Minnesota
NOW Political Action Committee
Affirmative Action Statement
Adopted
by the Minnesota NOW State Board 4/25/98
The
goals of the Minnesota NOW Political Action Committee, hereafter
referred to as the "PAC", are to:
- Elect
strong feminists, both women and men, to public office,
and
- Change
the make-up of our government from mostly white and male
to a government that more accurately reflects the make-up
of our society as a whole.
To achieve
these goals we will seek out, encourage and support women
as well as people of color as candidates in all areas of the
state and in all state and local offices.
Without
ever compromising our commitment to our 6 core issues:
- ratification
of an unamended Equal Rights Amendment
- repeal
of all laws restricting safe, legal abortion
- protection
of lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender civil rights
- eliminating
racism
- freedom
from violence
- opposition
to punitive welfare reform
we affirm
that feminist leadership be recognized not only through traditional
"women's" organizations, but also in the community
and the workplace.
