From the National Women's Law Center:
"...Every victory we win, every harm that we prevent, takes us one step closer to a more just, equitable future for all.”—Fatima Goss Graves, NWLC President and CEO

In the first month of the Trump-Vance administration, NWLC has been vocal in calling on those in power to be accountable to their constituents and the rule of law, and fight back against threats to women, LGBTQ+ people, and working families. We've spoken out against the nominations of people who will hinder gender justice efforts, and along with Public Citizen, we sent an open letter to Congress
nwlc.org/press-release/nwlc-pu
calling on them to use their oversight powers to challenge DOGE’s lawless takeover of the federal government and attacks on federal workers and agencies that provide vital services to the public."

People with a 3rd grade understanding of biology should not be making laws about people's gender & sexual orientation.

People who think bronze age fairy tales are an accurate description of how the world works should absolutely not be making laws about people's gender & sexual orientation.

Hating & persecuting people b/c of scientifically false fairy tales is deranged.

Kentucky moved to violate prisoner's rights to freedom of religious practice and their civil rights to appropriate medical care by forcing them to de-transition in obedience to one whackadoodle cult's beliefs.

It's a violation of their basic human rights.

Since many people in prison are awaiting trial and are not yet (or ever) found guilty of anything, it's a gross assault on their dignity & freedom.

From Planned Parenthood:
Love is great — we LOVE love. But you know what we also love? Righteous anger. Resistance.

There are politicians in power who want to further dismantle reproductive rights and care. President Trump, Vice President Vance, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and other anti-abortion rights lawmakers are hell-bent on banning abortion nationwide, gender-affirming care, and other health care people need and deserve.

Let it be known that they're the reason you support Planned Parenthood Action Fund and fight for reproductive rights!

With love (and rage)❤️,
Planned Parenthood Action Fund

This event is free and open to the public. “America in Crisis: Navigating the Dark Road Ahead” is produced in partnership with The New Republic, the Rachel Carson Council and Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

From AU:
We are mobilizing like never before. Here’s what you can expect from us in the coming weeks:

Suing Christian Nationalists:
Expect to see AU in court. We’re expecting hundreds of new rules & executive orders and our lawyers will be reviewing them all.

Week of Action Against the Nationwide Vouchers:
This is a direct assault on public education and religious freedom. Our teams are preparing to mobilize opposition and fight this dangerous proposal.

Pushing Back in the States:
As state legislatures kick off their sessions, we’re watching closely. State-level attacks on the separation of church and state are often where the worst damage begins and then is replicated across the country.

This is a fight like we've never seen before in our country and we need you with us.

It's time to speak out.

Our country is facing a growing threat from Christian nationalist policies that undermine the principles of secular governance. The separation of church and state is a cornerstone of American democracy, and it has never been more at risk.

True religious freedom is only possible when the separation of church and state is protected. Will you join us in defending these principles? At our Secular Lobby Day on March 10th-11th, we'll meet on Capitol Hill to advocate for critical issues that impact the secular community.

Check out our Lobby Day page for more details: https://lobbyday.us

For folks upset by the encroachment of religion into government: Check out Freedom From Religion Foundation, or FFRF. Become a member, or get involved.

It’s a small nonprofit that is constantly challenging encroachments of separation of church and state.

Their newsletter is always a welcomed read where, among other things they highlight their various successes. Here’s a sample.
