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 NOW's 6 core issues:
- Constitutional Equality
- Reproductive Rights (including repeal
of all laws restricting safe, legal abortion)
- Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Rights
- Eliminating
Racism (including promoting racial and ethnic diversity)
- Freedom
From Violence
- Economic Justice (including 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.
