We’re More Determined Than Ever” – NOW President Christian F. Nunes’ Statement on Donald Trump’s Inauguration

Statement by National NOW President Christian F. Nunes

WASHINGTON -Today, we are inaugurating a new president, after much heated politics. NOW members remain committed to the issues that matter to our health, our economic security and our safety.

We can't go back-we won't go back! No matter what policies are put forward that threaten our safety, security and our future, NOW will be on the front lines to push back.

Since NOW's founding almost 60 years ago, our members have stayed on the front lines of the multi-issue fight for women's rights. Today, that means resistance to a culture of misogyny and toxic masculinity, and a permission structure for hate speech and discrimination.

We will resist policies that further restrict women's right to a full range of health care, including reproductive care and access to abortion; to an economy that doesn't leave them behind; and to protection from gender-based violence, including cyberbullying and online deepfakes.

We are more determined than ever to fuel the grassroots energy of women from every background, generation and political point of view, united by a common commitment to an intersectional feminist agenda.

A new president issues his own call to action today-and so do we. NOW members will stand true to our values, pursue our mission, and overcome obstacles-together.
