Rochester New York NOW
The Greater Rochester Chapter of the National
Organization for Women is an active, entirely
volunteer based, non-profit group dedicated to helping
women live better lives. Rochester NOW works in
support of women's health care issues, equality in the
workplace, and fair treatment regardless of race or
sexual orientation.
Our
intention is to make a difference in the lives of the women in the greater
Rochester area by dedicating ourselves to several key projects each year. We
use political activism to influence change.
As a volunteer organization, we depend upon membership dues to finance our activities. Take a minute,
join NOW, and help to keep feminism alive in
Rochester.
To find out what issues we are working on visit both our
Take Action and Calendar pages.
