Feminists deserve a place where their voices are welcomed and heard — including yours.
Say It, Sister! is a place where NOW leaders speak our minds, discuss feminist issues and call women to action. All posts and comments reflect the individual views of their authors, and should not be construed as positions taken by NOW.
We welcome vigorous debate, but please make sure comments are relevant to our blog posts. NOW reserves the right to remove comments attacking individuals or employing hostile language, including but not limited to slurs and profanity. NOW also reserves the right to remove trolling comments.
If you want information about NOW’s agenda and priorities, or general NOW policies, or if you want to leave a general comment, the most appropriate way to do so is by using our contact form.
