Mormon Women for Ethical Government™ (MWEG™) is a nonprofit organization with both a 501c(3) and 501c(4). We are a faith-based community of women dedicated to civic empowerment and engagement as we work to build a more peaceful, just, and ethical world. You can learn more about MWEG here.

Mormon Women for Ethical Government is a private organization and is not endorsed by or affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We do, however, fully sustain, honor, and uphold the Church’s doctrines and leaders.

While most of us are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we do not in any way represent or speak for the Church. Our opinions are our own. We do not use the name of the Church in our title because we feel strongly that it would be inappropriate for us to in any way politicize the name of Christ or imply that we are directly affiliated with the Church. We have kept our name because it quickly communicates our faith and our purpose. We encourage all members of the Church to honor the call of Church leadership to personally use the full name of the Church when speaking of their religious affiliation. You can read more about how this decision was made here.

MWEG is a nonpartisan organization, with members all across the political spectrum. We are not defined by party labels but by our common commitment to ethical government. We encourage our members to be politically active, and we do not discourage personal party affiliation. We do ask members to put country over party. MWEG will not endorse candidates or party platforms, nor will it privilege one party over another in candidate forums or other public events. Learn more about our principles of nonpartisanship here.

Our advocacy work is guided by our principles of ethical government along with thoughtful research, discussion, and strategizing. Our current areas of advocacy include: checks and balances, immigration, environment and sustainability, and children and families. You can learn more about our current advocacy areas here.

All MWEG official statements, which reflect official positions taken by the organization, can be found here. We will always distinguish between the official positions of the organization and the personal opinions of the individuals we empower. Our members often share opinions in our discussion spaces or through op-eds, but those do not reflect an official position of the organization.

Yes. MWEG is a unique space run by women, for women. We build programs and advocacy opportunities around the remarkable skills of women, and we offer spaces for women to lead and share their voices. We believe there is tremendous power in sisterhood, and we draw on a long tradition of Latter-day Saint female strength and activism. Men who want to support our work can share our materials and messages, participate in our calls to action, donate, sign up for our newsletter, or support us in other ways.

No! As long as you share our vision and don’t mind being associated with a group that is called Mormon Women for Ethical Government, we would be delighted to have you!

MWEG’s members are a truly cross-partisan coalition of women across all 50 states. Our membership is 40% Republican, 37% Democrat, and 23% Independent, unaffiliated, or third party, which means we have a wide variety of perspectives and opinions. We work together to build a more peaceful, just, and ethical world. You can find more information on our leadership team, board, advisory council, and member community.

When you sign up as a member, we ask for your name, email address, and state, which allows us to connect you with local advocacy opportunities and events. As a member, you can participate as much or as little as fits your time and interests! Simply adding your name to our member list makes a difference. We hope you’ll find an event, advocacy opportunity, course, or other member offering you’d like to participate in. Membership is free, though we do invite you to consider becoming a sustaining member to support our work.
