Who?

The first question that came to my mind when doing research on NOW was who runs the organization and other staff. National Organization for Women have different chapters in each state, and within the states there are members. Each member of each chapter serves to help women in the society. Most/If not all of the people who work there are women, because it is easier and more comfortable for the women in need to call in a talk to another woman. There are 4 NOW Officers- one president and 3 vice presidents(each work with each other, but help in different areas of the organization. http://www.now.org/officers/ . At NOW there are call centers in which people can come in and take calls. There are also job openings, internships, and volunteers to help with various meetings and rallys. There are different groups in terms of what issues the women may have, but there is no form of discrimination for race or ethnicity/gender/class. All of the groups interact with each other when it comes to having rallys to bring awareness of the problems women face in society. Each groups defines the organization as a way to get awareness out there to women who are being harmed. The goal is to bring awareness and help as many women as possible so there won't be so much suffering.

There is light at the end of every dark tunnel- and NOW is there to help!
