Women’s Voices Women. Vote congratulates Lifetime Networks for being nominated by the Association of Cable Communicators (ACC) for its Golden Beacon Award.  Lifetime received the nomination for its “Every Woman Counts” campaign, the entertainment industry’s only ongoing public advocacy campaign dedicated to amplifying women’s voices in the political process, encouraging them to register to vote, and to run for political office.

The Golden Beacon award is the ACC’s highest honor and recognizes a communications and public affairs campaign for making an impact on the cable industry and enhancing the image of cable television.

Women’s Voices Women Vote was proud to be a partner in the Every Woman Counts Coalition and applauds the ACC for recognizing Lifetime’s contributions toward inspiring women nationwide to make their voices heard in the 2008 elections.

“Lifetime is truly deserving of this nomination,” said Page Gardner, President of Women’s Voices Women Vote.   “Lifetime’s Every Woman Counts Coalition was an unprecedented effort to bring women into the political process and to make their voices heard in our democracy.  It was also a tremendous success, reaching out to millions of women across the United States.”
