The National Organization for Women (NOW) is the largest multi-issue feminist organization in the United States. NOW has 500,000 contributing members and Seattle NOW is one of the local 550 chapters that exist nationwide.
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 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 equality and justice in our society.
Seattle NOW continues to draw members dedicated to having an impact on policies and attitudes that are harmful to women. Because we believe that the personal is indeed political, we have joined NOW to do the work of changing our society at the political level, working to counter problems at the source in order to prevent the victimization of more women. To this end, Seattle NOW's goals are to educate, organize, and make change NOW.
Join us NOW and make a difference!
