As an NCAA champion, 12x All-American competitive swimmer from the University of Kentucky, and women’s rights advocate, Riley has earned a reputation for having grit and determination. Her bold stance on protecting the integrity of women’s athletics and private locker rooms continues to make waves across the country!
Riley received national attention when she was outspoken about University of Pennsylvania swimmer Will “Lia” Thomas, a biological man, competing against her as a female. Will Thomas won the female Division I national championship, stripping talented and hardworking women like Riley Gaines of their rightful place in female sports.
Riley’s commitment to ensuring fairness in competition and standing up for what’s right perfectly aligns with Turning Point USA’s mission to promote free speech and acknowledging biological truth. She’s not just an athlete—with a combined following of 2.1 million followers, she’s a leader inspiring Generation Z to boldly use their voice even when the loud minority aims to censor and erase!
As a Turning Point USA Contributor, Riley will be seen on campus encouraging students to engage in the culture war, speaking at National Events, and propelling the conversation forward on social media. You can support Riley by following her on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter.
We also encourage you to join us in celebrating Riley Gaines and all the real women making a difference in the culture war by making a donation of any amount to Turning Point USA 501(c)(3). In return, we’ll send you a FREE t-shirt!
