Special Election News:

Gainesville Area NOW will be actively campaigning this election season. If you'd like to get involved in any of our events, please contact us.

1. Defeating Amendment 2 - Join us on October 30, for a joint panel discussion about Amendment 2, the so called Marriage Protection Act. The is amendment, which does not protect marriage, will eliminate all partner and domestic benefits if it passes. Come to hear how and what you can do about it. Pride Community Center, 3131 NW 13 St., 7:00 PM.
2. Debate Parties - We think its important to watch and listen to the presidential debates, so lets do it together so we can cheer and jeer!. There will be 3 televised presidential debates and 1 for the vice-presidential candidates. Look for more information soon about where and when our watching parties will be.
3. Candidates: Who to Vote For - Our September general meeting will be about the candidates: local, state and national. Plan to attend on Thursday, Sept 25, at the Pride Center (see above.) Dinner and childcare are provided. 6:30 PM
4. Canvassing - We will be canvassing voters on Saturday and Sunday during early election. There are 3 locations, the downtown county building, Millhopper library, and Tower library. We will talk to voters, in two-hour shifts, as they go in or come out, about our issues. Training and supplies will be provided. If you'd like to help, please contact us.

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!
