National Organization for Women Day - June 30th, 2025

June 30th, 2025: A Day to Celebrate the Power of Women!

Can you believe it's that time of the year again? National Organization for Women (NOW) Day is just around the corner, and we can't wait to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of women who have shaped our society. This year, on June 30th, 2025, we'll be honoring the rich history and continued struggle for women's rights.

But before we dive into the celebrations, let's take a step back and understand the significance of this day. The National Organization for Women was founded in 1966 by Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, and 47 other brave women who dared to challenge the status quo. These pioneers sought to end gender-based discrimination, promote equality, and empower women to take control of their lives. Over the years, NOW has become a powerful force in the fight for women's rights, tackling issues like reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice.

So, how do people celebrate National Organization for Women Day? Well, it's a day filled with activism, education, and community bonding. Across the country, NOW chapters and supporters organize rallies, marches, and workshops to raise awareness about the ongoing struggles of women. You'll see people of all ages and backgrounds coming together, sharing their stories, and demanding change.

One of the most powerful traditions of NOW Day is the reading of the 1966 NOW Statement of Purpose. This foundational document outlines the organization's vision for a society where women are treated as equals, and it serves as a powerful reminder of the progress we've made – and the work still to be done.

In addition to these events, many people celebrate NOW Day by supporting women-owned businesses, making donations to organizations that advocate for women's rights, and engaging in conversations with friends and family about the importance of gender equality. It's a day to celebrate the achievements of women who have paved the way for us, while also acknowledging the ongoing fight for true equality.

This year, make a commitment to yourself to get involved in your local NOW chapter or attend a NOW Day event in your area. You can also participate in online campaigns, using hashtags like #NOWDay and #WomenEmpowerment to spread the word about the importance of gender equality.

As we celebrate National Organization for Women Day, let's remember the words of Shirley Chisholm, a founding member of NOW and the first black woman elected to Congress: "If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair." On June 30th, 2025, let's bring our collective voices, passion, and determination to the table – and celebrate the power of women to create change!

So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and get ready to join the movement! National Organization for Women Day is a celebration of our collective strength, resilience, and determination to create a better world for all.
