Get Up! Get Out! And Get Going! ... To NOW's Young Feminist Summit!

Angered by pharmacist refusals and abortion bans, young feminists across the country are speaking out. Young activists have been organizing throughout the school year, holding protests, letter writing campaigns, and panel discussions at colleges, universities, and high schools. This summer, we will come together at NOW's Young Feminist Summit, July 21, to discuss the issues in today's feminist world, share success stories and stories of struggle, and claim our place in the upcoming battles for social justice and equality for all women.

The Young Feminist Summit takes place in conjunction with NOW's 40th Anniversary National Conference. The combination provides an opportunity for future, current, and past feminist leaders to share experiences and advice, and to engage in a dialogue across the feminist waves. NOW members can also participate in NOW's governing process by helping set the organization's agenda for the upcoming year. Anyone who is interested in being part of NOW's future should plan on attending this jam-packed conference.

With the current outta' control administration, young activists have the opportunity to get up, get out, and get going to organize for a brighter feminist future. Offering stellar workshops, roundtables, and skill-building opportunities, along with great speakers and opportunities to connect with other young feminists, the Summit is the perfect occasion to expand your activist career or to start one. You can register for the NOW Young Feminist Summit and 40th Anniversary Conference on on our website. Remember if you're a NOW member, we have a sliding scale for the conference registration fee. If you're not a NOW member, now is the time to join! Help carry the torch of the women's rights into the future!
