For over 50 years Mass NOW has been one of the leading multi-issue, multi-strategy feminist organizations in the Commonwealth. Mass NOW’s mission is to pursue equity, act for justice, and build intersectional feminism in the Commonwealth. 

The Mass NOW Consciousness Raising Training is a one hour webinar to learn about Mass NOW, our legislative agenda and how you can become a Consciousness Raising host to convene feminists in your community!  

Agenda:
6:00 Welcome Introductions
6:20 About Mass NOW 
6:25 Consciousness Raisings 
6:30 Legislation Overview 
6:50 Q & A 

Mass NOW was born over 50 years ago in the tradition of Consciousness Raisings. This is where we turn the personal to political. 

Consciousness Raisings are small group discussions where we both learn about one of Mass NOW’s priority bills & how you can take action as well as how these issues impact our everyday lives. No experience is necessary. Often people leave Consciousness Raisings feeling like they’ve been able to connect with a diverse and local feminist community in their neighborhood they didn’t even know existed and channel their anger into action – here on the local and state level.
