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.

Why Aren’t Politicians Talking About This?
We all care about these issues. Let’s encourage leaders to care too.
The Hope Agenda encourages leaders to talk about and offer solutions on some of the most important issues that women, as well as Independents, Hispanics, and younger Americans, care deeply about and want addressed.
This first part of the Hope Agenda is focused on five core issues: requiring real healthcare prices upfront, protecting free speech, guaranteeing parents school transparency, ensuring safe borders, and protecting women’s spaces, safety, and opportunities.
The Hope Agenda includes five candidate commitments Americans can encourage candidates to sign to make sure they stand with us in advancing these policy solutions:
Patient Protection Commitment – supports true healthcare price transparency and affordability—implementation of which would drop our nation’s health care costs 40% and would benefit patients and businesses rather than private equity investors and the healthcare special interest groups.
Free Speech Commitment – promotes free speech and opposes cancel-culture and the psychological slavery it engenders.
Trust Through Transparency Commitment – commits to schools being transparent and pro-parent, returning schools to teaching academics and pathways to success, not ideology and victimhood.
Safe Borders Commitment – highlights the importance of securing borders to prevent economic, national security and public health issues in America, applying the same rules we have for entering the country via air to those coming by land.
Stand with Women Commitment – defines what a woman is and lets constituents know who is pro-woman, pro-science, and will fight for policies that prevent sex discrimination and preserve women’s rights, safety, and opportunities.
Help us share the Hope Agenda commitments on health care, safe borders, free speech, educational trust through transparency, and women’s rights will help elevate the importance of these policy issues to genuinely benefit women and all Americans.
