| "When I ran for the U.S. Senate back in 1992, NOW was the only organization
to support [me] from the beginning. When others were looking at poll numbers,
NOW/PAC was looking at the content of my candidacy...and
with the power of its grassroots statewide network, became the field organization
that made my victory possible."
- Senator Carol Moseley

We wish there were more PACs with a full feminist agenda. Some progressive PACs focus on one or two areas of social justice. Their candidates may support abortion rights but might oppose lesbian rights. Or vice-versa. And we all know that right-wing PACs are flooding the country with donations to encourage our candidates to move away from "controversial" issues.
We all have an important role to play. We applaud the work of our sister PACs who have given support to feminist candidates. But there is only one player that spends every dollar on the full feminist agenda: the NOW PACs. We rely exclusively on individual donors to support candidates, train field organizers, conduct issues education and recruit feminist candidates. The Victory 2000 campaign aims to elect 2,000 feminists to office by the year 2000. Won't you help us fill the pipeline?
