We’re building a feminist future—and we need you with us.

Seattle NOW is a grassroots, all-volunteer chapter organizing for bold, intersectional change. We fight for reproductive justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, racial equity, and policies that put people over profit.

Women's Equality Day Picnic

August 26, 2026
Woodland Park at 1000 N 50th Street, Seattle, WA 98103 (Shelter #6)

This will be a community event where we share food, stories, music, and time together. Bring a main dish to share if you can. As a rough guide, we're suggesting side dishes from those with last names A–H, snacks from I–O, and main courses from P–Z, but feel free to bring whatever you'd like regardless of your last name.

If you're able to help with set-up or tear-down, email NOWseattle@gmail.com to let us know. And of course, bring your friends and family along.

We'd love for you to come ready to share a favorite feminist story. There will be some seating at the park tables, but feel free to bring a lawn chair or blanket if you'd like extra comfort. We're also collecting women's hygiene products to donate to a local shelter, so bring some along if you can, and wear your favorite feminist or activist t-shirt to help set the tone for the evening.

Support the Work

We don’t take corporate money. We don’t have paid staff. Every dollar goes directly to grassroots feminist organizing right here in Seattle—printing materials, running events, showing up at the Capitol, and building power.
