Hostile Foreign Nations Are Influencing American Universities; Greater Transparency Is Needed
American universities are supposed to be the exemplar of what makes this country great. And yet malign foreign influence has been eroding the integrity of American higher education for years. Rather than turning out scholars and patriots, universities have become bastions of anti-American sentiment, woke academia, and treasure troves of sensitive information for nations that […]
Democrats Elevate LGBTQ Flag While Refusing to Fund the Government
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been shut down for almost two weeks after Congress failed to pass a funding bill before the February 13 deadline. But instead of trying to reach a deal with their Republican colleagues, Senate Democrats have a different priority – granting the LGBTQ rainbow flag the same Congressionally recognized […]
No, Requiring Voter ID is Not Sexist
There are two similar bills causing the controversy du jour on Capitol Hill – the SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act. Both would better protect the integrity of elections in the U.S. by ensuring voter ID and requiring proof of citizenship. But opponents are arguing that, among other claims, these bills are sexist and […]
Congress Passed School Choice; Now It’s Up to the States to Implement It
For many families, finances are the primary obstacle to escaping the public school system. Private schools are expensive; homeschooling usually requires one parent to stay at home part or full-time. Even extracurricular activities or tutoring require some kind of sacrifice. The result is that the number of families who desire school choice far outstrip those […]
Senate Hearing on Chemical Abortion Turns Into Basic Biology Lesson
It is impossible to care about women and their health if you cannot define what a woman is. That simple truth was put on full display at a recent Senate hearing aimed at exposing the dangers of chemical abortion. As the pro-life witnesses shared the threats that the unregulated chemical abortion pill poses to women’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
