“At this pivotal time leading up to the 2020 election cycle, it’s critical to support equality and women’s rights, and to demand that our elected representatives do the same. The national NOW conference is an enormous opportunity to for our community to reaffirm these values and strengthen a coalition for action,” said Lizzy Hoke, Key West NOW president.
