The Philadelphia Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) cordially invites you to the Annual Spring Fundraiser and Awards Ceremony on Thursday, May 3rd from 5:30-7:30 PM at District 1199C Union Hall, 1319 Locust Street, 2nd FL, Philadelphia, PA 19107.

This year, we are honoring Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR)’s Monique Howard, Community Leader Jackie Wiggins, and Activist Maria Serna as leaders within our great city working toward the empowerment of women of all ages through advocacy, grassroots organizing, and impactful action.

Despite the many gains made in the last half century, much remains to be done to ensure the promise of equal opportunity for all women – and much is at stake under our country’s new administration. Philadelphia NOW is engaged in working to realize a broad vision of progress for women and their families which is predicated on intersectionality and inclusion. Our priority areas include promoting constitutional equality and combating systemic racism, advocating for economic security (increasing the minimum wage, paid sick leave, closing the wage gap, for women, targeted policy and systems changes that can impact assets and wealth); agitating for reproductive justice; pushing for common sense immigration reform and fighting for LGBTQ rights.

Please join us for an exciting evening with live entertainment, food and drink, and inspirational words from our honorees. Tickets are $50. With the collective efforts of your generous support and the volunteer efforts of members, much can be accomplished to further women’s rights. We hope to continue and build upon our momentum from this past year through 2018.

We appreciate your support and look forward to celebrating with you on the 3rd!
