Is NOW-CAN right for you?

You want to meet likeminded people and work together to change the circumstances that negatively affect your life and the lives of people you care about.

From petitioning your city council to fund the local domestic violence shelter, to registering voters for the next election, to organizing a rally against unfair legislation, to planning a meeting where people can share their experiences with street harassment, NOW is a way for you to put your beliefs into concrete action and create change.

The women's movement is NOW. It's time to join in!
