Corrected Proclamation for Women's History Month, 2026
To honor the contributions of American women past and present and to call the nation to observe March 2026 as Women's History Month with programs, ceremonies, and activities.
Bipartisan rationale: VFA assesses this corrected ceremonial proclamation as preferable to unilateral policy action because it preserves Congress as the lawmaker and leaves the President as the national voice. VFA assesses the gain for Republicans and conservatives as protection of Article II ceremony, respect for federalism and the Tenth Amendment, and fiscal restraint with no new spending or mandates. VFA assesses the gain for Democrats and progressives as full honor for women's contributions across public and family life, with open civic observance that invites schools, libraries, and communities to take part on equal terms.
