Take Action!

Save the Women’s Bureau!

Contact your U.S. senators and representatives and urge them to fight to save the Women’s Bureau under the U.S. Department of Labor. 

Under the Trump Administration’s proposed FY2026 budget, the Women’s Bureau is called a “relic of the past” and completely defunded, even though it is the only federal office standing up for women in the workplace!

Created by Congress over 100 years ago, this agency is dedicated solely to ensuring women can earn a living wage and work safely. If the office is defunded, who will help women build careers that provide economic security for them and their families?

Email your members of Congress and ask that they fight back against these cuts!

Email Congress

The Women’s Bureau is the sole federal office dedicated to supporting women in the workforce, and its Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations (WANTO) grant has helped community organizations, like Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT), across the country prepare thousands of women to enter and succeed in male-dominated, high skilled, high-earning career pathways such as construction and manufacturing, and provide training and guidance for industry partners to support inclusive and equitable workplaces.

Tell your members of Congress to fight for the Women’s Bureau and its WANTO grants!
