2A Women

2AWomen operates as a non-partisan national organization focused on defending Second Amendment rights through three primary channels: legislative activism, tactical firearms training, and financial assistance for training.

Unlike national organizations that claim 2A support but rarely show up in political fights, 2AWomen members are active every day in their states—not once a year. Their legislators know them by first name because of consistent contact on 2nd Amendment issues. They show up at state capitols and city halls when anti-gun legislation emerges, organize letter-writing campaigns to stop unconstitutional bills, and contact media outlets to generate press coverage.

"These ladies don't just say they are 2A warriors. They live the fight EVERY day."

Jan Morgan founded 2AWomen after years of traveling to 20+ states fighting major gun rights battles. When Illinois fought for concealed carry rights, Morgan taught pistol classes and donated all proceeds to legal defense. During New York's Safe Act fight, she addressed over 9,000 people on the capitol steps. Her media appearances include Fox News, CNN, WTAE Pittsburgh, KDKA, WPXI, and features in the Washington Post, Bearing Arms, and Personal Defense World.

Virginia Citizens Defense League Lobby Day Rally (2020) Jan Morgan was one of only two women invited to speak. She climbed onto a ledge to address the crowd directly instead of using the speakers' podium, standing against government infringement of Second Amendment rights.

BamaCarry Freedom Conference (2020) 2AWomen turned the Alabama conference into a show of support with their black-and-white "shall not be infringed" messaging. The Alabama State Auditor wore 2AWomen's shirt while delivering his keynote speech.
