Megan Campbell

Hello fellow feminists! My name is Megan Campbell, and I am honored and excited for my second year on the Young Feminist Task Force. I have been truly inspired by the other women on the task force and had a great time last year working on issues such as increasing access to the HPV vaccine and working on a project regarding comprehensive sex education.

I am originally from El Paso, TX and have been involved with NOW for the last 6 years. I started as an intern at the Greater Boston NOW chapter as a sophomore at Boston University. I served two years as the VP Action for the chapter, and proudly served as Co-President of the chapter from 2005 to 2007, when I left Boston for Washington, DC. Currently, I am in my first year of graduate school at The American University, pursuing a Master of Public Policy and a Graduate Certificate in Women, Policy, and Political Leadership. I am not quite sure what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that I want to use my degree and passion to propose and advocate for public policies that improve the lives of women and children throughout the U.S.

As a 24 year-old feminist activist, I often encounter young progressive women and men who love to espouse the ideals of reproductive freedom, equal rights for the LGBT community, and equal pay, but are unwilling to identify themselves as "feminists". I am looking forward to working with the amazing other members of the Task Force to find ways to bring people into the feminist movement and to continue the work of our foremothers.
