The focus of NOW’s work is taking grassroots-led action within our communities and developing the skills that activists need to make positive change at every level.  Action can take a lot of forms and we use all of them – both traditional and non-traditional.  Actions may include lobbying elected officials, pressuring corporations or public bodies; pushing for legislations, or more direct actions, such as pickets or rallies, focusing media attention on a problem, filing a lawsuit, putting a public spotlight on discrimination, and much more.  The organizing skills you’ll develop by being involved with NOW will make you a more powerful and effective advocate for women and for yourself!
