the bio of Kim Gandy at the National Organization for Women Website
"As President of NOW, Gandy also
chairs NOW's Foundation and Political Action Committees and serves as
the organization's principal spokesperson. Gandy oversees NOW's initiatives
and campaigns, including: NOW's Women-Friendly Workplace campaign; the
Campus Action Network, Young Feminist Task Force, Racial Diversity Program,
Save the Courts Initiative and Equal Marriage Campaign."
"Gandy
also launched a nationwide campaign to educate women on the dangers
of Social Security privatization. She was at the center of the first
anti-privatization coalition, formed in 2004 with a small cadre of progressive
organizations."
"In
her second term Gandy is focusing on the Supreme Court, including the
battle over George W. Bush's court nominees. As the leader of a multi-issue
organization, Gandy recognizes the broad impact the Supreme Court has
on reproductive rights, affirmative action, sex and race discrimination,
violence against women, family and medical leave, lesbian rights and
other civil rights protections."
"Since
1991, Gandy has led the fight against anti-abortion terrorists in NOW
v. Scheidler, the landmark racketeering case against clinic violence.
The case, in litigation for two decades, reached the Supreme Court for
the third time in November 2005."
"A
long-time activist, Gandy has served NOW at the local, state and national
level since 1973, including three years as Louisiana NOW President.
She was elected to the NOW National Board in 1982 and held the position
of Mid-South Regional Director for four years before being elected to
national office."
