National NOW

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.

North Palm Beach County Chapter was activated on June 24, 2002.

The murder of Dr. Tiller has mobilized many pro-life advocates.  On June 1, 2009 a vigil was held in West Palm Beach attended by our members and supporters to mourn his death and thank him for his courage..
