--- Featuring Click the Name to access the Segment below 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host of Women's Spaces 2. Christian Nunes , President, National Organization for Women (National) ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: Joining me on the phone this morning will be Christian Nunes who is the President for the National Organization for Women. Christian will be joining me from Washington DC. As the grassroots arm of the women’s movement, the National Organization for Women is dedicated to its multi-issue and multi-strategy approach to women’s rights and is the largest organization of feminist grassroots activists in the United States. NOW has hundreds of chapters and hundreds of thousands of members and activists in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. On April 27, 2023, via Zoom The National Organization for Women (NOW) presented, The Feminist State of the Union. We are now going to play an interview that was done by our guest Christian Nunes during the event with former First Lady, Hilary Rodham Clinton. The interview is 19 minutes long. ----
Hillary Rodham Clinton in her
interview with Christian
Nunes
encouraged activism by taking
responsibility and joining up
with like-minded people in
groups, of which there are many
opportunities. She notes that in
achieving economic justice women
face the internal barriers of
low self-esteem exacerbated by
social media and the external
barriers such as pay differences
from those of men and lack of
day-care for mothers of
children. She feels that the
SCOTUS Dobbs Decision striking
down Row v. Wade will mobilize a
new generation of activists and
that the ERA fight must continue
with voting out the Republicans
obstructing its passage. With
all the opportunities don't
lapse into hopelessness. She is
glad the Biden/Harris candidacy
has been announced, as she feels
they have policies good for
women.
---- 2. Our Guest Christian Nunes shares the influences on her path to becoming the President of the National Organization for Women (NOW). She discusses with our host Elaine the kernels of the 2023 Feminist State of the Union sponsored by NOW. Overall the message was fight and not back down, and acting collectively is more powerful. Women are encouraged to be aware of the issues that speak deeply to them and to look for groups addressing those issue and become involved. NOW has embraced intersectionalism, that recognizes that the different rights sought by women dovetail with those seeking racial justice, gender justice, and economic justice. Christian encourages women to join NOW through a local chapter or via their website https://now.org/ . NOW is the largest feminist organization in the nation, with more than 500,000 contributing members. NOW has more than 500 local and campus affiliates in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. These affiliates include chapters and Campus Action Networks. As a member a woman has this encouragement and clout to speak up for justice. Elaine noted as a member of NOW that she felt that encouragement of the large organization of like-minded feminists as she spearheaded that effort for the California NOW to publish a statement in response to Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's insulting remarks to the President of the American Federation of Teachers discounting her motherhood role as a partner to a lesbian with an adopted child. Christine Nunes concluded that she hopeful that women of all ages will take up or continue the fight for victory, as they recognize and are strengthened standing on the shoulders of women activists who came before them.
