We believe there is a strong need for women to use their voices and their votes to influence what happens in our state. So, after thoughtful time spent, we have enhanced our mission statement, created a vision statement for what we believe Women for Kansas should stand for and outlined our legislative priorities as an organization.
Mission Statement
The mission of Women for Kansas is to recruit, motivate, and educate women who will actively participate in the process of electing moderates to public office who will advocate for moderate policies.
Legislative Priorities
- A fair, progressive tax system that adequately funds public services
- A court system free from political influence
- Equal rights for all citizens
- Separation of church and state
- Advocacy of healthcare rights and opportunities
- Equal access for immigrant families
- Reproductive rights
- Responsible gun laws
- Preservation of excellence in public schools and higher education
- Recognition of, and support for, the arts as vital to our quality of life
- Protection of our environment against avoidable degradation and depletion of our natural resources
Our Goal
Our goal is to form chapters of two or more within individual communities and/or geographical areas, bringing like-minded women together to discuss, advocate and get involved in local and state issues of importance and to promote the mission and statewide goals of Women for Kansas.
Chapter Purpose
Recruit like-minded women to become involved in the political process via W4K membership so women across the state become a significant body of influence that can help return the state to sanity.
