Dear John,
I’ll be direct: Donald Trump is an enemy of the intersectional feminist agenda that we both believe in.
“Highlights” of his first term include appointing the Supreme Court justices who couldn’t wait to overturn Roe v. Wade and rolling back protections against gender-based violence and workplace discrimination. And now in his second term, he’s using Project 2025 as his playbook to do even more harm to women and other historically marginalized communities in an effort to push America so far back that there’s no return.
But Trump and his cronies are not going unchallenged. NOW is fighting back with an aggressive strategy centered on our core issues—and the engagement and generosity of the NOW community will be essential to our success. That’s why I’m counting on your support today to implement our 2025 Action Plan.
With a generous contribution of $100, $250, or more you can help ensure that NOW has the resources necessary to make our 2025 blueprint successful as we contest attacks on women’s rights and push to move America closer to a feminist future.
We must raise $1,300,000 by April 15th to support this critical work, so please make your gift as soon as possible.
Your personal investment in NOW’s 2025 Action Plan will allow our nationwide network of activists to mobilize around three tenets of our core values:
Strengthening reproductive freedom by passing abortion rights ballot measures in more states—building on the seven-state ballot measure fights we won in 2024—and pushing for passage of the Women’s Health and Protection Act, which would prohibit governmental restrictions on providing or accessing abortion services in every state.
Bolstering women’s economic security by passing the Paycheck Fairness Act to end gender-based pay discrimination, strengthening the Family and Medical Leave Act to provide workers with partial income during temporary leave, expanding Social Security benefits, and raising the federal and state minimum wages, and more.
Combating violence against women by fully funding and improving the Federal Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, which provides critical services to more than 1.3 million violence survivors, and enacting measures to reduce gun violence and fight cyberflashing and online sexual harassment, among other steps.
None of this work is easy. But all of it is necessary to advance an intersectional feminist agenda—and it’s going to take every single one of us to be in the fight.
So, can I count on your generous gift today to back our 2025 Action Plan?
I hope the answer is “yes,” and I thank you in advance for standing with NOW in what will be a defining year for women’s rights.
