Our core values
Women's health should not be a political issue.
These principles guide who we support, what we fund and how we measure progress. They are the standard we hold ourselves and our candidates to.
- 01
Bipartisan by conviction
We are staunchly bipartisan. We believe women's health should not be a political issue, and we will not treat it as one. The challenges women face do not respect party lines, so neither do we.
- 02
Record over party
We back candidates on the strength of their policy record, not their party affiliation. We look for a demonstrated commitment to women's health — in votes, committee work and service to constituents — and we hold leaders accountable to it well beyond election day.
- 03
Science first
We believe in science and evidence-based decision-making. We welcome rigorous inquiry, and we believe policy should follow the best available evidence.
- 04
Educating women about their health
We believe in the importance of educating women about their own health. Knowing what your body needs — and what care is available to you — is the foundation of better outcomes.
- 05
Whole body, whole lifespan
We define women's health broadly, spanning the whole body and the whole lifespan. Initiatives that improve the quality of and access to healthcare for women have positive downstream effects on families and communities.
- 06
Where consensus is achievable
We focus on the systemic barriers in women's health where bipartisan consensus is achievable. We do not fund advocacy or policy positions on abortion.
- 07
An economic imperative
We believe that improving women's health and wellbeing is an economic imperative. When women are healthy, families, workplaces and communities are stronger.
