@boyscouts waiting for your comments on Trump's incredibly inappropriate speech yesterday. A shameful display.

Planned Parenthood Fundraiser

If you can’t make the event, you can still donate to Planned Parenthood. Governor Christie vetoed state funding to Planned Parenthood in New Jersey for 7 years. Every legislative seat and the Governorship has an election this November. We know elections matter. You can make a difference. Please join us for an event to support pro- women’s health candidates and advocacy in your community.

  • What makes Women for Progress such a special organization is how they’ve galvanized a community of women in a short amount of time, that eagerly come together at events that are learning and action-oriented. WFP understands the desire for change that the women in their group have, and they wisely use that knowledge to help move their causes forward. In turn, they are empowering these women to listen to their own inner voice, speak truth to power, and help shape that deep desire to do more, into real action.

  • Now is the time for women to stand up and have their voices heard. Women for Progress is lighting the way - engaging us to make a difference and ensuring that our collective energies impact our community.

    ~ Tracy Zur, Freeholder Chairwoman - Bergen County NJ

  • The political climate today requires activism by organizations such as Women for Progress who will lend their time and voice to "Calling Out" injustices targeted towards individual freedoms. Women for Progress provides reliable facts from reputable leaders and expedient outreach to champion women to get engaged.
