New Hampshirites must: ✔️ Say yes to saving women’s sports; ✔️ Say yes to fighting for women’s rights, spaces, and opportunities; ✔️ Say yes to commonsense and pro-woman policies ✔️ Say yes to defining sex-based words… Send a message directly to Governor Ayotte to reaffirm a common-sense principle: women and girls should not be forced to give up their privacy to men in female spaces ⤵️ iwnetwork.com/actions/stand-…

🚻 Soren Aldaco speaks on That Kevin Show, sharing her experience with gender dysphoria & how doctors could have helped her rather than harmed.

My testimony from today's hearings at the NH Statehouse. youtube.com/clip/Ugkx9QHuC… These bills are straightforward common sense: they ensure that women and girls are not required to share intimate female-only areas with men, and that men and boys are not required to share their private spaces with women or with males who claim a female identity. Together, they set clear rules for restrooms, locker rooms, prisons, sports, and other single-sex spaces while still respecting the rights and safety of every resident in New Hampshire. This legislation simply preserves what women and girls—and men and boys—have always had: private, sex-specific spaces that protect us from indignity, confusion, and potential abuse, and that allow everyone to flourish. There is nothing controversial in expecting our elected officials to uphold this long-assumed right and to protect families who do not want their children placed in uncomfortable or unsafe situations. If New Hampshire passes these bills, the state will clearly show that the privacy, safety, and equal opportunities of its citizens—male and female—are worth defending. I respectfully ask the committee to move HB1217, HB1299, HB1442, HB1447, and HB1564 forward.

New England suffers higher electricity rates, not due to geography, but because of policy choices at the state level. Under the Federal Power Act, states have exclusive authority to regulate the electricity generated and sold within their borders. This has allowed states to enact policies like renewable portfolio standards, clean energy standards, 100% renewable energy targets, and energy efficiency standards for houses and cars. As a result, the region boasts the highest electricity rates in the nation—with no end in sight. The region is frequently an early adopter of policy changes that can inform or influence legislation elsewhere in the country over time. Independent Women’s recent research highlights important implications for states considering New England’s energy standards. The findings reveal a clear tension between women’s growing concern over rising energy costs and their desire to remain responsible environmental stewards. Independent Women’s Center for Energy and Conservation helps bridge this divide. The analysis below examines how New England became the nation’s most expensive energy market, explores women’s perspectives on the region’s energy policies, and outlines practical solutions to a more affordable and sustainable path forward in the years ahead.
