What is this campaign?

Every girl deserves the chance to play sports and have equal treatment when she does. This campaign targets sports at the K-12 level and is designed to empower you — students, parents, coaches, advocates, attorneys — to take action in your community to make sure that every girl has a level playing field. We provide all the tools you need to evaluate if your school is providing equal opportunity to girls. You choose a course of action to make sure that changes are made. To get started, click here.

Who are we?

We are organizations committed to equality of opportunity in sports. Level the Playing Field is led by:

The California Women's Law Center (CWLC) works to ensure, through systemic change, that life opportunities for women and girls are free from unjust social, economic, and political constraints. CWLC programs are designed to enable individuals to use the law that governs their rights and to assist them in addressing the legal issues that perpetuate women's growing poverty. By focusing on Gender Discrimination, Violence Against Women, Women's Health and Reproductive Justice, CWLC dedicates its resources to making the constitutional promise of equality a reality, and to protecting the rights of women and girls every day.
Since 1972, the Center has expanded the possibilities for women and girls in this country. The Center uses the law in all its forms: getting new laws on the books and enforced; litigating ground-breaking cases in state and federal courts all the way to the Supreme Court; and educating the public about ways to make the law and public policies work for women and their families. An experienced staff of nearly 50 takes on the issues that cut to the core of women's and girls' lives in education, employment, family economic security, and health -- with special attention given to the needs of low-income women and their families.
The Northwest Women's Law Center has been working for nearly 30 years to make these concepts a reality for women in the Pacific Northwest. By using the law, one of the most powerful tools in our democratic society, we improve women's social, economic and legal status. We bring ground-breaking lawsuits to change the law, advocate for legislation that advances women's rights, and educate women and the community about women's legal rights. And we do so on virtually any issue that affects women, because the challenges women face are multi-dimensional. Please join us in our effort to advance women's legal rights and make our society more just.
Save Title IX is a national education campaign to educate the public and Congressional representatives about the importance of keeping Title IX policies unchanged and the need for strong enforcement of the law. This campaign is led by the National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education. Holly Hunter, Geena Davis, and Senator Birch Bayh are the active, honorary chairs of the Save Title IX campaign.
Southwest Women's Law Center  
Title IX: I Exercise My Rights is a public service, informational campaign designed to educate the public about Title IX.
The Women's Law Project (WLP) is a nonprofit public interest legal advocacy organization that seeks to advance the legal, social, and economic status of women through litigation, public policy advocacy, public education, and individual counseling.
Our mission at the Women's Sports Foundation is simple: to advance the lives of girls and women through sport and physical activity. We live out our mission in many different ways. Founded in 1974 by Billie Jean King, the Women's Sports Foundation is a charitable educational organization dedicated to advancing the lives of girls and women through sports and physical activity. As the Foundation enters into its 30th year, we continue to strengthen our programs, services and national initiatives.
