The United States leads the world in military expenditures and exports. WAND's mission is to empower women to act politically to reduce violence and militarism, and redirect excessive military resources toward unmet human and environmental needs. One-third of all women state legislators are members of WiLL, representing approximately 33 million constituters nationwide. WAND Partners are organizations committed to working with WAND to address federal budget priorities. There are more than 400 WAND Partners in 29 states.
Women are the majority in the United States.
We start most of the new businesses, make most consumer decisions and are the majority of Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries. Women have the most at stake in federal budget priorities, yet traditionally our voices have been absent or dismissed in debates on budget priorities and national security policies. WAND is working to ensure that women's voices are heard at every table where those decisions are made. We invite you to find out more about WAND on this website, or contact us for a free brochure, fact sheets, and additional information.
