WHY : To protest Gov. Pete Wilson's role in leading the attack on affirmative action and to launch NOW's 1996 Equality Countdown Campaign.
The campaign involves defeating oppressive initiatives such as California's anti-affirmative action ballot measure, turning out the women's vote in unprecedented numbers and electing feminist candidates in coordinated, flood-the-ticket-style campaigns. A key component of the campaign is the Fight the Right March set for April 14 in San Francisco.
