Save Our Democracy – Vote for Womxn’s Lives!

July 22, 2022 – July 24, 2022

We are excited to finally meet again in person for the 2022 National NOW Conference: Save Our Democracy – Vote for Womxn’s Lives! Join us in the windy city of Chicago at the ‘herstoric’ Palmer House Hilton hotel. Make your plans to join the united NOW member body to make new connections and reconnect with old friends and chapters from across the United States, as we come together to vote on resolutions and bylaws and to reignite the excitement of ensuring our PAC is funded to endorse feminist candidates who will move our agenda forward. Chicago brings a multitude of big-city excitement, and we will be supporting one of the largest unionized cities in America. This conference is another step toward bringing our organization back to its grassroots and uplifting the voice of the body. We look forward to seeing you in July! check back often for new updates!

National NOW and the chapters of Illinois NOW are busy planning an amazing conference for 2022. Check back often as the site will continually be updated.
