Tell Congress: Support the Veterans’ Access Act (S. 275)

Veterans should never have to wait weeks for a medical appointment or drive hours to see a doctor. Yet too often, bureaucratic delays and red tape at the Veterans Health Administration (VA) keep veterans from the lifesaving care they need.

The Veterans’ Access Act (S. 275) cuts through those barriers. It strengthens the Veterans Community Care Program so veterans can see providers closer to home, get timely treatment, and receive care that fits their individual needs—including mental health services for those most at risk.

Our veterans fought for us. Now it’s our turn to protect them. Tell Congress to work together to pass the Veterans’ Access Act and give our American heroes the freedom and flexibility they’ve rightfully earned.

We need everyone to use their voices to make sure Congress supports the Veterans’ Access Act. Share this graphic to protect our veterans!

Protect Flexible Work Options in New Jersey

New Jersey’s Department of Labor is trying to push through harmful new rules that would make it harder for people to work as independent contractors. These rules copy California’s failed AB5 law, which destroyed livelihoods and stripped away flexibility from thousands of workers.

Independent contracting isn’t just a preference – it’s a lifeline for women, parents, caregivers, and anyone who needs flexibility to make work fit their lives. These proposed rules would devastate New Jersey workers and families.

Fortunately, lawmakers in Trenton are fighting back. Senator Declan O’Scanlon, Assemblywoman Vicky Flynn, and Assemblyman Gerry Scharfenberger have introduced a resolution pushing the Department to withdraw these rules. But they need to hear from you.

Tell your legislators to stand firm and protect independent contracting in New Jersey.

Say No to Mutilation: Abolish Medical Transition Abuse for Minors

THIS COMMENT DRIVE IS NOW COMPLETE. THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION RECEIVED AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE OF MORE THAN 12,000 PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE HARMS OF SO-CALLED “GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE” FOR MINORS. INDEPENDENT WOMEN ALONE MOBILIZED 2,000 CITIZENS—REPRESENTING 15% OF THE TOTAL. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP. READ MORE

Too many children have been told by medical professionals that they were born in the wrong body and mutilated under the banner of so-called “gender-affirming care.”

The truth? These children—and in many cases, their parents—have been lied to.

These barbaric drug and surgical regimens are not life savers for transgender-identifying children—they lead to life-long medical complications.

Testosterone leaves girls with vaginal atrophy and lacerations, clitoral enlargement, facial hair growth, vocal hoarseness, menstrual irregularity and suppression, as well as suppression of ovulation, which can lead to sterility.
Estrogen puts boys at higher risk for blood clots and sterility.
Surgeries like vaginoplasty—which surgically cut off the penis and create a gaping wound (“neovagina”) that is prone to infection—and double mastectomy are irreversible.

Thankfully, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is now investigating whether the pediatric gender medicine industry has deceived families by hiding risks and making false claims. As Independent Women ambassador Prisha Mosley, a detransitioner, told the FTC, “This is the greatest medical scandal of our lifetimes. Doctors are selling patients snake oil—no human can change sex.”

It’s well past time to call this so-called “gender-affirming care” out for what it actually is: a lie. Our most vulnerable Americans—our children—deserve better.

We have until September 26th at 11:59PM ET to weigh in. Use the form to easily submit a comment directly to the Federal Trade Commission and urge them to crack down on the mutilation of minors.

Stand for Worker Freedom and Support Portable Benefits

U.S. Congress is considering two key bills that could transform the future of independent work in America:

H.R. 1319—Protects the independent status of millions of freelancers
H.R. 1320—Clears the legal hurdles for companies to offer portable benefits to independent contractors.

Millions of people freelance today, including self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and gig workers. Women, in particular, depend on flexible work to balance earning incomes with important personal priorities like raising children, caring for aging parents, and managing their health issues.

Unfortunately, many independent workers lack access to affordable healthcare options and other benefits such as paid time off, disability, and retirement. Some policymakers seek to force independent workers to be reclassified as employees to gain benefits, the wrong approach.

Portable benefits are the right solution. They are attached to a worker instead of a specific employer. Independent contractors can secure the critical benefits without sacrificing their independent status or flexibility.

Send a message directly to your members of Congress encouraging them to support HR 1319 and HR 1320 to safeguard independent contracting and portable benefits.

We need everyone to use their voices to make sure Congress supports H.R. 1319 and H.R. 1320. Share the graphics to protect flexible work and expand access to portable benefits! Independent work is essential, especially for women. Let’s get this done for freelancers, gig workers, and caregivers across the country!

Tell the Department of Labor to Expand In-Home Care

THIS COMMENT DRIVE IS NOW COMPLETE. INDEPENDENT WOMEN MEMBERS SENT OVER 1,500 UNIQUE COMMENTS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP. READ MORE

Speak Up Before Sept. 2 at 11:59 PM ET

Too many families are struggling to find affordable in-home care for aging loved ones. Outdated federal regulations—specifically the 2013 Home Care Rule—have made it more difficult (and more expensive), if not impossible, for seniors to get the care they need at home.

This rule removed a key exemption in federal labor law, forcing most in-home caregivers into rigid overtime requirements. That means:

Families can’t secure the kind of care their loved ones need
Aging Americans are pushed into institutions, under-the-table arrangements, or left attempting to provide the care themselves

But there is hope.

The Trump administration’s Department of Labor has proposed a new rule to reverse the 2013 changes and help make in-home care more affordable and accessible for seniors.

If finalized, this Trump rule would:

Reinstate the pre-2013 definition of companionship services, allowing many in-home caregivers, including those employed through third-parties, to qualify for an exemption from overtime requirements once again.
Make in-home care more accessible and affordable again, so more families could find the help they need in the comfort of their own homes.
Give families and workers more freedom and flexibility.

Now is the time to speak up: We have until September 2 at 11:59PM ET to weigh in.

Use the form to easily submit a comment directly to the Department of Labor and urge them to move forward with this important rule.

Victory! Protect Women’s Privacy: Urge Your NC Legislator to Vote YES on HB 805 Veto Override

On July 29th, in a powerful rebuke to the gender ideology lunacy that has threatened the protection of North Carolina women and girls, the North Carolina General Assembly voted to override Gov. Stein’s veto of HB 805. Thank you, North Carolinians for speaking up. Your Voice Mattered!

The North Carolina State Legislature passed House Bill 805, legislation that provides legal definitions to sex-based words, such as “man” and “woman”.

Governor Stein vetoed the common-sense bill, refusing to define these basic terms like ‘female’. Without these definitions, girls’ private spaces in North Carolina: locker rooms, prisons, domestic violence shelters, and sororities are left vulnerable to redefinition by judges or unelected bureaucrats.

HB 805 simply ensures that the word ‘woman’ means what it always has – protecting privacy, opportunity, and fairness for over 5 million women and girls in North Carolina.

Tell your legislators: Stand with women and override the veto. Vote YES on HB 805!

We need everyone to use their voices to make sure legislators vote YES on the HB 805 veto override. Share the graphics below to ensure HB 805 becomes law! Defining “woman” is necessary and common sense. Let’s get this done for NC women & girls!
