Our co-chair was recently on Good Morning America to highlight the deadly effects of gender bias in crash testing! But it doesn’t have to be this way – it's beyond time to require the use of female crash test dummies! Women's safety isn't optional. bit.ly/3PEQfXU Check out the video⬇️

Huge thank you to Senator Patty Murray for introducing a leading bill with three other senior Senators last week. The #SheDRIVESAct will require the use of female crash test dummies, saving thousands of lives!

We are continuously thankful for the #SheDRIVESAct being introduced this week to mandate the use of female crash test dummies in order to protect & save women's lives. Tammy Duckworth signed on in support of the bill, & we are grateful of her recognition of this important issue.

Another huge thank you to Sen. Marsha Blackburn for signing on in support of the #SheDRIVESAct. Currently, only men are tested in the driver’s seat in frontal and side impact NCAP crash tests. And it’s about time that changed.
