Dear Women's Rights Activists,

With abortion as a litmus test of this year's election, Greater Boston
NOW is calling all progressive activists to counter the
forces of the anti-choice movement. Reproductive rights are
threatened both here in Massachussets and back in your home states.
Don't lose your right to choose! We must join forces to preserve
and extend women's reproductive rights.

Upcoming events include:

 * Monthly clinic visibilities in Brookline. On the second Saturday of
each month we meet in front of 1031 Beacon St, Brookline  (8:15 am;
Green Line C to St. Mary's stop). Every month over 100 anti-choice
demonstrators intimidate and harrass women in front of the clinics, and
we continue our successful counter-protests, helping to ensure access to
the clinics and showing our support for those who exercise their right
to choose.

 * October demonstration in front of area hospitals which are not currently
 providing comprehensive reproductive health care.

 * December action to oppose the violent rhetoric and actions that continue
to fuel the climate that resulted in the murder of two women at
the Brookline clinics in 1994.

The local chapter of the National Organization for Women maintains
its visible history of fighting for reproductive rights and all
other women's issues. Our all volunteer organization strives
to maintain a multi-strategy approach to women's rights, lobbying
for feminist legislation and engaging in grassroot educational
campaigns as well as direct actions.

Work with us!

  * Join us at the Reproductive Rights Task Force meetings held on the
second Tuesday of each month at 7 pm at the NOW Office, 971
Commonwealth Ave, (Green Line B to Pleasant St).

  * Join us at the NOW Open House on the first Wednesday of each month
at 7pm to learn about NOW's other activities.

  * Put us on your mailing list.

  * Call us about any events you are organizing. 

  * NOW's Web page is at 
    http://www.cybercom.net/~hypatia/now/now.html 
    and we can list your events there too.

 We look forward to working with you in the fight for women's rights!
