Madison NOW to host karaoke fundraiser

The Madison chapter of the National Organization for Women — Madison NOW — is holding a fundraiser to support and expand its work. “Find Your Voice” will feature karaoke and feminist networking.

The National Organization for Women is the oldest and largest feminist organization in the country, and the Madison chapter has been active in the local community, particularly since the November election.

“We wanted to have a fun, informal event to get feminists talking to each other,” said Lindsay Lemmer, president of Madison NOW. “We’re an entirely volunteer-run group, but have printing costs, and many different event and outreach-related costs. Several of the bills coming through our state legislature pose a particularly dangerous risk to Wisconsin women, and we need to be ready. All profits from this event support our issue-based work advancing equal rights, reproductive justice, and engaging and empowering the local feminist community to stand up and fight back.”

“Find Your Voice: A Karaoke Fundraiser for the Madison Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW)” takes place July 26 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Nam’s Noodle & Karaoke Bar, 1336 Regent St. in Madison, with a suggested cover of $10 and a $2 suggested donation per song. Event details, including an option to make a donation in advance, are available at tinyurl.com/nowmadisonkaraoke.
