COVID 19 Protocols

As we prepare to convene in Atlanta, Georgia for our 2026 Annual Conference, NWSA leadership affirms our organizational commitment to the feminist position that those most impacted by any particular system of oppression are best situated and equipped to guide us in our efforts to transform and survive it. Although the federal government officially ended the Covid-19 public health emergency on May 11th of 2023, we recognize that “the end” of the pandemic merely signaled a new level of state abandonment.
