About NOW

The National Organization for Women is the largest organization of feminist activists in the United States. NOW has over 600,000 contributing members and 450 chapters in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Since our founding in 1966, NOW's goal has been "to take action" to bring about equality for all women. Both the actions NOW takes and its position on the issues are principled, uncompromising and often ahead of their time. NOW is a leader, not a follower, of public opinion.
