Action Matters.
Who We Are
Progressive Women’s Action Coalition (PWAC) is a women-led, secular, nonpartisan group united not by party affiliation, but by shared values of equity, solidarity, and responsibility.
We create space for women to find community, connection, and support—along with opportunities to give back and grow alongside one another. We believe in civic participation and the power of showing up—collectively and with purpose.
We stand with one another and stand up for others.
What We Do
PWAC works at the intersection of direct aid, civic education, and advocacy—focusing on women, marginalized communities, and people facing economic hardship.
We host community gatherings and educational events, create opportunities for collective action, and partner with local organizations to meet real needs through drives, mutual aid, and outreach. We advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and stand against racism and domestic violence.
We also take time to celebrate and come together—honoring women and LGBTQIA+ communities, marking important milestones, and creating space for connection and joy.
We believe in practical action and generosity—showing up for those around us in ways that matter.
