The Women’s Pipeline for Change is building a sustainable infrastructure to support progressive women of color as they enter, navigate and move up the pipeline of political leadership. We aim to expand public expectations of who our leaders are.

The Women's Pipeline for Change envisions a consistent stream of women of color entering public life and leading their communities at all levels, resulting in a vibrant and inclusive political system that produces sound policies and decisions to support working families and communities.

The Pipeline is a coalition comprised of progressive women of color leaders, women of color-led organizations and allies from various sectors of public service. We have defined four initiatives to understand, build and support progressive women of color in public service that complement current organizations and resources in Massachusetts.

Our first initiative, the Participatory Action Research Fellowship was launched in April 2011. Learn more about this initiative and our extraordinary first group of research fellows.
