The Power of Women

Together, we are powerful. Together, we are 10,000 Women.

Our Mission

10,000 Women Louisiana is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the voices, leadership, and power of women across Louisiana.

Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, we work to ensure that women’s rights, health, and opportunities are protected and expanded.

Our History

10,000 Women Louisiana began as a bold vision: to unite women across the state to build collective power and influence.

In its first years, the organization launched advocacy campaigns on reproductive health and maternal care, created leadership development programs to support women running for office, and established community-based policy conversations through its Wisdom, Wine & Women series.

By 2025, 10,000 Women Louisiana had grown into a statewide movement with thousands of supporters, laying the foundation for its long-term goal of mobilizing 10,000 women to change Louisiana’s future.

Programs

Women on Wednesday

An advocacy program to advance policies for women, girls, and gender-expansive people in Louisiana. Each week, during the Louisiana Legislative Session, we host groups of advocates at the State Capitol to learn about proposed legislation, its potential impacts, and ways to influence the legislative process.
