Pasco NOW September General Meeting

The National Organization for Women (NOW) is the largest organization of
feminist activists in the United States. NOW has 500,000 contributing members
and 550 chapters in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. 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
equality and justice in our society. The Pasco NOW chapter works to bring about
gender equality and address gender issues not just nationally, but locally as
well. You do not need to be female to join--if you have a mother, grandmother,
aunt, sister, daughter, then our issues are your issues.  If you have ever wanted to get involved, NOW is your chance! Join us!
