AZWOA Went to Washington
I was recently asked to go speak to some influential women in Washington, DC. They wanted to know how Arizona Women of Action grew to almost 40,000 busy but engaged women who care about families, faith and freedom, and who consistently take time to make a difference! … They want to build such a movement in other states.
So, I flew with our Director of Operations, Courtney Konderik to DC for a few days. Two things were confirmed to us about this present moment in 2025, and looking toward the 2026 elections: 1) We’re in the midst of a cultural awakening towards God, and 2) All eyes are on women.
We heard from several leaders, both men and women. But mainly, these were meetings between women at the grass roots and at the grass tops. (Both sides need to be listening to each other a lot more, in my opinion.)
Here’s what we told them… and this is why it’s an exciting time to be alive!
Be Encouraged. Our story shows why.
Though women have been veering toward Leftist ideology due to strategic emotional manipulation, we must--and we can--reclaim America’s Women! We can get them Informed, Engaged & Voting … in the right direction (meaning, according to the values that benefit women as well as society).I KNOW we can do it, because I’ve seen it happen.
Arizona Women of Action started from just a small group of normal, busy women—watching over families, careers, schools, ministries … And then 2020 happened.
It took riots, masks and mandates to make us realize: We ALSO had to be watching over America—starting with our neighborhoods, cities, our state and nation.
Most women don’t live for politics. They just want ‘politics’ to let them live. But to change things, we had to learn HOW to engage civically. How to influence political leaders. The challenge was, we had NO political experience. I mean, we started from scratch. Most of us didn’t have a clue who our state representatives were, or what a Legislative District was.
But that didn’t stop us; we knew what was at stake. And as Christians, we also saw the opportunity to help every woman make a deeper impact to bless those in her sphere of influence.
We kept growing—and having a blast! These political newbies were taking action and even running for school board. Our weekly Call to Action newsletter and our social media was serving a demand. As we were learning, we shared with more and more women every week:
-What’s Happening
-Why it Matters
-What you can DO about it
What does this prove? There are thousands of women-- hungry for trusted friends who can help them make a REAL difference. AZ Women of Action served a need, and still does:
We Make it Easy, so YOU Can Make a Difference!
2. Politics can’t be the end goal.
We didn’t start this for politics’ sake, but for people and principles worth fighting for. Politics is a tool—not the goal. America is a gift, but not the Source of the gift. The Author of freedom is the only One who can bless ALL people, and the only One worth our hearts’ deepest longing. America, at the core, is more than a nation.
America is a culture; a heartbeat.
America is a gift, modeled after God’s heart for people.
We need Christians to find their voice again, and that voice must be grounded in Love, not anger. In addition, Truth must be the guardrails. Effective politics must start with Love and Truth—together. One without the other leads to damage.
All faithful citizens must answer the call to serve and STEWARD our communities.
3. All eyes are on Women for Two Reasons:
1.: Women Set Culture: We are the glue in families, we’re networkers, and we are natural ‘influencers’.
2: Women Determine Elections: Did you know that women out-voted men in 2024 by 8.7 million votes? And that women have out-voted men in every presidential election since 1980? (Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP). 2025.)
It makes sense why the Left targets and propagandizes women constantly, and especially at election time.
So, back to YOU, our ‘grass roots’ Arizona Women of Action friends here at home: Thank YOU for taking action so diligently! For being smart and discerning. Thank YOU for serving through your hearts with Love & Truth!
Let’s keep watching over our homes, neighborhoods, cities and state, as well as our Nation. And let’s keep walking forward. Let’s get America’s Women: Informed, Engaged & Voting … to Shift Culture for Good!
