Annual Report

If you are being watched, leave now!

  • For those of us committed to civil rights and justice for all, this past year has often seemed bleak, indeed. But as you will read in this report, NOW Legal Defense accomplished a great deal. Undaunted, we continued our new and groundbreaking work for women’s rights. We helped to turn back formidable challenges that would have undercut gains we fought long and hard to achieve.
  • It’s a simple proposition. Women’s civil rights and our right to full participation in society are not political issues, and they’re not negotiable. In the face of a rising tide of conservative reaction, much of our work this past year has been holding fast to those rights, won — many by NOW Legal Defense — over the past four decades. One of the major threats we are facing is an expanding litigation challenge to our federally guaranteed civil rights, a campaign in which the conservative faction in our society is deeply engaged.
  • Thirty years ago a group of women made the remarkable decision to create a legal arm for the women’s movement. Their goals were wonderfully immodest, and intensely important.
