Dear John,

On the first day of his second administration, President Trump signed an executive order claiming to "defend women."

Here's what he and his cabal of extremist politicians and billionaire buddies have done instead: Blocked access to critical abortion care. Rolled back the protections that help women join the workforce. Stripped the support that protected women and girls from harassment at school. Attacked transgender students and threatened their rights. Disrupted funding to rape crisis centers, leaving millions of women without care. Proposed massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits, programs that families rely on to stay healthy and put food on the table.

The attacks have been relentless—but every single time Trump goes after our rights, he finds NWLC in the way. Your support is crucial to help fund our work fighting back in the courts and the halls of Congress. For a limited time, every $1 you pitch in will be matched to DOUBLE your impact.

Right now, a tiny group of dangerous politicians believes they deserve the right to control our bodies, our lives, and our futures. They think they can steamroll us, crush us before we can fight back. They think that a nonstop deluge of attacks will make us afraid, or hopeless.

But I know, and you know: they're wrong.

Thanks to the support of people like you, the National Women's Law Center has been at the forefront of every major gender justice fight for the last 50 years. This year alone, NWLC had cases in the courts to protect access to emergency abortion care, defend the rights of pregnant workers, restore the protections of Title IX, and so much more.

Every new lawsuit draws a line in the sand for our rights—we won't go back. We will keep working to protect and build a just, equitable future for ALL. Help make sure we have the resources to keep fighting back in 2026, no matter what, with your matched renewal gift right now.

I have so much hope for the future, and it's because of people like you. We don't have to live in the world Trump and his allies want to make—and if we work together to stop them now, we won't. Thank you for all you do to support the fight for gender justice.

With gratitude,
