Sunday, July 23, 2017, 1pm – 3pm (RSVP here)

NWL office: 200 NE 1st Street, Suite 201 (entrance from the back garage). Gainesville, FL 32601

Does America have the best health care system? Why is health care a feminist issue? What can we learn from other countries that have universal health care?

This will be the first in a series of discussions on the topic of national health care. Please read ahead and come with your thoughts, questions, and experiences.

Also we will get some National Women's Liberation chapter work done in the meeting and help you figure out a role organizing in NWL if you are looking to get more involved.
