Take Action

Every person’s comfort level with action looks a little different. Some show up at rallies and make noise. Others write, call, vote, donate, or simply talk—one honest conversation at a time—with neighbors, coworkers, or friends.

All of it matters.

WRDI Project exists to bring things into view—what’s happening with women’s rights, what it means, and what you can do next, if and when you choose. 

On this page, we’ve highlighted different ways to take action—from quiet influence to public advocacy—along with tools and resources to help you get started.

Wherever you fall on the action continuum—vocal, steady, or still finding your lane—there’s a place for you here.

Start Where You Are

See what’s changing in your state—and what it means for you. Find your state page via the See Your State menu. (add hyperlink)

Share What You Learn

Information spreads through everyday sharing. Post a WRDI Project summary, map, or dashboard on social media that helped you understand something new. Share an article with a friend via email. Forward a newsletter. Each small share builds collective awareness—and that’s where change begins.

Tip: Use and look for WRDI Project’s official hashtags (coming soon!) to help track national conversations—and be sure to subscribe to our Weekly Brief (link to newsletter sign-up)

Join Our Advisor Network

Help shape the future of the WRDI Project by joining our informal advisory network. Advisors will receive short surveys, early access to new tools, and a chance to offer feedback that keeps WRDI useful, nonpartisan, and data-driven.

Host or Join a Conversation

Understanding grows when we talk about what’s happening. Start a discussion in your book club, workplace, or faith community. You don’t need to have all the answers—just a willingness to learn together.

Coming soon: Our conversation-starter guides and discussion outlines.

Show Up in Public Spaces

Be present where women’s rights are being debated, challenged, or celebrated. Look for marches, vigils, or community gatherings organized by trusted groups in your state—even a small crowd sends a visible message of solidarity.

Coming soon: Our verified protest calendar and safety tips.

Call or Write Elected Officials

Your voice carries weight, especially when it’s personal. Contact your representatives at the local, state, or federal level about policies affecting women’s rights. Calls and handwritten letters are still among the most effective ways to be heard.

Coming soon: A toolkit of sample scripts and contact-finder links by state.
