Jacksonville NOW
Political Action Committee (PAC)
Why a PAC?
In August 2020 Jacksonville NOW established a Political Committee in order to donate funds to progressive candidates competing in Local and State elections. This enabled us to give crucial financial support to our endorsed candidates.
How do we choose candidates?
The Jax NOW PAC contacts all candidates in a given race and asks them to complete a comprehensive questionnaire. We then review all responses to determine which candidate's responses are consistent with NOW’s priority issues. The amount of the donation is governed by state regulations (sorry, we cannot donate to federal elections) and the size of our treasury.

Donations are critical!
We need to elect legislators who represent our thinking, our priorities, and our needs! But that takes $$$ to fund their campaigns. Your donations will help to ensure progressive candidates are successful. You can mail your check to
