I'm shocked there isn't a chapter in my local (liberal) area.
But then again, the trans stuff might have pushed it out (women are so passe đđđ)
There are a lot of big cities without a chapter. The organization has helped retained chapters.

NOW skews older/middle aged women and they aren't super pro trans. It is more of a performative thing-- especially at the national level. There are a few chapters that are very liberal. But it skews more second wave-ish at most chapters.

No it is not. Because NOW is a membership based group where members vote for leadership.

The LGBTQIA+ page was rough to look through - virtually no mention of lesbians, which is especially rich given NOWâs infamous treatment of lesbians in the 60s đ€Ș Guess Iâll wear my lavender menace t-shirt at my first local chapter meeting, and âbe the changeâ or whatever
We NEED your voice at the national convention in July. Please consider attending virtually. The main reason there are few local chapters is that national stopped encouraging them. Feminist women built the organization and feminist women can change it. I think you will see more and more support of lesbians from the grassroots membership. But we need votes to make changes.

There seems to have been some infighting due to the trans issue.

There was indeed. We talked about it some here

Have there been any major updates on the situation of NOW leadership since August? I'm curious if Knotgonnalie was referring to that which was already discussed, or if something new has cropped up in recent months.
