Tell Democrat Leaders to End the Shutdown

THIS CONTACT DRIVE IS NOW COMPLETE. INDEPENDENT WOMEN MEMBERS SENT HUNDREDS OF UNIQUE MESSAGE TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS URGING THEM TO REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT AND PUT AMERICANS FIRST. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP. 

The government remains shut down again, with no end in sight.

Washington gridlock has real consequences. The Department of Homeland Security remains shut down, and Democrat leaders in Washington are refusing to move a clean funding bill to reopen it. 

This is now the longest government shutdown in U.S. history—and Americans are paying the price.

Nearly 50,000 TSA officers and over 100,000 DHS personnel were forced to work through financial uncertainty while continuing to protect the country. These are not abstract policy debates. These are real families who missed paychecks while doing their jobs.

President Trump has taken action to ensure TSA workers receive back pay using existing funds. That provides short-term relief—but it does not solve the problem.

Only Congress can reopen the government.

And right now, Democratic leaders are choosing political leverage over stability, security, and the wellbeing of American workers.

This shutdown is putting real pressure on:

  • Airport security and travel reliability
  • Border enforcement and public safety operations
  • Families who depend on steady federal paychecks
  • Communities that rely on consistent law enforcement

Public safety should never be used as a bargaining chip.

Contact Democrat Leaders and tell them:

401(k) Freedom: Open Private Investment for Everyday Workers

THIS COMMENT DRIVE IS NOW COMPLETE. INDEPENDENT WOMEN MEMBERS SENT 579 UNIQUE COMMENTS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP. 

For decades, the best wealth-building investments were reserved for Wall Street insiders and political elites—while hardworking Americans were locked out.

President Trump’s proposed 401(k) rule puts Main Street first.

This reform expands access to private credit, infrastructure, and real estate investments through 401(k) retirement plans, giving everyday Americans the same tools long enjoyed by elites and government pension funds to grow their savings and secure their future.

Today, most private-sector workers rely on a 401(k)—a tax-advantaged, employer-matched account meant to reward long-term saving. But outdated regulations and fear of lawsuits have limited investment options, holding workers back and reducing long-term growth.

This 401(k) proposal restores fairness by:

  • Opening access to private markets
  • Giving Main Street workers the same opportunities as institutional investors and public sector workers
  • Strengthening retirement security through diversification and long-term growth
  • Letting Americans—not Washington—decide how to invest their own money

Use the form below to submit a comment directly to the Department of Labor urging them to move forward with this important reform and protect financial freedom for working Americans.

Personal messages make the biggest impact. You can customize your comment or use one of our templates—it only takes a minute to stand up for your retirement, your wealth, and your future.

End the Healthcare Black Box

THIS COMMENT DRIVE IS NOW COMPLETE. INDEPENDENT WOMEN MEMBERS SENT HUNDREDS OF UNIQUE COMMENTS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP. 

Americans are paying more for health care every year, yet much of the system that determines healthcare costs operates behind closed doors.

One of the least transparent parts of that system involves Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). These companies negotiate drug prices and manage prescription benefits for employer health plans. PBMs often receive payments such as rebates, administrative fees, and other forms of compensation tied to prescription drugs.

In many cases, the employers paying for health plans do not have clear visibility into those payments or how they affect the cost of care.

The Department of Labor has proposed a rule requiring PBMs to disclose their compensation to the employer and union health plans they serve.

This is an important step. Greater transparency would help employers and plan sponsors better understand where healthcare dollars are going and evaluate whether fees being charged are reasonable.

Employer health plans cover millions of workers and families, and the organizations managing those plans have a responsibility to protect the healthcare dollars workers contribute. Other service providers—such as insurers and third-party administrators—also receive compensation and control important pricing and claims data within employer health plans.

To properly protect workers and their families, employers responsible for these plans need full transparency across the system and access to the data necessary to evaluate costs and negotiate fair contracts.

Stronger transparency requirements will help ensure healthcare dollars are being used responsibly and can help employers improve benefits and manage rising healthcare costs.

Stand with New Hampshire Women and Girls

New Hampshire has the opportunity to stand clearly and courageously for women and girls. 

SB 552 and HB 1442 are common-sense, pro-woman bills that help protect privacy, safety, fairness, and equal opportunities by recognizing the importance of biological sex in law and policy. SB 552 and HB 1442 protect female spaces and opportunities. 

New Hampshire bills SB 552 and HB 1442 simply reaffirm a common-sense principle: women and girls should not be forced to give up their privacy to men in female spaces. These bills provide clear, enforceable protections for women and girls while respecting the rights of all New Hampshire residents. 

Now is the time to speak up. Urge Governor Ayotte to sign SB 552 and HB 1442 into law and stand with New Hampshire women and girls. Demonstrate your support for leaders who will fight to protect women’s rights, safety, and opportunities in the Granite State.

New Hampshirites must: 

Say yes to saving women’s sports;

Say yes to fighting for women’s rights, spaces, and opportunities;  

Say yes to commonsense and pro-woman policies

Say yes to defining sex-based words…

Opponents of these bills have been extremely vocal. Now it’s time to SHOW YOUR SUPPORT! Please contact Governor Ayotte today expressing your support for SB 552 and HB1442.

Raise awareness of the importance of this legislation by downloading these shareable graphics (available HERE). Spread the word and share with your social networks through op-eds, letters to the editors, emails, social media posts, and personal conversations. 

Suggested Copy: New Hampshire should preserve women’s rights, safety, and opportunities. I urge Governor Ayotte to implement pro-woman, protect biological reality policies, and fight to prevent sex discrimination. SB 552 and HB1442 needs to be signed into law.  #StandWithNHWomen

Eliminate Missouri State Income Tax

Missouri has a progressive income tax with a top rate of 4.7%. The state is in competition with Tennessee, which has no state income tax. Eliminating the income tax will help Missouri families, bring investment and people to the state, and can be done gradually to ensure the state has the revenue it needs. 

HJR 165 proposes a constitutional amendment to be brought before Missouri voters to reduce and eliminate the state income tax by allowing for increases in state and local sales and use taxes. 

Women and families especially benefit from income tax elimination. Right now, as women’s earnings increase, so does their tax burden. Missouri has already phased out the capital gains tax in 2025, helping families keep more of their hard-earned money. Eliminating the income tax will incentivize hard work and reward those entrepreneurs who want to build more and innovate in their state.

Three out of the four top growth states in 2025, according to the U-Haul Growth Index, are income tax-free. The evidence is clear: eliminating income tax spurs growth. Now is the time to make Missouri competitive and save taxpayer dollars. 

You deserve to keep your income. 

Send a message directly to your state Senators and Representatives in support of HJR 165 and eliminating the Missouri state income tax.

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!
