About NWPC South Bay
We are a multi-partisan organization that strives to win equality for all women; to ensure reproductive freedom; and to eradicate sexism, racism, anti-Semitism, ageism, violence, poverty, and discrimination on the basis of religion or sexual orientation.
NWPC was founded on July 11, 1971 when 320 women from 26 states met under the leadership of feminists such as Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem, and Betty Friedan.
