Feminist Majority Foundation - Accomplishments

Accomplishments

• In 2006, FMF worked against an anti-affirmative action ballot measure in Michigan (the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, which passed in 2006 but was overturned in 2011 in the federal circuit court) and to pass a ballot initiative in South Dakota to repeal a state abortion ban.
• In 2004, the Feminist Majority was one of five principal organizers of the "March for Women's Lives", which brought more than 1.15 million women and men to Washington, D.C., in support of reproductive rights.
• In 1992, FMF secured support for the Iowa Equal Rights Amendment and, in 1996, to counter an anti-affirmative action ballot measure in California.
• During 1989-92, the FMF conducted the Feminization of Power campaign, recruiting an unprecedented number of women to run for public office, resulting in doubling women's representation in the United States Congress in 1992 (the Year of the Woman).
