National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS)

The National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS) is an activist organization of men and women supporting positive changes for men. NOMAS advocates a perspective that is pro-feminist, gay-affirmative, anti-racist, and committed to justice on a broad range of social issues including class, age, religion, and physical abilities. We affirm that working to make this nation's ideals of equality for all people a reality is the finest expression of what it means to be men. We believe that the new opportunities becoming available to women and men through the feminist movement will be beneficial to both. Men can become happier and more fulfilled human beings by challenging the old-fashioned roles of masculinity that embody the assumption of male superiority. As an organization for changing men, we care about men and are especially concerned with men's problems, as well as the difficult issues in most men's lives.
