What We’re Fighting For

• Representation in federal, state, and local elected offices
• Reproductive freedom including addressing structural barriers to abortion and birth control access, quality maternal care, and parenting supports
• Equal pay and fair wages including a livable minimum wage for people of color
• Fair-minded judges who understand how the law affects all Americans
• Paid family and medical leave provided by the FAMILY Act
• Survivors’ rights including school and workplace protections against sexual violence and harassment
• LGBTQ+ rights and other important protections provided by the Equality Act

What We’re Up Against

• Fair courts: The Right Wing wants to put more anti-gay and anti-choice jurists like Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch on the bench at every level to undermine Obergefell v. Hodges and overturn the Roe v. Wade decision.
• Public policy: Right-wing groups are fighting gender equity reforms and pushing radical legislation at the local, state, and federal levels.
• Economic equality: The Right’s agenda includes opposing essential economic advances like paid family and medical leave, quality child care that’s affordable, a livable minimum wage, and equal pay for equal work.
