Young Feminist National Committee

The Young Feminist National Committee is comprised of feminists under the age of 35 from all parts of the United States. NOW CAN groups are organized by students, associated with the campus student activities or student government association, and will organize meetings and plan events to involve other students in bringing about progressive change for women. 

Collectively these initiatives have been leading grassroots activities in their respective communities and bringing attention to our six core issues. One of our core priorities is the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Given the ERA’s current status in Congress, there is great urgency to exert more pressure on leaders and stakeholders.
