Macy is a strong defender of women’s rights
NOW PAC, the member-supported political action committee of the National Organization for Women (NOW), announced today it was endorsing Beth Macy for Virginia’s 6th Congressional District.
“I am grateful for NOW PAC’s support and endorsement for my campaign,” Macy said. “NOW has long fought for women’s rights, and I will take that fight all the way to Capitol Hill. I stand shoulder to shoulder with NOW in protecting reproductive rights, ending violence against women, bringing racial and economic justice to women everywhere, protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people and creating a fairer economic system that treats women as equals.”
NOW PAC leaders say that Macy understands the importance of this election for women.
“This election isn’t abstract for women – it’s personal. Our rights are being stripped away day by day, and the answer is simple – elect feminist candidates who won’t back down,” said Kim Villanueva, chair of NOW PAC. “Beth Macy knows what matters most to women – our economic security, protecting our healthcare, and ensuring equality. By electing her as U.S. Representative from Virginia’s 6th Congressional District, we will protect what matters most to women.”
NOW PAC is the political arm of NOW, the largest grassroots feminist organization in the country, with hundreds of chapters and thousands of supporters, members, and activists in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. For the past 60 years, NOW’s aggressive grassroots organizing and early support for feminist candidates has made a difference in critical elections.
NOW PAC is funded solely by its grassroots membership and evaluates federal candidates based on their record on NOW’s core issues: constitutional equality, ending violence against women, economic justice, LGBTQIA+ justice, racial justice, and reproductive justice.
