READ THIS: "At July's National Conference, NOW members resolved to create a national action campaign, initially targeting California, to
combat attempts to dismantle affirmative action. The campaign will focus on presidential candidates as well as state and federal
initiatives on affirmative action. It will include a mass action in California in 1996. NOW's national board passed a similar resolution in May. Following the May resolution, NOW President Patricia Ireland
swept both coasts of the country, speaking out at affirmative action coalition kickoffs in New York, Pennsylvania and
California." Author: S. Hollon...........I think NOW's got it right. We need more grassroots and public interest efforts in the fight to keep A.A. What other localized, pro-Affirmative Action efforts are out there?? I'd like to start tracking them. Thanks - Steph
