History

NOW activists use both traditional and non-traditional means to push for social change. NOW activists do extensive electoral and lobbying work and bring lawsuits. They also organize mass marches, rallies, pickets, non-violent civil disobedience and immediate, responsive "zap" actions. NOW re-instituted mass marches for women's rights in the face of conventional wisdom that marches were a technique that went out with the 1960s.

NOW's priority issues include: women's equality in the workplace and related issues; the Equal Rights Amendment; electing feminist leaders; ending sexual harassment and violence against women; promoting diversity and ending racism; abortion rights and reproductive freedom; lesbian rights and more.
