The DAR has made headlines for adding a \u201cnon-discrimination\u201d clause that allows biological males to become members.\n\n\u201cThe Daughters of the American Revolution are called \u2018Daughters\u2019 for a reason\u2014this organization is meant to honor the legacy of American women and their ancestors, not pander to a distorted sense of reality manufactured by far-left radical Democrats,\u201d said Senator Britt. \u201cWhether in women\u2019s locker rooms or time-honored organizations like DAR, it is our job to protect women and girls in spaces that are rightfully theirs. I\u2019m proud to cosponsor this commonsense legislation.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Daughters of the American Revolution was founded by women for women, and its founders would be appalled that the organization is now allowing biological males to become members and undermine the legacy of real women who helped build our nation,\u201d said Senator Blackburn. \u201cThe Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act would amend the DAR\u2019s federal charter to stop the organization from erasing biological reality and ensure it is reserved for the real daughters of the American Revolution.\u201d\n\nThe DAR adopted a non-discrimination provision that its current leadership has misconstrued to allow biological men to become members.\n\nThis bill would amend the DAR\u2019s federal charter to add an eligibility requirement that limits membership to an individual who is a woman and otherwise satisfies the genealogical and membership qualifications established by the corporation.\n\nThis legislation is supported by Heritage Action, Concerned Women for America Action Committee, American Principles Project, Senior Legal Counsel of Independent Women, and the Alliance Defending Freedom.\n\nSenator Britt is a long-time champion of protecting the rights of women, previously introducing the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act and the \u2018American Girls in Sports Day\u2019 resolution.\n\nYou can read the full text of the bill here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-05T07:37:37Z", "2026-08-05T07:38:44Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.britt.senate.gov/news/press-releases/u-s-senators-katie-britt-marsha-blackburn-colleagues-introduce-legislation-to-keep-biological-men-out-of-daughters-of-the-american-revolution/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.534308772534132, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
