Indianapolis will host the 2009 National Organization for Women Conference and NOW Election, June 19-21, at the Sheraton Indianapolis Hotel and Suites. NOW’s conference theme this year, Turning the Tide for Equality, reflects the changing political landscape and renewed sense of hope for advances in women’s rights. It is also a fitting theme as NOW prepares to elect a new president and leadership team.
It was incorrectly reported tonight that the Los Angeles Chapter of NOW had endorsed Gov. Sarah Palin’s bid for vice president. The National Organization for Women PAC has endorsed Barack Obama and Joe Biden. No chapter of NOW has made a contrary endorsement.
On Tuesday, September 16, the National Organization for Women PAC, Feminist Majority PAC, Business and Professional Women/PAC, National Association of Social Workers PACE, National Congress of Black Women, and the Women’s Information Network will make a decisive announcement regarding the 2008 presidential election.
The National Organization for Women is proud to co-host a celebration of Women’s Equality Day during the Democratic National Convention in Denver. On Aug. 25, women’s rights leaders and elected officials will gather for a Women’s EqualiTea at the University Club downtown.
