Concerned Women for America (CWA) is a socially conservative[1] Christian non-profit women's activist group in the United States. Headquartered in Washington D.C.,[2] the CWA is involved in social and political movements, through which it aims to incorporate Christian ideology.[3] The group is primarily led by women for women,[4] but it welcomes men who support its beliefs and efforts.[2]
The group was founded in San Diego, California in 1979 by Beverly LaHaye, whose husband Timothy LaHaye was an Wikipedia:evangelical Christian minister and author of Battle for the Mind, as well as coauthor of the Left Behind series.[5][6] Recognized as a 501(c)(3) public policy women’s organization, the CWA aims to develop more "responsible citizens" through the promotion of Christian ideologies within society and politics.[3]
The CWA identifies itself as an amalgam of "policy experts and...activists[s]" whose anti-feminist approach to politics[4] bolsters its mission to "protect and promote Biblical values among all citizens."[3]
