The Feminist Policy Alliance is a student-led organization at the University of Texas Austin dedicated to advancing policy solutions that address the needs and rights of women. Operating within the LBJ School of Public Affairs, one of the nation's premier public policy institutions, the organization brings together graduate students who are passionate about gender equity and women's issues. The Feminist Policy Alliance serves as a bridge between academic study and real-world advocacy, providing members with opportunities to engage in meaningful policy discussions and community engagement initiatives.

Located in Austin, Texas, the organization operates within a unique ecosystem that combines access to state government, innovative policy research, and a vibrant university community.

The Feminist Policy Alliance extends its impact beyond the campus through advocacy initiatives and community outreach.

By fostering an inclusive community of students committed to gender equity, the Feminist Policy Alliance prepares emerging policy leaders to champion women's issues throughout their careers in government, nonprofits, and the private sector.
