Brevard NOW is strongly committed to reproductive freedom, equality among the races and sexes, and LGBT equality. We also advocate peace, tolerance, and complete sex education in our community.
Less than a year since being reorganized, the Brevard chapter of NOW become one of the fastest growing chapters in the state of Florida. More than just another chapter, our diverse group of men and women, young and old, has become a closely-knit family of dedicated human rights advocates. Our family is growing larger everyday and is becoming ever-more vigilant in the pursuit of justice.
In 2005 our group held numerous demonstrations, a Proud to Be Pro-Choice sign waiving event; helped organize a massive peace demonstration (nearly 300 people attended) on September 24th; led the local effort to Stop John Roberts from being confirmed; tabled for Equal Marriage Rights. We also done numerous showings of important social films including the Vagina Monologues, Iron Jawed Angles, Kinsey, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, and Boys Don’t Cry.
We also hold monthly Pro-Choice mixers every fourth Tuesday of the month from 5:30 to 7pm at On Tap in downtown Melbourne.
