President Trump's election victory may have struck fear in many minority groups in the US, but it has also inspired an influx of women to run for political office.

Emily's List, a political action committee that recruits and promotes pro-choice and Democratic women candidates reported that over 4,000 women in the US have sought their guidance on running for political office. The number of requests is FOUR times more than what Emily's List normally receives in the past 22 months.

Erin Vilardi, founder of VoteRunLead (an organization that provides resources and guidance for women who wants to run for office) says that her organization has seen tremendous growth in the engagement of women. Vilardi cites the January 21st global women's marches as a catalyst for the growing number of women who expressed interest in running for office.

According to Vilardi, "the election was a shock to the system. The boon to the system was the women's march," Regarding president Trump, then I Vilardi said: ''If this guy can run for president with no qualification, then [these women] can definitely run for city council."

Melanie McEvoy, event coordinator for Eleanor's Legacy (helps fundraise for female candidates) says that "women are visibly upset about the current administration and the rollbacks we're already seeing and feeling on women's rights."

McEvoy sees "multiple opportunities for women to engage. Women come from [many] different perspectives, we prioritize things first that other people don't." Women of all different ethnicities, ages, and economic and social backgrounds have been seeking opportunities to affect change, ever since Trump was elected president.
