SUMMARY:Abortion Rights Now: Third General Meeting of 2021
DESCRIPTION:*RSVP on Eventbrite* \nIn light of the current court cases in Texas and Mississippi\, NWL will be devoting this month’s general meeting to a discussion of the current state of our fight for abortion rights. There will be brief presentations on the Texas case\, the Mississippi case\, the REMS restrictions on the abortion pill\, and the Women’s Health Protection Act currently before congress\, followed by a discussion on how our organizing should proceed. \nThe Women’s March is calling for nationwide marches in defense of our reproductive rights on October 2nd\, right before the Supreme Court reconvenes. NWL will have a presence at the New York and Florida marches; we will send you more details as they become available. \nFor more discussion on how we should fight for abortion rights\, NWL member Jenny Brown (author of Birth Strike and Without Apology) has written a piece for Jacobin magazine – It’s Time for Abortion Rights Activists to Push a Federal Abortion Rights Law. \n“To listen to the pundits\, you’d think there’s nothing that can be done. But our reproductive freedom is not at the mercy of this unelected panel of anti-abortion justices. In fact\, Congress could pass a law making abortion legal and available throughout the United States\, and there’s not much the Supreme Court or the Texas legislature could do about it.”

SUMMARY:Protest: Say NO to Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle
DESCRIPTION:No Nazis at UF\, Dream Defenders\, #ChompTrump\, GAU and many other groups are protesting UF’s financial support of white supremacists.\n\nNew Location: Meet NWLers\, Oct 10th starting at 5:00pm in Turlington Plaza (at “The Potato” landmark) to march with other community activists to the event venue.\n\nDemands released by No Nazis at UF include:\n\nCancel the event and refuse a platform to any future speakers who will not publicly acknowledge the link between the Trump administration and far-right terrorism. Specifically\, the University must do its job to vet speakers who are part of this linkage.\nACCENT Speakers Bureau no longer serves the majority of the UF community in a constructive way. We demand the defunding of ACCENT Speakers Bureau\, who have continuously sponsored right-wing speakers such as Ben Shapiro.1 The misallocation of funds is emblematic of a much larger problem at UF whereby students do not have democratic control over their fees and tuition. The allocation of student government funds must do more than reflect the diversity of UF’s student body; it must actively repair and amend the on-campus conditions which resulted in an “F” from the USC Race Equity Center and which contribute to the marginalization of students of color and queer students….

SUMMARY:Birth Strike Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Gainesville chapter of National Women’s Liberation (NWL) is hosting a Birth Strike Book Club\, which will meet the second Tuesday of the month from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. starting in May and and ending in October of 2019: \n\nMay 14\nJune 11\nJuly 9\nAugust 13\nSeptember 10\nOctober 8\n\nJoin us to study and discuss NWL organizer Jenny Brown’s newest book\, Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight over Women’s Work\, which is born of many years of feminist research\, organizing by both NWL and Redstockings\, and dues-paying NWL members who made the writing possible. \n\nFeminists generally believe that a prudish religious bloc is responsible for the protracted fight over reproductive freedom in the U.S. and that politicians only attack abortion and birth control to appeal to those “values voters.” But hidden behind this conventional explanation is a dramatic fight over women’s reproductive labor. On one side\, elite policymakers want an expanding workforce reared with a minimum of employer spending and a maximum of unpaid women’s work. On the other side\, women are refusing to produce children at levels desired by economic planners. By some measures\, our birth rate is the lowest it has ever been. With little access to childcare\, family leave\, and health care\, and with insufficient male participation\, U.S. women are conducting a spontaneous birth strike. \n\nVisit the Facebook event at http://bit.ly/birthstrikebookclub and RSVP to get your study guide and join National Women’s Liberation! Together\, not only will we read and discuss these important theories behind the connection between the feminist fight for reproductive rights and our demand for better conditions when we do have children\, but we will also analyze how these ideas hold up against our own experiences. (RSVP not required but encouraged) \n\nVisit pmpress.org to get your copy of Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight over Women’s Work! \n\n*Childcare will be provided upon request.* \n**Meetings are open to all self-identified women.**

SUMMARY:Blue Light Protest!
DESCRIPTION:Frat Row on UF Campus\n\nIn April\, the UF Student Government Senate had the opportunity to support a resolution that could have facilitated the implementation of blue lights along Frat Row. The resolution did not pass\, mostly because the Judiciary Committee refused to approve the bill for consideration before the whole Senate. They cited their belief that the fraternity presidents should have been consulted with about the legislation. However\, we believe a blue light would be a benefit to all residents of the area.\n\nThe bill was then considered under special rules on the Senate floor\, and shockingly\, the vote culminated in a tie. The Senate President\, who was listed as a sponsor on the bill\, cast the tie-breaking vote to fail this resolution.\n\nJoin us on September 17th at 5 pm as we demand the expansion of campus safety by protesting for the installation of blue lights along Frat Row.
