Public Policy

GFWC clubwomen are advocates in the truest sense—they rally around issues of national importance and demonstrate the potential impact for communities around the country. Our network of grassroots volunteers works to identify priority legislative issues, share knowledge with members and supporters, advocate on behalf of the Federation's vision, and form coalitions with organizations that share GFWC's mission.

Learn about some of GFWC's most recent legislative initiatives. 

• Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
• Establishing a permanent site for the National Women's History Museum
• Global Poverty Act
• Shingles Prevention Act
• Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act

GFWC policy positions are supported by GFWC Resolutions that determine our members' legislative actions. From letter writing campaigns to media outreach and visits to Capitol Hill, our members work to further the issues and causes that are integral to GFWC's mission of community improvement.
