The 2023 19th Represents Summit is three days of impactful programming made possible by the support of our partners.

Note: Our sponsors play no role in the selection of our event participants or programming.

The 19th is an independent nonprofit newsroom reporting at the intersection of gender, politics and policy. We aim to empower women, people of color and the LGBTQ+ community with the information, community and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy. The 19th aims to level the playing field with:

Free-to-consume and free-to-republish journalism that reimagines politics and policy coverage through a gender lens

Deep-dive, evidence-based reporting that exposes gender inequity and injustice, and reveals surprising and original stories on the issues that most deeply affect our readers’ lives, from health care to the economy

A newsroom that reflects the nation’s diversity,  and is devoted to covering all people with empathy

A digital platform for civil conversations and community building, and national events that bring our readers into direct contact with their elected officials

The 19th aims to be a home for all people affected by the issues we cover. To that end, all members of our community are expected to observe our community guidelines when engaging on our website, newsletters, social channels, events or other platforms.
