The Women's Voices. Women Vote Action Fund informs and mobilizes unmarried women to participate in our government and make their voices heard in our democracy. Unmarried women - single, separated, divorced or widowed - make up 26 percent of all voting age Americans. They are 53 million strong, yet they participate and vote less often than their married sisters.

The Action Fund is dedicated to encouraging unmarried women to bring their voices to our nation's political conversation and to advocate for policies important to them. The Action Fund seeks to empower women on their own with the facts they need to make their own informed choices about ballot measures, candidates and issues.

The Action Fund is a leader in advocating for issues important to unmarried women. Through research driven and results affirmed programs, the Action Fund effectively increases the presence of women on their own at the polls and in our democracy.

Women's Voices Women Vote Action Fund is a non partisan tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Support a Jobs and Recovery Plan

All Americans are feeling profound stress of the economic crisis in our country, and unmarried women are especially hard-hit. Women on their own are supporting themselves and often their children on earnings that are only 56 cents to the dollar of what a married man makes. And the new unemployment figures show that unmarried women are as twice as likely to be unemployed compared to married women.

You can do your part to help ensure a jobs and recovery plan are set in place to come to the aid of all Americans. Write a letter to your local paper in support of a plan for Jobs and Economic Recovery!

You can also contact your legislator and tell them to support a Jobs and Economic Recovery plan and to provide resources to prevent states from cutting critical services which our citizens depend upon.

EXIT POLLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY REVEAL AN OVERWHELMING MARRIAGE GAP! 70 PERCENT OF UNMARRIED WOMEN SUPPORTED OBAMA

Unmarried women with children voted 74 to 25 in favor of Obama. Unmarried women without children also voted 69 to 31 in favor of Obama (according to CNN exit poll this morning). While unmarried women gave Obama a margin of victory of more than 12 million votes, married women supported McCain by a narrow margin.

Thanks to you we have shown that we are a decisive political force, voting in larger numbers than ever before. Unmarried women's margin for Obama is at least 5 million votes more than John Kerry's margin over Bush four years ago.

UNMARRIED WOMEN ARE NOW THE PROGRESSIVE MAJORITY, WE PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN MANY PROGRESSIVE VICTORIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY!

Not only were unmarried women huge in terms of the presidential margin, they provided an even greater margin for Democratic House candidates this year than they did in the wave election of 2006.

All of our efforts paid off, but this is just the beginning. The opportunities for unmarried women are boundless and we now have much more to accomplish.

Thank you for all of your efforts and support, encouraging women on their own to make their voices heard. Together we have strengthened our democracy!
