POTUS: OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE
Synopsis
One 4-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most will risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the Commander in Chief out of trouble.

IMPACT CAMPAIGN:
POTUS COALITION

INFORMATION:
In partnership with Level Forward, 1Community leveraged the influence of Broadway’s first all-women’s comedy to amplify the work of seven, non-partisan, women-led non-profit organizations. Each of these organizations is working for the advocacy, agency, and activism of women throughout all levels of leadership and in service of equal rights, representation, fair elections, and access to voter registration.

1Community also worked with the cast, playwright and POTUS Coalition members to place op-eds that connected the themes of the play to issues of the day, including abortion access, LGBTQ rights, and the importance of voting for women.
