The Healthcare Fight and the Hyde Amendment

Last week, a months-long fight over healthcare policy climaxed in the House of Representatives. Seventeen members from Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-Louisiana 4th) side of the aisle voted with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York 8th) to advance his proposed Obamacare extension, breaking with their party and abandoning a bare-minimum commitment to the Hyde Amendment. The […]

What’s in Store for Congress in 2026

Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) celebrated huge wins that came out of Congress in 2025. From the first federal school choice provision, defunding the big abortion industry, increasing the Child Tax Credit, to the first federal ban on men in women’s sports (just to name a few), a lot of progress was […]

HHS Ends Taxpayer Funding of Sex-Rejecting Procedures

For far too long, the American medical industry has been captured by an ideology that says sex is interchangeable, that the temporary whims of a child should be affirmed by permanent surgical mutilation. But at last, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) announced that they are pulling the plug on these barbaric practices. For […]

Boy Wins Girl’s Irish Dance Competition for the Third Year in a Row

Boys are still stealing trophies from girls. On the racetrack, the volleyball court, and even on the dance stage. For the third year in a row, a female-identifying 15-year-old boy has won in his age category at a regional Irish Dance competition, rewarding him with the chance to compete as a girl at the Irish […]

Congress Bans Dangerous Hemp-Based Products

While America cheered that Congress finally funded the government, the funding bill included a less celebrated but far more significant victory – a ban on dangerous intoxicating hemp products. For years, seemingly harmless hemp products have been filling the shelves of gas stations, vape shops, and liquor stores. THC seltzer waters and soda, Hemp-laced gummies […]

Department of Education Begins Its “Final Mission”

When Linda McMahon was named Secretary of Education, her stated purpose was to work herself out of a job by shutting down the Department of Education (ED). The White House announced this week that she might be on the verge of doing just that. For decades, Concerned Women for America (CWA) has looked forward to […]

Schumer Shutdown Comes to an End

After over 43 days and 15 votes on the House-passed funding bill, the longest government shutdown in American history is finally over. Despite its record-breaking length, despite forcing thousands of federal workers to miss multiple paychecks, despite low-income families losing their SNAP benefits, despite thousands of flight cancellations and hours long TSA lines, the finale […]

Schumer Shutdown Update: What’s Happening with SNAP

As of November 1, government funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, officially ran out due to the continued government shutdown. As Democrats, led by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York), continue to refuse to vote to open the government, 42 million Americans are temporarily losing their SNAP benefits. Here is what is happening. […]

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 […]
