Contra Costa County (CA) NOW was founded in 1971 by four local women, Grace Blood, Susan (Seaborne) Bonner, Sally (Phettaplace) Johnson and Catherine Walters. Our primary issues include reproductive rights, marriage equality, ending violence against women, promoting equal opportunity for girls and women, and getting the Equal Rights Amendment added to the constitution. We meet 6 to 8 times per year, mostly virtual through Zoom. Usually we have a garden party sometime in May, June, or July and a holiday party in December. We are very proud of our 55-year activist history in our community. Come and join us and be involved!
