Incredible Victory for Fairness and Equality: Maud Maron is Restored to Her Elected School Board Seat

Back in June, Independent Women joined a coalition of ideologically diverse national women’s organizations to stand behind Manhattan Mom and former Democratic candidate for office Maud Maron after she was abruptly banished from her elected position on New York City’s Community Education Council for District 2 (CEC 2)—the city’s largest parent council. 

Independent Women’s Network launched an action center called Mayor Eric Adams, Stand For Fairness And Equality, urging New Yorkers to tell Mayor Adams to reinstate Maud Maron to her elected school board seat. 

Over 3,000 letters were sent through IWN’s action center. In a huge win for fairness and equality, Maud has been restored to her elected school board seat.

Maud knows what a woman is and has been a vocal advocate for protections for women, including prohibiting male athletes from participating in women’s sports. She has also been an unwavering advocate for high-quality education and parents’ rights in New York City. Her reinstatement is a huge win for fairness and equality as well as parents’ rights and free speech.     

Maud’s reinstatement is a big win for New Yorkers.

Questions Women Want Answered

For her first interview since President Biden withdrew from the race over five weeks ago, Kamala Harris will sit down with CNN’s Dana Bash. The interview will be taped and air at 9pm ET on August 29.

There are a slew of questions that women have for Harris about her record, stance on issues, recent flip-flopping on top concerns facing the country, and more. So we thought we’d help CNN out and compile them in one place.

You can help spread the word by posting the below graphics on social media.

QUESTIONS FOR KAMALA

Download these images and use on your own social media platforms. We’ve also curated post copy for you to use as well.

  1. Why do you think it’s fair to allow men to compete in women’s sports? You’ve forced girls to be around men’s bodies in locker rooms and bathrooms. Why should women give up their innate need for single-sex spaces?
  2. You have supported California policies that permit convicted men to self-select into women’s prisons—and your administration pays for their hormones and ‘gender reassignment’ surgeries. Why should these surgeries be funded over other Americans’ needs?
  3. Why do you believe that doctors should be allowed to cut the healthy breasts off of a 16 year old girl?
  4. Students are stuck in failing public schools, why do you oppose policies that allow kids the freedom to choose a new school that works for them and their families?
  5. You support student loan forgiveness paid for by the majority of Americans who do not have a four-year degree. Would you support taxing university endowments of billions of dollars to pay for loan forgiveness instead?
  6. Your administration has restricted independent contracting and forced gig workers into 9-to-5 jobs. Why do this to women who want and need flexibility?
  7. You have had four years to address the crisis at the border and have called efforts to build a wall “un-American” and a “vanity project.” You have said that America doesn’t need a “multibillion-dollar wall” and that a wall “ain’t gonna stop them.” So why now do you say you want a strong, orderly border with a wall?
  8. Why do you want national rent control when so many U.S. cities have tried it, seen its failures, and banned rent control?
  9. You said you want to ban fracking; now you say you don’t. Why should we trust what you say now?
  10. Why did you push Meta to censor regular Americans?
