Overview
The WCF Difference
- We are nonpartisan
- We serve a broad audience of voters, activists, policy makers, donors and candidates
- We engineer new, cutting-edge, Web-based programs to tackle age-old challenges facing women candidates
- We offer venture support to women in the earliest days of their political campaigns and careers
While women have made significant strides in all walks of public life, they remain dramatically under-represented. Women constitute only 16 percent of the U.S. Congress and 25 percent of elected policy-makers nationwide. This state of the union results in policies that lack women's unique voice and decisions that restrict our fundamental reproductive freedoms. WCF's unique, cutting-edge programs are designed to advance the political participation and leadership of pro-choice women of all parties by providing the necessary encouragement, education and resources.
Our Programs
- She Should Run - Our national online recruitment effort builds the pipeline of new pro-choice women who should run for office and offers them resources to help them succeed
- Endorsements - Our endorsement process identifies and supports great pro-choice women candidates and promotes them to our membership
- SocialChange - Our political-giving initiative mobilizes bundled contributions for WCF-endorsed federal candidates
WCF endorses pro-choice women up and down the ballot, making them eligible for financial support from both our affiliated political action committee (WCF PAC) and the Social Change program. WCF actively promotes endorsed candidates to our members, encouraging them to donate their time and money to support these candidates.
At WCF, we work every day to ensure that pro-choice women are empowered...and in power.
