Together, we can achieve gender justice

Harnessing the collective power of state leaders for gender justice

Join Us

State Gender Policy Collective Members have exclusive access to our Resource Hub where they can find policy briefs and agendas, talking points, sample testimony, state-by-state data, and more!

The National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) and the State Innovation Exchange (SiX) have launched the State Gender Policy Collective (“the Collective”) to harness the power of state policymakers and leaders to advance gender justice across the country. Working across movements, across states, and with community leaders, Collective members will advocate for a future where everyone in every state can thrive.

Through the Resource Hub, fellowship program, and newsletter, the Collective will support state policymakers and state advocates with research, policy, and messaging resources and facilitate cross-state peer learning and collaboration. Together, Collective members in both states that are working to expand gender justice and states that are seeking to restrict it will achieve historic policy change and shift narratives around key gender justice issues—including child care, economic justice, health care and reproductive rights, workplace and education justice, and LGBTQI+ rights.
