Mission: NOW is the largest, most comprehensive feminist advocacy group in the United States. Since its founding in 1966, NOW’s goal has been to take action to bring about equality for all women. NOW works to eliminate discrimination and harassment in the workplace, schools, the justice system, and all other sectors of society; secure abortion, birth control and reproductive rights for all women; end all forms of violence against women; eradicate racism, sexism and homophobia; and promote constitutional equality. NOW has more than 500,000 contributing members and hundreds of chapters across the U. S. NOW members are the heart, soul and muscle behind the group. They elect leaders, set policy and determine our agenda. NOW’s vast and diverse membership gives us clout in the government, media and the public eye. By speaking out and taking action, NOW activists make change happen at the local, state and national level. Because we don’t rely on foundation or corporate dollars, NOW’s work for equality and justice is made possible by membership dues, individual donations and volunteer hours.
