Action Alerts

While attempting to provide for parents' rights and a broad range of beliefs, H.4757 creates considerable additional work for teachers and districts and fails to acknowledge school efforts already in place to resolve possible concerns. Existing laws, regulations, policies and procedures already address the provisions of this bill. Contact your State Senator to vote NO.

Research & Studies

The LWVSC Working Group on Gender and Women’s Equity summarized the WREN (Women’s Rights and Empowerment Network) 2025 study.
