We educate voters, endorse candidates, and mobilize New Yorkers so NOW-backed campaigns win.
Our Focus During Trump’s Second Term
As we face the reality of a second Trump term, NOW-NYC remains unwavering in our commitment to upholding the rights and freedoms of women and girls across New York City. In the face of growing attacks on basic civil liberties, our mission is clearer than ever: We will Speak Up, Rise Up, and Act NOW.
During this critical time, we are amplifying our efforts to safeguard reproductive rights, challenge discrimination and violence against women, and promote the leadership of women in politics. We will continue to advocate for policies that advance gender equality, while fighting back against efforts to roll back hard-earned progress.
Our work is grounded in the belief that every woman deserves the freedom to live without fear, the right to make decisions about her own body, and the opportunity to participate fully in the political process. We are using all of our strength to challenge policies that undermine these rights, while standing firmly against the erosion of civil liberties that threatens our future.
NOW-NYC is committed to shaping a better future for all women, and we are mobilizing every tool at our disposal to make sure our voices are heard and our rights are protected. As we confront this new political era, we are more determined than ever to fight for what we believe in, because the stakes have never been higher.

Thinking About Running for Office?
We’re committed to increasing women’s representation.
We educate voters on the women’s rights credentials of candidates. While we’ve made progress, there’s still work to be done. Women currently make up 28% of Congress, with 39% of them being women of color. In New York, women represent 22% of the state legislature, ranking 24th in the nation for representation.
