PowrPAC “Most people don’t know that it is not unconstitutional to deny women equality under the law. But, as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia recently pointed out to us, the Constitution does not prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex,” said Ms. Gandy. “This is why we are seeing a flood of bills come out of state legislatures attacking women. This is why we have to struggle to protect what progress we have made every time election season rolls around. This is why it is still legal to pay women less than men, to discriminate against mothers seeking jobs, and restrict the availability of health care services for women. This is why our bodies become political footballs and bargaining chips whenever other issues are raised. Women are tired of this. We want better for the daughters of America, and we mean to give it to them,” Ms. Gandy added. About POWR People Organizing for Women’s Rights (POWR), the first national political action committee (PAC) which leverages social media and other social action tools to combat gender discrimination and inequality at the state and federal level. Team Uterati (“TeamU”) is a broad-based online community initiative which maintains a complete database of crowd-sourced legislative and other information regarding reproductive rights and women’s health issues nationwide. The Team Uterati Wiki Project (“TeamU Wiki”) is a community-driven social action tool used by grassroots and netroots activists to combat the ongoing Republican infringement of women’s human rights, and it can also be used by the media to report upon such efforts. The website allows visitors to view legislation state-by-state, including the status of the legislation, its relevance, authors and sponsors, related activism and any organizations involved, giving unprecedented ease of access and transparency to empower ordinary citizens who are interested in this issue.
