Recommended reading by Delores Klein: “Hidden From History”
“What if you and a whole group of people nationwide participated in what were ground-breaking actions and they were totally ignored, forgotten, not even mentioned?” - Hidden From History
Notes from State Conference
NOW’s Mission Plan as outlined by President Terry O’Neill:
- Health Care Reform: Need a single payer system. Women bear the brunt of under/non-insured difficulties. Pregnancy is considered a “pre-existing” condition to insurers. Women make up most of the part-time workforce and are without health care.
- ERA: Addressing both the Startover and Three-State strategies.
- Equal Marriage Campaign
- Stop Violence on Abortion Providers: Freedom of Access law isn’t enough. Need an anti-terrorism law. Obama Administration needs to start thinking creatively about laws.
