Our Founder, Ida Landau was a woman of action. When she married her husband, who was not a U.S. national, the law of the time stated that she had to forfeit her own U.S. citizenship. Ida immediately petitioned Congress bringing attention to the injustice, and leading to the passage of the Cable Act, that ensured women could marry whomever they wanted without losing their citizenship.
Her legacy of action continued when she worked as a war correspondent during WWII and also assisted with relocating Jewish refugees. For Ida, helping others was second nature. As a donor to the Educational Foundation, you are just like Ida, making a difference for others.
