They told us they wouldn’t enact a federal abortion ban. Yet, here we are. H.R.722 seeks to grant embryos legal protections under the 14th Amendment—effectively criminalizing abortion nationwide. H.R.629 takes it even further, aiming to prohibit contraception altogether.
But the attacks on women don’t stop there.
Millions of women could lose their right to vote if Congress passes the SAVE Act, which could block 30% of women from casting their ballots. This is a direct assault on our democracy and an effort to suppress our right to vote.
The war extends into science and education. Thousands of active research projects are under scrutiny, with federal agencies combing through studies for language that violates President Trump’s executive orders—orders that erase gender recognition and roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Even the words “female” and “women” are being flagged. This is not just censorship; but an attempt to erase entire communities from public recognition.
In the military, we are seeing a complete roll back on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) programs, jeopardizing the safety and well-being of service members. In the public sector, President Trump has issued an executive order banning transgender women from female sports and has vowed to deny visas to transgender Olympic athletes competing at the LA 2028 Games. The Trump administration also banned transgender people from military enlistment and gender-affirming care for young people.
All of these actions go against the 28th Amendment. Yet government officials and anti-equality actors in positions of power will go to extreme lengths to bypass the Constitution. These same people refuse to acknowledge the will of 78% of people in the U.S. who support the Equal Rights Amendment, denying our right to be free from discrimination and taking us backward instead of moving us forward toward gender equality.
Our fight for gender equality demands leadership that values and upholds our constitutional rights. We need to elect leaders who will not only defend our rights but actively work to advance policies that promote true equality. The only way to stop this war on women is to hold those in power accountable and vote out those who seek to strip us of our freedoms.
On April 1st, Florida will hold special elections to fill two congressional seats. This is a critical opportunity to elect leaders who will advance gender justice and protect fundamental rights.
Support local organizations working on voter outreach, education, and mobilization to make a difference in this election. Grassroots efforts in Florida are leading the charge to engage voters, especially women and young people, to turn out and vote for candidates who support equality.
Join us in the fight. Speak out, organize, and mobilize. Every action counts—from raising awareness in your community to preparing yourself to cast your ballot in every election. Our rights depend on it, and together, we can turn the tide toward justice and equality.
