NOW-NYC's Companies
The National Organization for Women New York City, New York US
We are proud to be the founding chapter of NOW. Since 1966 we have worked to advance women's rights and improve the quality of life for women.
Through education, public-awareness campaigns and lobbying, we work towards creating a culture in which diversity flourishes. We also work to improve access to reproductive freedom and other women's health issues, dismantle racism and bigotry against lesbians and gays through education; and end domestic violence, sexual violence and trafficking of women with stronger laws and better policing. We work to create social change through activism, lobbying and education.
NOW-NYC's sister agency, the Service Fund 501(c) (3), is one of New York City's most active and important charities. The Service Fund has been serving women in NYC for the past 25 years. Whether a woman seeks divorce and custody legal advice, or is a victim of sexual assault, the Service Fund connects women to NOW-NYC programs and clinics and other agencies that serve women in need. Especially in desperate or dangerous situations, such as domestic violence or stalking, women need a place they can turn to for immediate assistance. Hundreds of women call the Service Fund every year seeking information and help.

Who I'd like to meet: Powerful women and men who want to join in the movement to bring equality to women in our society.
Seeking information on NYC Police Officer Shaquana Moore
No one should be invisible or forgotten. I ran into Shaquana Moore's name on a list of NYC officers who have died, and although it appears she died just a little over a year ago, there is no obituary or evidence on the internet what happened to her or who her people are.
I'd like to know, and maybe do something to make her life known.
Here is where I first saw her:

Thank you for including me in your circle of friends...I am honored. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything that I can do to contribute. "...why be an average person? All the great achievements of history have been made by strong individuals who refused to consult statistics or to listen to those who could prove convincingly that what they wanted to do, and in fact ultimately did do, was completely impossible."
~ Eric Butterworth, 20th Century Spiritual Teacher from Spiritual Economics
Love that.
Why be average?
Don’t consult stats or experts.
Follow your heart.
Do what you’re here to do.

What do you think of these newly discovered crime scene photos (viewed at Abu-Jamal-News.com)?
I have been personally contacting every media outlet I could find and still the mainstream media has completely ignored the story. Many independent media outlets have covered it, but the only independent outlet that has actually published one of the photos is the national Black newspaper, The SF Bay View (click here).
This is just the latest episode in a long history of corporate media bias (and arguably racism) towards Mumia and other political prisoners.
