We have seen how the pandemic has revealed the vulnerabilities that communities of color endure as a result of severe socio-economic disparities. With a new progressive administration in the White House, we finally have the opportunity to pass long-desired legislative initiatives that would fundamentally improve women’s lives. NOW is placing a major emphasis on the critical importance of an intersectional feminist agenda. Through our workshop proposals we aim to identify and lift up thought leadership from our NOW community leaders.

• Address the intersectional nature of feminist activism
• Build interest in the major elements of a progressive feminist agenda Identify critical next steps for our work
• Provide examples of how these can be carried out on state and local levels
• Diverse panelists - we strongly encourage having a panelist who can address your topics through an LGBTQIA+ lens
