Daughters of the American Revolution is a history-based organization for women connected by family to people who fought in the American Revolution. In recent years, leadership at the organization has gone somewhat woke and has been open to the idea of allowing biological men who identify as women to join. Individual members were not so keen on the idea.
One chapter in Texas challenged the idea, and the national organization has now voted to disband that chapter.
FOX News reports:
Daughters of the American Revolution axes chapter that challenged transgender membershipThe Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) voted Saturday to disband its Martha Laird Chapter in Texas that fought to bar transgender women from joining the historic organization, citing violations of its national bylaws.In a letter to chapter members, DAR Organizing Secretary General Marguerite Hogan Fritsch announced that the National Board of Management had approved the chapter’s dissolution by a two-thirds majority vote.”On October 10, 2026, at the meeting of the National Board of Management of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution a resolution passed by two-thirds majority vote to disband the Martha Laird Chapter, NSDAR,” Fritsch said in the letter. “The actions of the chapter have been found in violation of Article XIX, Section 4 of the Bylaws of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution,” the letter continued.The letter did not identify the specific conduct that constituted a violation or state whether the chapter’s opposition to transgender membership contributed to the decision.The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution confirmed to Fox News Digital that the organization had voted to disband the local Texas chapter but denied it was due to its views on membership.”The National Board of Management voted on October 10 to disband the Martha Laird Chapter in Texas after finding that chapter officers had used the chapter’s name, leadership positions, communications, and governance processes to further the goals of a separate advocacy organization,” the group told Fox News Digital. “The Board determined that it was this use of chapter authority and resources – not the views being advocated – that constituted conduct discrediting the National Society under Article XIX, Section 4 of the National Bylaws.””The Board’s decision was not based on the chapter’s or its members’ views concerning membership eligibility, their efforts to propose changes to the National Bylaws, or their right to advocate for changes in National Society governance,” the statement continued.
This battle has been going on for quite some time. In this video from three months ago, Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist breaks down the dispute:
