NWL Fall Tabling Events in Gainesville, FL

August 28, 2013 @ 8:00 am - September 19, 2013 @ 5:00 pm EDT

The Gainesville Chapter of National Women's Liberation will be tabling at the fall events listed below:

Women's Welcome Assembly, August 28, 2013, 7-9pm, Reitz Grand Ballroom, UF

  • 6:15pm-9:00pm

Labor Daze September 1, 2013, 5-10pm, Bo Diddley Plaza, downtown Gainesville

  • 3pm-5:30pm
  • 5:30pm-7:30pm
  • 7:30pm-10:00pm

Radical Rush at UF September 18-19, 11-2pm, Plaza of the Americas, UF

  • 10:30am-12:30pm
  • 12:30-2:00pm

At these tabling events, we'll be talking to women about how they can get involved with and join NWL, as well as talking about our upcoming fall organizing plans. The local chapter of NWL will be organizing against anti-woman and anti-abortion attacks. We have been reminded by Texas and North Carolina what kinds of legislation we will most likely face this fall, and our own Senator Marco Rubio has announced his plans to introduce a 20-week ban on abortions at the federal level. The right to birth control, including abortion, is a cornerstone of women’s freedom. Without an organized, strong, visible feminist movement making demands and keeping up the pressure, victories we’ve had on abortion, birth control, and health care will continue to be threatened. If we continue to lose ground, making new gains and going for more of the things that women really want and need will be next to impossible.

Please let us know if you're able to help by volunteering to join NWL organizers for a tabling shift or two. Contact Kendra Vincent at gainesvillewomensliberation@gmail.com or 352-575-0495.
