Dear John,

Just in case you missed it, I’m forwarding Kim’s email from a few days ago, sharing a powerful story that reflects the generational impact of NOW’s work on our members and the fight for a feminist future.

We stand on the shoulders of incredible foremothers who gave of themselves to push America to live up to its promise of equality for all. To carry that legacy forward today, it’s essential that generous supporters like you continue to keep NOW well-resourced to fend off the current wave of anti-women attacks.

That’s why I hope you’ll consider making a tax-deductible year-end gift of $25, $50, or more to NOW Foundation today. Your contribution will be used immediately to support grassroots educational and organizing efforts nationwide. It will also be matched, dollar for dollar, during our special matching gift campaign.

Please read Kim’s email below, if you haven’t already. I trust you’ll be inspired and motivated for our work ahead together.

In sisterhood,
Rose Brunache
National Vice President

Dear John,

Over the past few months, I’ve visited with NOW members in communities across the country, delivering on my promise to better connect the national team with the grassroots members and supporters who are the backbone of our movement.

During these visits, members often share stories not just about the initiatives they’re working on locally, but also about what brought them into the fight for women’s rights in the first place.
And for many, their involvement is a family tradition.

One member recently talked fondly about watching her mother—who joined NOW in the 1980s—rally their community to defend hard-won reproductive rights, call for more protections for survivors of domestic violence, and demand more accountability for perpetrators. She was inspired by her mom’s strength. Even at a young age, she understood that her mother was fighting so that she could have a brighter, more equal future.

Today, she’s proudly carrying on her mother’s legacy as a second-generation NOW member. But she admits to being a little saddened by the fact that part of our work today is about restoring the victories that her mother’s generation already won.

And I understand why. In so many ways, we’re being forced to fight old battles to regain historic ground won by our foremothers, while also pushing to claim new ground for future generations.
I believe this moment should serve as a reminder that we must always be vigilant in this fight—because opponents of women’s rights will never stop in their mission to chip away at our rights.
We cannot afford to assume that our wins are set in stone. We must keep our defenses up, expand our movement, and prepare the next generation for their turn in the fight.

This is the work before us in the year ahead. I know it will be challenging, but I’m also confident that we’ll have successes because generous supporters like you will be fueling NOW’s efforts.
Together, across the many generations that make up NOW’s members and supporters, we’ll ensure that 2026 is a year of progress in the feminist movement.

Until justice is ours,
Kim Villanueva
National President
