The DNC will require female moderators at every 2020 presidential debate
Women–especially Black women–are voting, organizing, and running for office in record numbers, and it’s time that we ask the debate questions.

UltraViolet Action asked 2020 Democratic presidential candidates to sign an #AskForWomen pledge to demand that every DNC debate have at least one woman moderator. Shortly after the pledge secured the support of a number of prominent candidates, the DNC made its groundbreaking announcement.
