Fighting for gender justice in the courts, in public policy, and in our society.
Justice for her. Justice for all.

John, who gets to decide what happens to our bodies, our families, and our communities?
We do.
But Donald Trump thinks otherwise. And with the help of his extremist political appointees, ultraconservative lawmakers in Congress, and his billionaire friends, he's waging an all-out assault on everyday people like you and me—attempting to control our rights, our freedoms, and our futures.
We cannot let it happen. Not on our watch. The National Women's Law Center is fighting back from the highest courts to the halls of Congress, but this work depends on the support of people like you. You can fuel the fight by renewing your membership in NWLC's community of supporters—for a limited time, all gifts up to $200,000 will go 2X as far! [[link removed]]
This year, a small group of dangerous, unqualified politicians and billionaires, led by Donald Trump, has relentlessly attacked our right to health care and access to abortion. They've given themselves massive tax breaks, while slashing the programs that help families afford groceries and heating bills. They've gone after us, our friends, and our neighbors—immigrants, LGBTQIA+ kids, and people of color—stripping away the basic freedoms our democracy was built on.
But I can promise you, they won't win—not if we're in this fight together. In the past year alone, NWLC supporters like you have helped drive powerful opposition to this administration and its allies, including:
* Advocacy: We drove nearly 10,000 actions to Congress expressing concern about Matt Gaetz's nomination to U.S. Attorney General, resulting in the withdrawal of his nomination. And we convened a forceful coalition of more than 80 organizations in opposition to David Weldon, Trump's anti-abortion pick to lead the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)—another nomination that failed thanks to public pressure.

* Litigation: Since January we've sued to protect access to emergency abortion care, defend Title IX protections for students facing sexual harassment and assault on campus, protect programs supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, defend women and diversity initiatives in the workplace, and more. Double your impact for 2026 >> [[link removed]]
* Communication: We launched a hard-hitting campaign to shine a light on the dangers of Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" and detail how conservative leaders put their rich buddies first at the expense of the women and families who rely on critical programs like Medicaid and SNAP. And we received national news coverage when our President Fatima Goss Graves testified before Congress and laid bare the government's attempts to demonize transgender people for political points.

At NWLC, we are committed to building a future where everyone can live safely, fully, and with dignity. That's what we're working for every single day, in the courts, in the halls of Congress, and in communities across the country, and I know we aren't alone.
This work is only possible because people like you are fighting right there with us. Your support powers the lawyers, advocates, and researchers working tirelessly to protect our freedoms and defend our fundamental rights. Make your matched membership gift today. [[link removed]]
