If Trump Wants A War With Women, These Lawyers Are Ready For Battle

If Trump Wants A War With Women, These Lawyers Are Ready For Battle.

On Wednesday morning, the nonprofit National Women’s Law Center announced its new Legal Network for Gender Equity ― staffed by 73 lawyers ― meant to aggressively defend women and girls from sex discrimination in the workplace, in schools and in the health care system.
