The National Organization for Women is a dedicated group of women and men who believe that all people are created equal. The Equal Rights Amendment has yet to be passed and still requires two more states to pass the ERA for it to be an Amendment to the United States Constitution.
GOOD NEWS: We are gearing up for the next election. We need to be organized and ready to counter all the trash talk against policies that help women. Help me out! Come to the meeting and let's get some good ideas for this site.
BAD NEWS: Women and families are really in a bind. We need to make sure we are aware of the issues and what we can do about it.
One thing you can do is contribute to: W.O.M.E.N.
W.O.M.E.N. is a non-profit organization in Tampa that assists women by paying for abortions. Many indigent women are harmed by Medicaid's exclusion of funding for abortion services. Now, even if they have insurance, these services will be excluded. W.O.M.E.N. has helped women who, for various reasons, find themselves in an unplanned pregnancy that they feel unable to continue.
They need your help to continue their good work. Tampa NOW make a $300 donation each year. Many members also make a donation to help. Please make your tax deductible contributions payable to:
