Our Political Action Committee
The Mass. NOW Political Action Committee (PAC) is the political arm of Mass. NOW. We are a nonpartisan organization that endorses feminist candidates for State Representative, State Senator, and Statewide Office, as well as candidates in some local elections. The PAC exists to ensure that candidates who are committed to equal rights, and to giving women and girls a voice on Beacon Hill, are elected.
Candidates who receive the Mass. NOW PAC endorsement have met a rigorous set of endorsement criteria, support Mass. NOW’s issue areas and legislation, and have a demonstrated commitment to feminist and social justice issues.
The PAC is a group of committed volunteers who learn about the electoral field, read candidate questionnaires, attend candidate interviews, make endorsements, and volunteer on campaigns. No special experience is required to become a member of the PAC—all you need is an interest in politics and a desire to elect feminist candidates.
