Sharing what NOW posted.
We mourn the loss of Renee Good and extend our solidarity to her family and all those affected by this act of violence.

#Women are frequently at the forefront of resistance movements, providing leadership and courage while facing disproportionate levels of state violence.

When transfolx are being attacked by the federal government, we cannot be silent. The actions of one mass shooter should never result in an entire group of people being vilified. Monroe County NOW Supports ALL women. Period. #womensrights #humanrights #monroecountynow

The National Organization for Women stands with the queer community as it is attacked under the current administration. All people should be free to live their own life as they please, and attempts to restrict people's autonomy is unacceptable.

NOW has always been committed to a vision of society without violence against women, which Monroe County NOW is proud to fight for today. Ending violence against women requires taking our efforts into our homes, communities, and streets, as the issue pervades the many parts of our lives.

The National Organization for Women has a history of promoting economic justice, which Monroe County NOW is proud to continue today. Economic justice is a multifaceted issue, including equal opportunities and outcomes for women, while at the same time demanding better quality of life for all.

The National Organization for Women has a history of promoting reproductive justice, which Monroe County NOW is proud to continue today. We are at a low point in this fight, but this means we need to return to our legacy of collective action to expand our rights and provide for ourselves.
