Join NOW's Young Feminist Task Force

If you are a young feminist (age 30 or younger) who is interested in joining NOW's Young Feminist Task Force, please email chairwoman Zoe Bardon at ZoeBardon@gmail.com to learn more.

There will be a national welcome/introduction call on Sunday, January 13 at 4pm EST.
This group offers a way to be involved especially if you can't participate in the traditional structure due to your personal schedule and/or location.... hence an online format to participate that speaks to your specific feminist interests.

Where to find New Orleans NOW people!

If you want to reach out to the New Orleans NOW community (especially if you live anywhere from Jefferson Parish to the East New Orleans and on the Westbank, too), here are the best ways to find out more and meet like-minded people.

New Orleans NOW Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/New-Orleans-NOW/

We definitely try to make our members and supporters aware of what is available to the feminist community in the New Orleans area, so feel free to join the conversation. All feminists are welcomed! Be proud of your membership in and support of the National Organization for Women!

We are the oldest multi-issue women's organization in the country founded in 1966 and we appreciate your interest. We wouldn't be here without you!

Louisiana NOW chapters coming to a city near you!

We are excited to report that Louisiana is seeing growth in our chapter numbers. We have two entirely new chapters coming online already in 2017 in Monroe and Ruston-Grambling!

Our goal this year is to make sure that all of our members who live in and close to these represented cities will be affiliated with the chapter nearest them so they easily collaborate locally.

Take a look at the list to find which chapter will serve you best: (emails for the newer chapters will be added soon!)


Baton Rouge:  LA0116  (batonrougenow@gmail.com)

Monroe: LA0200

New Orleans:  LA0300  (nolanow504@gmail.com)
