The National Organization for Women (NOW) has been organizing monthly breakfast meetings for presidential candidates to meet with the leaders of the women's movement to discuss the women's issues that must be part of any national campaign.

The National Council of Women's Organizations and the Coalition of Labor Union Women have joined NOW by co-sponsoring these informal get-togethers.

The first two sessions were with former Senator and Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun and Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
