Title: Maryland National Organization for Women

URL: http://marylandnow.org/

Description: Archived website of the Maryland National Organization for Women. The National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in 1966 to advocate for women's economic, political, and social equality through education, fundraising, lawsuits, legislative lobbying, protests, and rallies. The Maryland Chapter of NOW was established in 1972 under the leadership of Casey Anne Hughes. The state organization coordinated activities in support of national actions such as campaigning for the ERA as well as supporting involvement in state and local politics. Beginning in the late 1970s, the state council raised funds to pay for a NOW lobbyist in Annapolis, charged with keeping NOW's concerns for women's economic and political rights and, particularly, access to reproductive health care and birth control before the legislature and with keeping NOW members informed about current bills that affected women's issues. The Maryland NOW website includes information about its mission, bylaws, chapters, officers, political action committee (PAC), issues, campaigns, opportunities for participation, resources, and events. The site also hosts a news and opinion blog.
