On Saturday, December 7th, Mass NOW members, board, and staff came together for the 56th Annual State Conference at the YWCA of Worcester.

It was wonderful to be in community with so many intersectional feminists doing the work every day in Massachusetts at Mass NOW’s Holiday Party on December 5th at Estella Restaurant in Downtown Crossing.

Yesterday we convened with our trans menstruating community to talk about experiences with periods, across and beyond the gender spectrum.

This is the second year in the 193rd Legislative session, and we have just a few more months before the formal session ends on July 31st. We wanted to share an update on our 70 endorsed legislation on our feminist agenda.

We have a vision for a world where menstrual products are considered a basic necessity and are available in all bathrooms, just like toilet paper. That's why we're partnering with community organizations, schools, state agencies and local governments to distribute all kinds of free menstrual products.

Last night we were joined by activists from across the state at the Menstrual Equity Consciousness Raising at the Boston Public Library!

We packed over 1,000 Aunt Flow menstrual products to donate to the Center for Supporting Immigrant Organizing in Boston. A special thank you to Boston City Councilor Gabriela Coletta, Kimtee Kindu from Harvard, and Lucy Dwyer from Lincoln for sharing some inspiring words with us last night.

As a member-led organization our goal is to be representative of the diverse, intersectional feminist community in Massachusetts

It’s time to put pedal to the metal for the I AM Bill. It’s been five months since the Senate unanimously passed the I AM Bill for the second legislative session and the House has yet to bring the bill to a vote. We know we have the support if brought to a vote, but some legislators are weary of adding ‘new costs’ to the budget

The 26th Annual International Women’s Day Breakfast was a record breaking day for feminists in Massachusetts. We had over 300 people join us at Simmons University and felt the love from the people watching online, wow! If you weren’t able to attend, stay tuned for the zoom recording.

Each year Mass NOW recognizes the work of one phenomenal feminist in our community at our annual event, the Feminist Affair. Mass NOW celebrates the work of individuals whose work reflects our values and mission of pursuing equity, acting for justice and building intersectional feminism in the Commonwealth.

It’s the second year in the 193rd Legislative session, and we have just a few more months before the formal session ends on July 31st. Now that we are on the other side of the Joint Rule 10 deadline for Committees to vote bills out favorably, we wanted to share an update on our 68 endorsed legislation on our feminist agenda.
