Our Mission Statement
Founded in 1968, the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Organization for Women (Mass. NOW) is the only multi-issue, multi-strategy feminist organization in the Commonwealth. With nine local chapters across the state, Mass. NOW works to advance the equal status of women and girls in all aspects of their lives.
Our six priority issue areas are:
- Violence against women
- Racial justice
- Reproductive rights and health
- Economic equality and labor rights
- LGTBQ equality
- Civil and consitutional rights
Mass. NOW uses a variety of strategies and tactics to achieve our goal. Through our legislative, educational, and political work, we work to create change in many different ways, on many different levels.
Mass. NOW thrives on the support we receive from our members, supporters, volunteers, Fellows, and interns. Aside from our State Director, we are run entirely by volunteers. The Board of Directors, the Political Action Committee, the Legislative Task Force, and our interns are made up of volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and talents to benefit our causes.
