can be or what your limits are. However, it does affect how you see yourself within society and, therefore your self-esteem, mood and confidence. These are what guide you through life, from your interactions with other people to your outlook on situations.

Although it isn’t necessarily an aspect of you that requires modification to help you achieve happiness, changes to your appearance can help you feel more confident and better able to reach your goals. Here are a few simple tricks to help you improve your appearance.

Eat Healthily

One of the first steps to take for improving your appearance is to take good care of your insides. Your diet plays an important part in how you look. This can be as simple as weight gain or weight loss, or drinking enough water to make sure your skin is kept moisturized from the inside. The science and evolution behind what people consider attractive comes down to building a healthy family, which means that we have learned as a species to see beauty in good health.

Getting the right nutrients into your diet takes some practice, especially if you are a picky eater. Making sure that you are properly nourished helps to keep your complexion healthy, your hair shiny and your nails strong. It also helps to keep your muscles, organs and bones working as they should. A healthy person is an attractive one, so focus on eating well to maintain your good looks.

Get Active

Similar to the last point, staying physically fit helps to increase your levels of attractiveness. This is simply because a healthier person is perceived to be more attractive and is also

more likely to be happier

due to their better health, which is another attractive quality. Find a physical activity that gets your heart pumping and make sure you stick to it regularly. You’ll find yourself noticing progress and feeling more confident in yourself as the weeks go by.

Help Your Hair

A good head of hair can make a huge difference to a person’s self-esteem. Whenever significant hair loss occurs, whether through medical treatment, alopecia or simply a haircut gone too far, a person’s confidence levels can drastically plummet.

Of course, there are plenty of attractive people with little or no hair, but for those who feel most confident when they have a full head of it, you can

to achieve your goals. Learn to style your hair in such a way that you feel comfortable and confident in your appearance. Don’t always follow the latest hair trends as these tend to be looked back on from future selves with embarrassment.

Stay Hygienic

Good hygiene

is a great way to feel more attractive. Clean hair, skin, nails and clothes give the impression of a happy and organized person who takes care of themselves. You don’t need designer outfits or a fancy haircut to make a good impression of yourself – just keep clean.

Find a Style

There’s nothing more attractive than someone who trusts their own judgement and carries themselves with confidence. Discover your own personal style by experimenting with clothes until you find what you like best.

Look After Your Skin

Your skin is precious. It prevents you from infection and disease, which is why you should take good care of it. Skin is one of the first parts of the body to show signs of ageing, so making sure you look after it while its healthy is vital to feeling more attractive. Find a

skincare routine

that works for you. Make sure to clean your face every day and moisturise it to prevent premature wrinkles. Staying out of the sun is one of the best things you can do for your skin as this will help prevent sunburn which can lead to skin cancer and premature ageing.

Care for Your Teeth

Your teeth must be looked after in order to make life easier and less painful. Damaged teeth not only hurt but also distract from an otherwise pleasant appearance. Ever since childhood, we are berated about how to brush twice a day and avoid sugary food and drink to avoid cavities, but these simple routines make all the difference in the long run. Maintaining your own adult teeth is much easier than going through the pain of dental procedures and surgeries every time a new problem occurs. Keep your teeth healthy and you’ll feel more confident sharing your smile.
