This Saturday, September 29, WORD is holding a public forum in LA to discuss the next steps in the struggle to defend women's rights.

All over the country, politicians are asking for our votes. They want our support on election day, but we have one question: will they support women and women’s rights, including the right to abortion, and women’s access to health care services?

Why should women support any politician who won’t pledge to aggressively defend women’s rights? WORD and other organizations are planning to challenge every politician in the country during this election cycle with one direct question: Will they or won’t they sign the Women’s Rights Pledge.

Learn more about the Women's Rights Pledge!

WORD is organizing protests outside of the presidential debates on October 16 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York and October 22 at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. During the week of October 16-22, women in cities across the United States will hold local demonstrations to make their voices heard.

As the candidates debate domestic and foreign policy for an audience of millions, we will demand full abortion rights, end budget cuts, affordable healthcare, childcare and maternity leave, equal pay, and more.
