March for Women’s Lives, April 25, 2004

Events from the past have helped shaped Palm Beach County NOW’s identity today.

Click the links below to read more about significant dates:

  • March for Women’s Lives, DC April 25, 2004 personal account by Natalie Andre
  • 1848 Declaration of Sentiments
  • 1998 Declaration of Sentiments of the National Organization for Women, signed by many, including Sheila Jaffe, Bob Jaffe and Natalie Andre
  • 1993 editorial by then president Sheila Jaffe–again our president, 2018 and again, same issues!  Note from Sheila:  Judith Hasner, who transferred into our chapter recently, served with me on the original PBC Commission on the Status of Women. In 1993, Commissioner Mary McCarty stated that this commission on the status of women could be disbanded because NOW was so successful.  Melissa McKinlay, current Commissioner/Mayor of PBC wants to reactivate it.

Sonia Pressman Fuentes has an amazing amount of archives.  Here are just two of them:
