Senate Hearing Highlights Urgent Problem of Left-Wing Political Violence
“It’s a both sides problem, and both sides need to tone down the rhetoric.” That’s the mantra we have heard repeatedly after each violent political attack over the last 15 months. And yet, it seems as if a disproportionate number of these attacks are inspired by left-wing political rhetoric. Without acknowledging the source of this […]
Shutdown Update: The RIFs Have Begun
It’s now day 21 of the Schumer shutdown with no sign of the two sides reaching an agreement. As the situation drags on, the White House is looking for ways to ensure that critical programs are still funded and operational. One way is to cut the jobs and agencies that are unnecessary government bloat. Last […]
The Shutdown Continues
At midnight on October 1, the government shut down for the first time in seven years. As Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) reported last week, the disagreement lies in the Republicans’ desire to keep funding levels as they are for the time being (which is high already), whereas Democrats want to increase […]
CWA / YWA at the Texas Youth Summit
The future of America rests in the hearts and minds of the next generation. That’s why organizations like our own Young Women for America (YWA) and others exist to equip students to advocate for Christian truths and conservative policies. It was also the mission of Charlie Kirk, and that fact weighed heavily on us as […]
Will Chuck Schumer Shutdown the Government?
Once again, it’s the twelfth hour before government funding runs out, and it is unclear what Congress will do. Will they pass a spending bill in time? Or will they instead trigger a government shutdown, beginning on October 1? Let’s dive into what we know about the current state of play. Just before leaving D.C. […]
Senate Hearing Reveals Meta Buried Research into Online Child Abuse
It has been over a year since Mark Zuckerburg stood in front of a room full of grieving parents and apologized for the many children who have been irreversibly harmed by his online platforms. On that day, he promised to make things right, to protect future users from exploitation. But in a Senate hearing last […]
Marijuana Should Remain a Schedule I Drug
Just because “everyone is doing it,” doesn’t make it good. No better substance exemplifies that sentiment in the present age than marijuana. Some states have, unfortunately, gone down this path – from the ever-present stench of weed wafting through city streets to the fact that daily cannabis use has surpassed that of alcohol, marijuana is […]
Wielding Executive Power to Stamp Out Ivy League Antisemitism
There is a difference between exposing students to different ideas and actively promoting ones that are contrary to American values. It is about time that the White House used its executive power to make that delineation clear and ensure American colleges remain focused on education rather than indoctrination. Concerned Women for America (CWA) applauds the […]
Nation’s Largest Teacher’s Union Doubles Down on Promoting Antisemitism
This month, the nation’s largest teacher union proved, yet again, the need to reform the public education system. One of the most troubling developments since the barbaric October 7th terror attack has been the explosion of antisemitism on college campuses. The administration has rightfully gone after these schools, forcing Columbia and Harvard to amend their […]
Congress Moves To End Taxpayer Funded Gender Ideology
Gender ideology has been a pervasive problem in the school system for years. Now Congress is acting to stop it. Gender ideology is a broad term that covers a variety of age-inappropriate and radical topics. Last year, the Heritage Foundation conducted a comprehensive review of materials within public schools that promote this ideology. The review […]
Supporting Israel with a Clear Conscience and Sound Mind
When political commentator Candace Owens called Israel “demonic” for striking Iran’s nuclear facilities, most conservative Christians were shocked. But Owens is merely the loudest among a growing coterie of conservative voices turning on the people of Israel at this crucial moment in history. At a time when antisemitism is growing in America, the world needs […]
Senate Passes One Big Beautiful Bill Act
After a marathon 26-hour “vote-a-rama,” the Senate has passed the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB). Despite a number of changes to the bill, this bill is still a win for the American people, for families, and for protecting innocent children. While Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) has been tracking and advocating for […]
Senate Committee Unanimously Advances Bill to Stop Online Child Exploitation
Earlier this month, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced a bi-partisan bill aimed at curbing online child exploitation by cracking down on the proliferation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). According to the FBI, CSAM is defined as any sexually explicit material involving anyone under the age of 18, including images, videos, and any other content […]
June Declared “Life Month”
For the past several years, June has been synonymous with rainbow flags, X-rated parades, and the celebration of immorality. But as the third anniversary of the landmark Dobbs decision approaches, there’s an effort to replace June’s current status as “Pride Month” to “Life Month.” On June 24, 2022, the day that pro-life advocates had prayed […]
Congress Says “No More” to Chinese Interference on College Campuses
When it comes to national sovereignty, the focus is, rightfully, on the nation’s southern border, which had been woefully unprotected in the years before President Donald Trump returned to the White House. But just as critical is the foreign influence undermining America’s universities, particularly that of China. For years, China has embedded itself on college […]
Senate Blocks FCC from Increasing Social Media Access on School Buses
Instead of developing a plan to address America’s failing schools and the years of COVID-induced learning loss, the Biden administration passed a last-minute rule to expand access to harmful social media sites on school property. The Senate just voted to halt that. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) partly funds high-speed internet access to school classrooms […]
House Committee Takes Steps Forward for Families, School Choice
After a marathon 18-hour markup session, the House Ways and Means Committee finally passed their portion of text for the “one big, beautiful” reconciliation bill. The text, which passed by a vote margin of 26-19, includes significant conservative policy goal victories. The next step will be for the Senate to preserve and build upon those […]
100 Days of Promises Made, Promises Kept
Donald Trump was the very first presidential candidate to sign Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee’s (CWALAC) Presidential Promise to American Women. This week, we’re celebrating 100 days of now-President Trump fulfilling that promise. One of the most iconic images from the past few months happened on February 5, when President Trump, surrounded by […]
Helping Moms, Supporting Life
Thousands of pro-life centers and clinics stand ready to help moms in crisis. The problem is that most vulnerable women are not aware of them. Congress can change that. For every one Planned Parenthood clinic, there are dozens of pregnancy resource centers and clinics ready to help new moms. But while these life-affirming centers outnumber […]
Stomping Out Antisemitism in Education
At 2:00 a.m. on the morning following Passover, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) was jolted awake by the smell of burning wood and sirens. His wife and four children, as well as another family who had been visiting for the Jewish holiday, were rushed to safety while firefighters put out the flames that were ravaging […]
