No retreat on affirmative action
Article Abstract:
The National Organization for Women (NOW) is all set to save affirmative action programs, that provide fair opportunities to women and people of color, from being abolished. Women and people of color still have no access to top positions in the Fortune 500 companies, which provide much better salaries compared to other companies. The NOW President and Vice President are touring California, Oregon, and Washington to get students involved in the Fight to Right March for preserving affirmative action and protecting the civil rights of all people.
