Message from National NOW President Christian F. Nunes

February 24, 2023
 Happy Friday Feminists,

On Tuesday, February 28, NOW is hosting the fourth annual Racial Justice Summit. I’m looking forward to joining the thought-leaders, changemakers, and trailblazers participating in this important event. 

As in previous years, we’re bringing together different viewpoints to have insightful, critical, and likely difficult conversations covering a variety of urgent issues affecting racial justice in our country. Our theme for the 2023 summit is Uniting the States of America: Tackling Jim and Jane Crow through Law, in which we will discuss the extremist right-wing attacks that aren’t just trying to stop progress, but actually reverse it. From Critical Race Theory to barriers to BIPOC wealth, the event will not just explore the dangers our democracy faces, but how we can unite to push America forward. 

I encourage you to join the conversation through the livestream, or in-person if you live in the Washington D.C. area. 
 I hope can join us and can RSVP here! 
 In solidarity, 
Christian
