USOW was born out of one core motivator: our movement for gender equity will be stronger if we bring together leaders and organizations to strategize, mobilize, and drive impact together. Seven years later and that has never changed.

While USOW is sunsetting, our work and mission will continue because of everyone who has taken action with us, and because of our incredible partners in the gender equity movement. We couldn’t be more grateful for your support, passion, and dedication to this fight.

To this incredible community: we are so grateful for your partnership through the ups and downs, every hard fought win, the collective mourning, and the many firsts and historic moments.

On this day in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I have a dream” speech to more than 250,000 people during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

“I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech will continue to inspire the fight for racial justice and equality for all.

We celebrate Women’s Equality Day each year in commemoration of the 19th Amendment and its adoption to the U.S. Constitution — even though the majority of women did not receive the right to vote in 1920.

103 years later, we continue to fight for equal access to voting for all women and gender-expansive people so that Women’s Equality Day will finally become true to its name.

Check your voter registration today to commemorate Women’s Equality Day at usow.org/vote.

08/26/2023

On this day in 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, and it was officially adopted to the U.S. Constitution.

Although the passage of the 19th Amendment was a huge milestone for women’s suffrage, not all women were granted the right to vote. The 19th Amendment did not eliminate state laws that operated to prohibit Black people from the polls through poll taxes and literacy tests, and it took the next 45 years for all women — Asian, Black, Latina, and Indigenous women — to be granted the right to vote.

Today, the fight to expand and protect voting rights is far from over. Our vote and our voices are powerful. Check your voter registration or register to vote right now, then remind 3 friends to do the same: usow.org/vote.

🔊 Say it with us: Mifepristone is safe, effective, and STILL available!

Yet again last week, the Courts allowed politics to overshadow people by limiting our reproductive freedom. While the Fifth Circuit stopped short of pulling mifepristone from the shelves altogether, it ruled to ban telemedicine prescriptions among other restrictions, but this order will not immediately take effect.

Visit abortionfinder.org or ineedana.com to find available care options.

Questions about the laws in your state? Visit reprolegalhelpline.org.

If you need financial assistance, reach out to an abortion fund. To find a fund that can support you, visit abortionfunds.org/need-abortion.

Image Description: A single slide graphic with a pink background. Bold white and black text says, “mifepristone is safe, effective, and used in over half of abortion procedures nationwide. it is key to providing abortion access across the country.” At the end of the text is a black “w” U S O W logo.

Make no mistake: Anti-abortion advocates didn’t stop at Roe and they won’t stop at mifepristone. They will ​​continue to do everything in their power to restrict abortion access and limit reproductive freedom around the country.

A court has never removed a medication from the shelves over the FDA’s objection. Beyond mifepristone, this case puts the FDA’s authority to approve medications at risk, threatening the approval process for other medications patients need.

Mifepristone is safe, effective, and still available. Swipe through to find resources.

Image Description: A three-slide graphic with a black background. Centered at the bottom of each slide is a white “w” U S O W logo. Slide one has bold black text in a white text box says, “Legal Challenges to Abortion Medication Could Set Off a Domino Effect for Access.” Below is a photo of someone holding abortion pills and a citation that says, “via Time.” Slide two has a thin white border. Below there is bold white text that says, "Mifepristone is safe & effective." Below there is smaller white text that says, "Since being approved by the FDA over 20 years ago, mifepristone has been used safely by over five million people in the United States. It has a 99% safety rate. This case isn’t about safety or effectiveness — it’s about anti-abortion advocates continuing to attempt to limit access and restrict reproductive rights across the country.” The following phrases are highlighted red: "Safe & effective," "over five million people," and "99% safety rate.” Slide three has a thin white border. Below there is a square white text box with a red ribbon in the top left corner that says "Resources" in white text. Below there is black text that says, "Find available care options via ineedana.com and abortionfinder.org. Questions about laws in your state? Visit reprolegalhelpline.org. If you need financial assistance, reach out to an abortion fund. To find a fund that can support you, visit abortionfunds.org/need-abortion/." The websites are written in red text rather than black.

“It’s important that young people know about the struggles we faced to get to the point we are today. Only then will they appreciate the hard-won freedom of Blacks in this country.”
— Amelia Boynton Robinson

Happy birthday to Amelia Boynton Robinson, a leader of the Civil Rights Movement and the first Black woman to run for Congress in Alabama!

Amelia’s activism and leadership inspires us every day and serves as a reminder that we are still in the same fight all these decades later.

BREAKING: There has been a critical development in the state of mifepristone since we shared our People’s Brief with you yesterday.

Today’s decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is just the latest blow to abortion access, and we’re disappointed to see the Court allow politics to overshadow people by once again limiting our reproductive freedom.

Mifepristone is safe, effective, and still available despite today’s decision. When it comes to serious medical complications, mifepristone is safer than Tylenol and Vi**ra. Visit abortionfinder.org or ineedana.com to find abortion care near you.

Despite this ruling, the lawsuit challenging mifepristone is far from over. It’s likely that this case will be appealed, and it will potentially head back to the Supreme Court.

140 organizations joined us in releasing a “People’s Brief” yesterday to send a strong message: reverse this harmful decision, respect science, and uphold the law. Read the brief: usow.org/mife-brief/

It’s clear the attacks on abortion access will not stop, but neither will we until everyone has access to the abortion care they need.

Add your name to our petition and demand the courts respect science and follow the law: usowomen.org/save-mife

Did you know today is ? Mothers earn 62 cents on the dollar compared to fathers on average, and moms who work full-time year-round earn 74 cents compared to dads who do the same.

This pay gap is even larger for BIPOC moms, with Black moms making 52 cents to white dads’ $1 and Latina moms making 47 cents to white dads’ $1.

Working moms need pay equity now!

Image description: A single-slide graphic with a blue background. At the top, bold white text says, “Today is Moms Equal Pay Day. Mothers earn approximately $0.62 for every $1 earned by all fathers.” The text that says, “Moms Equal Pay Day”, and “$0.62 for every $1” is highlighted in yellow, and the text is black. At the bottom of the slide says in yellow highlighted, bolded black text, “The gap is even larger for moms of color.” There is a white border around the slide, and a white “w” U S O W logo in the top right corner.

Mifepristone is safe and effective, and our fight to protect this critical abortion medication continues as we wait for a decision from the Fifth Circuit.

On this day, in 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in to the Supreme Court of the United States. Justice Ginsburg served on the Supreme Court for a total of 27 years, leading the fight against gender discrimination.

Prior to her career as a Supreme Court Justice, RBG made huge strides in gender equity as a lawyer. She fought to allow women to have access to bank accounts, credit cards, and mortgages without a male co-signer.

Thank you, Justice Ginsburg, for your trailblazing, tenacity, and dedication to equality.

Over 3 million Ohioans cast their ballots in yesterday’s special election, decidedly striking down Issue 1. Voters rejected the ballot measure that would have raised the majority rule from 50% + 1 vote to 60% on constitutional amendments and severely restricted guidelines for citizen-introduced constitutional amendments. This is an exciting and well-deserved win for Ohio reproductive justice organizers and abortion activists who have worked tirelessly to get abortion on the ballot this November.

Did you know that on this day, in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act? The Voting Rights Act outlawed discriminatory voting practices such as literacy tests.

Voting rights are a gender issue. As we remember this historic day, we must also continue to fight to protect and expand the right to vote for all.

It’s a crisis. Since 2018, nearly 1 in 10 counties have lost OB/GYN care. Hundreds of hospitals are shutting down maternity wards or going out of business altogether, cutting off millions from critical healthcare as births are expected to rise post-Roe.

To make matters worse, the places losing access to care also have disproportionately high rates of chronic health conditions that raise the risk of maternal mortality, like hypertension and diabetes.

This report from March of Dimes relies on data from 2020 and 2021, before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, but the full impact of state abortion bans on maternal care has yet to be documented.

Image description: A three-slide graphic with a black background. Centered at the bottom of each slide is a white “w” U S O W logo. On the first slide bold black text says, “‘It’s a crisis’: Maternal health care disappears for millions.” Below is a photo of someone walking into an OB/GYN office with a “via Politico” citation. Slide two has bold white text at the top that says, “The maternal healthcare crisis.” Below is a square white text box on the left and a rectangular white text box on the right. The left says, “5.6 million.” The right says, “About 5.6 million women live in counties with no access to maternity care.” Below is another square white text box on the left and a rectangular white text box on the right. The left says, “32 million.” The right says, “32 million women are at risk of poor health outcomes because of a lack of care options nearby.” Below is another square white text box on the left and a rectangular white text box on the right. The left says, “More than 1/3.” The right says, “More than a third of all U.S. counties are maternal care deserts, with no access to reproductive health services. States with large rural populations are especially prone to shortages.” Slide three has an image of a data chart based on March of Dimes’ report showing the percentage change in birthing hospitals from 2019 to 2020 by state, and a citation that says, “via Politico.”

The gender pay gap is shrinking 08/01/2023

BIG NEWS: Despite widespread fears that they would suffer disproportionately through pandemic recovery, working women proved everyone wrong — the pay gap is now the smallest that it has ever been!

Women working full-time earn on average 15.5% less than men working full-time. We still have a long way to go before the gender pay gap is nonexistent. Now is the time to double down in our fight for pay equity and eliminate the wage gap once and for all.

The gender pay gap is shrinking Women are serving as historic drivers of a labor market that remains surprisingly strong.
