On May 6, 2026, Senator Donna Dasko, one of Equal Voice's founding members, rose in the Senate of Canada to mark a milestone 25 years in the making. 

Equal Voice was founded in 2001 by approximately 50 trailblazing women from across the political spectrum who agreed on one clear and urgent purpose: elect more women to all levels of political office in Canada. A quarter century later, we are celebrating what that conviction built, and recommitting to the work still ahead.
