The National Library for the Blind was an American philanthropic and educational institution. The National Library for the Blind was incorporated December 26, 1911, and was located at 1729 H Street, Washington, D.C. The American ambassador to Italy, the Hon. Thomas Nelson Page, was the first president. He was succeeded by Sara Weeks Roberts. Thereupon, Page was made the honorary president.The object of the library was to furnish the sightless, in their own homes, interesting and up-to-date literature. The books were carefully selected, and consisted of history, biography, travels, and novels suitable for the adult, and were in constant circulation to readers in 44 states. By an act of Congress, embossed reading matter for the blind was sent free by mail to any part of the U.S. This was a great boon to the sightless, as necessarily the volumes were large and heavy, and the expense of transportation would make their general circulation prohibitive.A blind woman had charge of the records and distribution of books. Paper was prepared, type set, and the books embossed by blind employees; and the sightless also, in their homes, were paid for transcribing, all work being returned to the library to be proof read, corrected, shellacked, eyeleted, and bound by the blind employees, under the oversight of the director. The library sent out catalogues, both in printed ink and embossed type, the latter enabling the blind themselves to select books they wished to read. A book of instructions and a slate and stylus were sent to those desiring to learn to transcribe in English Braille.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is an American conservative and libertarian legal organization that advocates for a textualist and originalist interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., it has chapters at more than 200 American law schools and features student, lawyer, and faculty divisions. The lawyers division comprises more than 70,000 practicing attorneys (organized as "lawyers chapters" and "practice groups" within the division) in ninety cities. Through speaking events, lectures, and other activities, it provides a forum for legal experts of opposing views to interact with members of the legal profession, the judiciary, and the legal academy. It is one of the most influential legal organizations in the United States.The Society was founded in 1982 by a group of students from Yale Law School, Harvard Law School, and the University of Chicago Law School who wanted to challenge liberal or left-wing ideology within elite American law schools and universities. The organization's stated objectives are "checking federal power, protecting individual liberty and interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning", and it plays a central role in networking and mentoring young conservative lawyers. According to Amanda Hollis-Brusky, the Federalist Society "has evolved into the de facto gatekeeper for right-of-center lawyers aspiring to government jobs and federal judgeships under Republican presidents." It vetted President Donald Trump's list of potential U.S. Supreme Court nominees and, as of March 2020, 43 out of 51 of Trump's appellate court nominees were current or former members of the society.In January 2019, The Washington Post Magazine wrote that the Federalist Society had reached an "unprecedented peak of power and influence." Of the current nine members of the Supreme Court of the United States, six are current or former members of the organization (Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, and Amy Coney Barrett). Politico wrote that the Federalist Society "has become one of the most influential legal organizations in history—not only shaping law students' thinking but changing American society itself by deliberately, diligently shifting the country's judiciary to the right."

IWF was founded by activist Rosalie Silberman to promote a "conservative alternative to feminist tenets" following the controversial Supreme Court nomination of Clarence Thomas in 1992. IWF's sister organization is the Independent Women's Voice (IWV), a 501(c)(4) organization. The group advocates "equity feminism," a term first used by IWF author Christina Hoff Sommers to distinguish "traditional, classically liberal, humanistic feminism" from "gender feminism", which she claims opposes gender roles as well as patriarchy. According to Sommers, the gender feminist view is "the prevailing ideology among contemporary feminist philosophers and leaders" and "thrives on the myth that American women are the oppressed 'second sex.'" Sommers' equity feminism has been described as anti-feminist by critics.
