Dear John,
The issue of women in politics shouldn’t be an issue - it should just be a fact. And it certainly shouldn’t be a weapon to diminish and weaken our democracy. We can’t accept a system where men have a head start and the finish line is placed out of reach for many women.
Will you help NOW stand up for gender equality and democracy by making a special contribution to NOW today?
More and more, people—particularly young people--are motivated not by partisanship or personal attacks but by their values, such as the right to vote, reproductive rights, gender equality, pay fairness, and safety in school and the workplace.
Those are the cornerstones of our democracy-- and women can be just as vigorous defenders of democracy as anyone.
NOW is working nationally and at the grassroots level from coast to coast, to show how when we’re fighting for things like abortion rights, economic justice and bodily autonomy, we’re fighting for democracy!
If we say that democracy is the “government of the people, by the people and for the people,” then that must include all the people. All of us. Not just, as the Founders believed, other White men like themselves.
Please support this important work by making a special contribution today.
