WASHINGTON — Three of the nation’s most influential activists are launching an organization that aims to harness the political power of women to influence elections and shape local and national policy priorities. The group, which describes itself as multiracial and intergenerational, has a goal of training and mobilizing 2 million women over the next year to become organizers and political leaders in their communities. The effort comes at a moment when women have emerged as perhaps the most powerful force in politics. A record number of women are also seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, including four senators. “Women are mad as hell and we’ve been in resistance mode for two years,” Garza said.
