Since 1890, members of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC) have rallied as community-based advocates on issues of national importance. Throughout the years, Federation advocacy has garnered results including child labor laws, women's suffrage, pure food and drug statutes, guaranteed rights for people with disabilities and sensible gun control.
The GFWC Legislative Network (LegNet), an interactive network, advances and supports the Federation's impact on national policy by Congress and GFWC members. Participation includes letter writing, telephone calls, visiting legislators, community events or local coaltion building. Advocacy communication educates members on national policy issues and facilities grassroots action.
