Welcome to the home of the Minnesota Women's Political Caucus!
The Minnesota Women’s Political Caucus (MWPC) is a grassroots, multi-partisan organization dedicated to increasing the number of women in elected and appointed office by identifying, recruiting, training and supporting pro-choice women candidates.
MWPC seeks to be an expert resource for women in Minnesota and women candidates supporting women’s issues. We strive to win equality for all women: to ensure reproductive freedom; to achieve quality dependent care; and to eradicate sexism, racism, ageism, ableism, violence, poverty, and discrimination on the basis of religion or sexual orientation. Our goal is equality and equal representation at all levels of government.
Related organizations include the MWPC Education Council dedicated to educating, engaging, and empowering women on policy issues and the political process; and the
MWPC Political Action Committee (PAC), which endorses candidates for public office at the state and legislative levels.
Since its founding in 1972, MWPC has historically been one of the strongest state chapters under the umbrella of the National Women’s Political Caucus (NWPC), which involves over 50,000 participants each year. NWPC has been a national leader in developing new and innovative strategies to accomplish our shared mission of increasing the number of pro-choice women in elected and appointed office regardless of party affiliation.
