We educate voters, endorse candidates, and mobilize New Yorkers so NOW-backed campaigns win.
NOW PAC Endorses Kamala Harris.
“President Joe Biden has made a difficult decision to stand down as a candidate for re-election, putting the best interests of his party and the country above his personal, political future. The Biden-Harris administration has done more to champion women’s rights and advance equity than any of their predecessors. Joe Biden has earned his place in history and in our hearts.
And now, as President Biden passes the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, we look forward to electing a Black and Indian woman president and finally crashing that last glass ceiling over the White House. Kamala Harris will speak to what women want and need in this election—a champion for their rights—including reproductive rights—and a fighter for democracy itself.
Thank you, President Biden, for always being our champion.”
—Christian F. Nunes, National NOW President

Thinking About Running for Office?
We’re committed to increasing women’s representation.
We educate voters on the women’s rights credentials of candidates. We’ve made progress, but have a long ways to go. Women currently make up 28% of Congress. 39% of women serving in Congress are women of color. Women make up 22% of our New York State legislature, putting New York 24th in the rankings of representation in state legislatures. Get the stats on the growing number of women holding elected office.
