Book & Film Recommendations for February 2025

NOW has six core missions we focus on: Constitutional Equality, Reproductive Rights & Justice, Racial Justice, LGBTQIA+ Rights, Economic Justice, and Ending Violence Against Women.

In February, in honor of Black History Month, we are focusing on Racial Justice.
