We Celebrated Our 25th Anniversary!!!
Gainesville Area NOW has been fighting for women's rights since 1982.

Our 25th Anniversary Banquet & Silent Auction
was a huge success! Over 60 attendees enjoyed delicious food, listened to some awesome speakers, enjoyed the activist slide-show, tapped our toes along with Lars Din, and won fabulous items in the silent auction.

We honored long-time Gainesville Feminist
Jenny Brown
and her speech was inspiring!

Reproductive Rights for Women!

What is NOW?      NOW is a multi-issue political organization. NOW's self-defined role has been
    to initiate change for the benefit of the greatest number of people, to affect the
    legal and institutional structures of the society in a way that systematically
    expands the choices and possibilities available to all women. In this way,
    NOW takes action to bring women, as a class, into the mainstream of society,
    rather than offering aid to individual women, in achieving personal solutions or
    temporary relief from oppression, exercising all privileges and responsibilities
    thereof in true partnership with men.

What are our issues?

           Abortion/Reproductive Rights              Affirmative Action
           Morning-After-Pill Accessibility    Rape Awareness
         Violence Against Women Awareness    Lesbian/Bisexual Rights
           Universal Child Care                           Universal Health Care
           Women in the Workplace                    NO More Stolen Elections!
