Our chapter welcomes new members to help fight for women’s rights on the local and national level.
WHO WE
ARE
The Northeast Texas National Organization for Women is made up of students, business owners, technical professionals, stay-at-home parents, grandparents… All kinds of folks. (Yes, even men!)
We celebrate diversity and welcome everyone who is passionate about gender equality and wants to work with us to achieve it.
Together we make up one of over 500 chapters of grassroots feminist activists working together and fighting for justice in their local communities.
We work to eliminate discrimination and harassment in the workplace, schools, the justice system, and all other sectors of society; secure abortion, birth control and reproductive justice for all women; end all forms of violence against women; eradicate racism, sexism and homophobia; and promote equality and justice in our society.

WORKS TO ELIMINATE
HISTORY
The Northeast National Organization for Women (NETNOW) is a Texas Chapter of the National Organization for Women.
National Organization for Women has been leading the feminist movement since our founding in 1966! We TAKE ACTION to promote feminist ideals, lead societal change, eliminate discrimination, and achieve equal rights for all women and girls.
As the largest grassroots feminist organization in the United States, NOW is dedicated to a multi-issue approach to women’s rights. NOW has hundreds of chapters and hundreds of thousands of members in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
NOW is the time to get involved and join us!
ISSUES
Reproductive Rights
NOW was the first national organization to endorse legal abortion in 1967. We support affordable birth control, safe and legal abortion, repealing the Hyde Amendment, challenge fake clinics that masquerade as real medical care, and call for a reduction of unacceptably high maternal mortality rates. Abortion is on the Ballot, EVERY TIME.
Racial
Justice
NOW condemns the institutional racism that causes a double burden of both gender and racial discrimination for women of color. A civil rights leader since 1966, NOW fights for equal rights for women of color in all areas including housing, employment, education, voting rights, and healthcare
