Help Us Fight Back Against Efforts to Roll Back Gender Justice
Extremist judges will not stop endangering the lives of pregnant people or people who may become pregnant—overturning Roe v. Wade, attacking medication abortion, threatening the future of IVF, and this week at SCOTUS, emergency abortion care.
Our lawyers are waging strategic fights that make clear what is at stake for people who can become pregnant and seek to bolster our fundamental rights to control our lives, futures, and destinies.

The National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), joined by 39 other gender justice, sexual assault survivor, and civil rights organizations, submitted a comment strongly opposing the Virginia Department of Education’s 2022 model school rules. Where adopted, these proposed rules would require schools to engage in unlawful discrimination against transgender and nonbinary students. The letter emphasizes connections between rules that seek to punish LGBTQI+ youth for existing and the enforcement of sex stereotypes and body policing that harm all girls and women in school, especially trans girls, queer girls, and Black and brown girls.
