At 5:00 p.m. on August 26, 1970, thousands upon thousands of women took over Fifth Avenue in New York City--a powerful response to NOW's call for a Women's Strike for Equality. In a massive protest against women's unequal status, women across the country participated in the Strike. Unable to coordinate efforts across the country, NOW leaders encouraged women to "do your thing" in their communities. What did you do?
