As a national membership organization, WAND works
to increase women's political power for the purpose
of reducing violence and militarism and redirecting
excessive military resources to unmet human and
environmental needs. |

supports women who are members of WAND or WiLL (Women
Legislators’ Lobby) who are running for
the United States Congress. In 2007, women account
for 16% of Congress. At this rate, women will not
have equal representation in our national law-making
body until after the year 2430. (See
