Award Winners 2020 – Bri Sharkey-Smith & Kathleen Murphy

Minnesota NOW is proud to present the Feminist of the Year Award to Bri-Sharkey Smith and the Charlotte Striebel Long Distance Runner Award to M. Kathleen Murphy!

Just because our State Conference was cancelled this year doesn’t mean that we forgot about all the wonderful activists who made the 2019/2020 MN NOW Calendar bursting with feminist action. We honor two talented women who have been especially effective and given generously of their time and talents for the benefit of us all. Please take the time to read about their accomplishments in the attached documents: Feminist of The Year and Long Distance Runner.

MN NOW’s State Conference 2020 Postponed

MN NOW’S 2020 State Conference was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a difficult decision and one that the MN NOW Board felt was in the best interests of all registrants. We prepared an electronic ballot for officers, board delegates and our proposed bylaw changes. Access the ballot here: Election Ballot. Ballots can be e-mailed or mailed and are requested to be returned by May 24, 2020.
