The Mass. NOW PAC represents members by endorsing candidates for state office (House, Senate and constitutional officers) based on a set of rigorous criteria, including:
- Reproductive freedom
- Civil rights for all people with an emphasis on racial justice and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals
- Moving women out of poverty through empowering, non-punitive welfare policies
- Support for an adequate supply of affordable housing in cities and towns across the Commonwealth
- Ending violence against women
- Ensuring that the death penalty will not be reinstated in Massachusetts
Mass. NOW activists represent an audience of informed voters who are eager to share their voice at the voting booth. Through the Mass. NOW PAC, we are seeking to ensure that elected officials hear our voices, and that feminism is represented in elected offices across the state.
