You’ve heard the debates and discussions between U.S. senators! Come
listen to what Louisiana’s Democratic U.S. Senator has to say about
the challenges of the 2013 session…and the upcoming senatorial
election!
IWO has a long track record in the history of New Orleans’ political
organizations. In the late 1930s, women banded together and formed IWO
as a reform movement. The group was quite active on the political
scene in New Orleans for many decades. After Katrina, however, it
seemed that IWO would cease to exist. A handful of women intent on
bringing the organization back to life, met and laid the foundation
for the future of the group. Today, membership exceeds 180 women
working to further the goals of the Democratic Party.
