We use the law to advance
gender equity in the Northwest.
Our Story
In 1978, our founders envisioned a world free from gender discrimination. Our first case, Blair v. Washington State University, guaranteed equal access to school sports facilities and programs in Washington state. It also set a national precedent. Since then, we’ve made progress in every area of the law related to gender liberation.

Our Challenge to the Nation’s First Abortion Travel Ban
Since the fall of Roe, Idaho has banned nearly all abortions. But in 2023, lawmakers went even further, passing the country’s first-ever abortion travel ban. The law is designed to punish trusted adults who help youth travel out of state to access care.
