Commemorating 53 Years of Title IX - Defending Education

Honor the Legacy and Protect the Future

In 1972, Title IX opened the door to equal educational opportunity for women and girls.

Today, we honor that progress — and continue the mission to protect it.

Thanks to supporters like you, Defending Education has:

  • Helped stop unlawful changes to Title IX
  • Secured legal victories that preserved fairness
  • Drafted model legislation to restore the law’s original meaning
  • Backed federal action reinforcing protections for women and girls

This is a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come — and to commit ourselves to protecting these gains for future generations.

Your support helps ensure Title IX continues to protect the very students it was written for.

Make a gift today to defend education and preserve Title IX’s legacy.

Thank you for being part of this important work.
