Asheville, Regional and State Partners

Asheville NOW enjoys partnering with local, regional, state and national organizations with common issue bases to maximize resources and create impact through events and actions.

• Asheville Rising: The global "Rising" event in February 2013 led to an empowered live event to draw awareness to the need to End Violence Against Women through multiple partnerships and collaborations. This event was followed by a series of "talk back" sessions where invested activists could share viewpoints and consider options. Hundreds of women and women's supporters attended the event.

• National Paid Sick Days Partnership for Women and Families
