Women's Liberation Front

What Women's Liberation Front does

Women's Liberation Front (WoLF) is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2014 and governed under the laws of the District of Columbia, dedicated to restoring, protecting, and advancing the sex-based rights of women and girls. The organization self-identifies as the only U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit specifically focused on this mission area, and operates through three primary channels: legal advocacy (notably federal litigation in Chandler v. Macomber representing four female prisoners challenging California's SB 132 housing policy), policy advocacy (including the Women's Bill of Rights model legislation co-developed with Independent Women's Voice in April 2022), and public education (including the WoLF Media Style Guide and the 'Letters from the Front' community content platform). Its primary beneficiaries are women and girls whose rights are affected by gender identity policies across sports, prisons, shelters, schools, and healthcare.

WoLF has no proprietary technology product; it relies on standard third-party platforms including NationBuilder for donor and member management, Squarespace for its website, and social media channels (Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, plus the Spinster platform) for outreach. The organization employs 1-10 staff and is led by Executive Director Sharon Byrne, Legal Director Lauren Bone, and a board including founder Lierre Keith, with Special Advisor Kellie-Jay Keen supporting transatlantic feminist collaboration. Funding is entirely grassroots, sourced from individual donations across one-time, monthly recurring ('Friends of WoLF'), annual ('Liberation Leaders'), planned/estate, stock, and vehicle giving, supplemented by merchandise sales through Bonfire.

WoLF's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: the organization mobilizes its 'Sisters in Action' supporter base through email action alerts, public comments to regulatory agencies, amicus briefs, and participation in events including the 68th Session of the United Nations Conference on the Status of Women in March 2024. It operates within an international coalition network spanning Brazil, the UK, Spain, Italy, Canada, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand, and has filed regulatory actions with the FDA (puberty blockers Citizen Petition), CDCR (SB 132 public comments), and the Department of Education (Title IX FOIA request). No revenue figure, funding round, or acquisition activity is disclosed in the available data.

Regional players

• MATRIA: Brazilian women's rights organization that co-organized the United Women for Women's Rights open letter with WoLF. Comparable as a regional peer with overlapping mission on sex-based rights, serving as WoLF's primary Latin American coalition partner.
• RadFem Italia: Italian radical feminist publication and advocacy organization. Partnered with WoLF on the UN Women open letter and operates comparable sex-based rights advocacy from a European base.
• Canadian Women's Sex-Based Rights (caWsbar): Canadian sex-based rights advocacy group founded by WoLF board member April Halley. Operates with comparable mission in a different geography, providing a cross-border peer reference.

Direct peers

• Women's Declaration International: An international coalition of women's rights organizations with national chapters in the UK, Spain, and other countries. Has collaborated with WoLF on the 'United Women for Women's Rights' open letter to UN Women and shares core sex-based rights advocacy.
• Independent Women's Forum: A conservative women's policy organization that has co-authored op-eds with WoLF and operates in overlapping issue areas including gender-identity policy and women's rights. Highly comparable as a like-minded US advocacy peer with shared donor base and policy goals.
