Join us for an evening filled with INSPIRATION, CELEBRATION, and ACTIVATION.
Smash the Glass with The Matriots celebrates the hard work of so many across Ohio in advancing women candidates and voters. We know the glass ceiling remains. Smash the Glass will prepare attendees for what women need to continue our collective movement toward equal representation in Ohio.
This event benefits The Matriots Education Fund and money raised will be used to demystify the political arena, its systems, processes, and roles, so that women understand – and leverage – the power of their participation.
