emily's list

EMILY's List is a political action committee (PAC) existing in the United States and in Australia for female candidates. It was founded by Ellen Malcolm in the 1980s. The goal of EMILY's List is to raise money for female candidates who are Pro-Choice with respect to abortion rights and are members of the United States Democratic Party or the Australian Labor Party. The name EMILY's List is an acronym for "Early Money Is Like Yeast," from the common political saying, "Early money is like yeast, because it makes the dough rise." The saying is a reference to a convention of political fundraising: That receiving lots of donations early in a race is the most helpful time to get them, since they scare off challengers and help attract other, later donors. Joan Kirner, an Australian Labor Party leader, established an affiliate in 1994 with the aim to see 45% female membership in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
