FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Philadelphia, PA –
The national nonprofit advocacy organization Voices of Americans today announced a five-figure, multi-region advocacy campaign slamming Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and State House legislators for blocking the bipartisan Save Women’s Sports Act, a bill to separate biological girls and boys in athletics and locker rooms.
“Governor Shapiro is not just on the wrong side of the 80-20 issue of separating biological boys and girls in sports and locker rooms—he actually labeled the majority of Pennsylvanians ‘extremist’ for supporting this policy,” said Albert Eisenberg, Founder and President of Voices of Americans. “Being so out of touch with most of his constituents is wrong, so today we’re inviting Gov. Shapiro to be normal. We’re spreading the word that he and State House leadership are blocking the Save Women’s Sports Act.”
“Call Governor Shapiro and tell him to stop gaslighting us,” urges athlete and activist Paula Scanlan in the powerful sports radio ad, which can be heard on stations across Pennsylvania and here. “Tell Shapiro he’s the ‘extremist’ for blocking the Save Women’s Sports Act.”

Scanlan references Shapiro’s controversial comments last July that the vast majority of Pennsylvanians are “extremists” for wanting to separate biological boys and girls in sports and locker rooms.
This first-of-its-kind campaign, which has launched in key markets across Pennsylvania (Northeast, South-Central, Philadelphia and Bucks County), exposes the “extremism” of state elected officials with high-profile billboards, sports radio advertising, digital and MMS buys reaching hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians in crucial regions.
“The time for partisan politics is over,” said Sen. Judy Ward of Blair County, one of two primary sponsors of the Save Women’s Sports Act. “Every day that the Save Women’s Sports Act gets delayed, girls and women across Pennsylvania are denied equal opportunity to fair and safe play and privacy. We need to send a clear message to the Governor, State House leadership, and all those listening—that women’s rights are not optional. They are fundamental.”
“Allowing biological men to take away roster spots, podium opportunities and scholarships from girls is completely wrong and goes against everything women have fought for for half a century,” said Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill of York County, the other primary sponsor of Senate Bill 9. “I call on Gov. Shapiro and House leadership to quit playing games with our daughters’ and granddaughters’ futures.”
“The issue of keeping males in women’s sports and locker rooms clearly demonstrates that the Woke movement is alive and wreaking havoc in Pennsylvania,” said Rep. Jon Fritz of Susquehanna County, one of the primary State House advocates of the Save Women’s Sports Act. “Governor Shapiro has doubled down in showing his support of males being allowed to compete against girls. It’s just plain wrong, it’s weird, and Pennsylvania shouldn’t ignore it!”
