About the Women’s Defense Coalition of Delaware
The Women’s Defense Coalition of Delaware (WDC) was a non-partisan, volunteer-led organization based in Delaware that worked to expand women’s access to self-defense training, education and legislative advocacy. Its work covered tracking firearms and self-defense legislation, analyzing public policy, attending hearings, organizing trainings, developing curriculum and running educational outreach across the state. The group grew out of grassroots activity and was formally incorporated as a nonprofit in 2021, giving Delaware gun owners, and women in particular, an organized voice in debates over self-defense and Second Amendment policy.
On May 4, 2026, WDC announced from Dover that it had filed articles of dissolution, ending its status as a nonprofit. The board said the operational demands on its volunteer leadership had become unsustainable alongside full-time careers, not that its belief in the mission had changed. Leadership stated that it intends to continue supporting women’s self-defense education and advocacy independently, returning to the informal grassroots model that existed before incorporation. As part of the dissolution, all remaining organizational funds were to be donated to the Delaware State Sportsmen’s Association to support ongoing Second Amendment legal efforts in Delaware.
