Florida NOW Represents at National NOW Conference in San Jose, CA

Some of the Florida NOW members at National in San Jose, CA

Florida NOW was well represented recently at the National NOW Conference in San Jose, CA. There were 15 members attending from Florida – that’s amazing for a Conference completely across the country. It was a fantastic conference with amazing speakers, great workshops and inspiring conversations with NOW members from all over the country.

There was much discussion as well as a resolution to support the ERA by getting it ratified by the final state (let’s make it Florida!), elect those supportive of the ERA in Congress and oppose any Supreme Court nominee who doesn’t support rescinding the ratification deadline. We will have a follow up specifically with steps we are taking to get the ERA ratified. But the most important thing is to change the Florida Legislature by electing supportive candidates!

9 out of 10 women will use birth control at some point in their lives. Contraception shouldn’t be controversial.
