Advocacy Campaigns
Safeguarding Afghan Athletes
We led a coalition to advocate for the evacuation and resettlement of Afghan women athletes who were at high risk for Taliban reprisals. With FIFA, we evacuated 18 national and provincial basketball players who were stranded in Albania for 1-1/2 years. They resettled in the USA in June 2023.
Empowering & Protecting Athletes
We’re supporting the Congress-appointed Commission on the State of Olympics and Paralympics to research and recommend reforms to the governing rules of the USOPC, its National Governing Bodies - including USA Gymnastics - and Youth Clubs.
Enforcing Title IX
We’re partnering with Champion Women to close the gender gaps in college scholarships, opportunities, benefits and treatment for American women athletes. That includes $1 billion in scholarships, $162 million in recruitment dollars and 200,000 fewer teams and player positions than college men receive.
Paying Women
We partnered on both the LILLY Ledbetter and the LFG films’ social impact campaigns and mobilizing the multi-sector signatories of our 2019 open letter to U.S. Soccer and FIFA Presidents calling for equal pay, prize money, investment and more.
