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….

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.

SUMMARY:Gainesville\, A Flashpoint of Feminist Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Carol Giardina’s talk\, Gainesville\, a Flashpoint of Feminist Revolution\, will reveal Gainesville’s hidden history in the movement’s cutting edge breakthroughs. This free event in Ustler Hall on UF campus opens with a reception and book signing with the author at 4:30pm. Carol’s book\, Freedom for Women\, Forging the Women’s Liberation Movement 1959-1970 will be on sale there. Her talk follows at 5:30pm.\n\nCarol began making referrals for then-illegal abortions in 1963 from her freshman dormitory at UF. By 1968\, with Judith Brown\, she co-founded Gainesville Women’s Liberation (GWL)\, the first women’s liberation group in the South and was representing GWL in the Miss America Pageant Protest in Atlantic City\, NJ – the demonstration that put the movement on the world’s radar as beauty contest protests swept small towns and world capitals. Fired her from State job and blacklisted as “unemployable\,” she was told that the protest had been entered on her “permanent record.” She joined a core of movement founders that developed and spread radical feminist theory. Carol continues to work for the feminist revolution today in the uncompromising “go for what we really want” spirit of the Sixties.\n\nCarol Giardina is the author of Freedom for Women: Forging the Women’s Liberation Movement (2010)\, and one of  the founding organizers of National Women’s Liberation.\n\n\n1968 Miss America Pageant Protest.

SUMMARY:6th Annual Roe v. Wade Anniversary Show and NWL Benefit
DESCRIPTION:Join National Women’s Liberation in an epic celebration of the power of organizing by celebrating the 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision with bands\, DJs\, local community groups\, guerilla theatre and a silent auction! Proceeds will benefit the organizing work of National Women’s Liberation. \nDJs: Kelly Kochis & Mike Goston \nBands: Routines & Glitter Whiskey \nAll Ages Show! \nOur right to reproductive justice has been consistently under attack ever since the Roe v. Wade decision. Many believe it was solely this decision (via the Supreme Court) that gave us the right to abortion in the U.S. when in reality it was the years of struggle and organizing and bold demands by ordinary people that won us the right to abortion. \nCome learn more about why we need to keep fighting\, not only to preserve Roe\, but to push for free and full access to all forms of birth control. Enjoy great music\, hear from other local groups fighting for justice\, and bid on amazing silent auction prizes\, all while financially supporting the movement!

SUMMARY:Families Belong Together
DESCRIPTION:We are only as strong as our collective communities. \nJoin us this Saturday to protest family separation and detention at our southern border\, the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Trump’s white supremacist Muslim Ban\, the erosion of decades of law that established domestic violence as a reason for women to seek asylum\, and ICE’s unrelenting and unrestrained attacks on immigrant communities of color. \nDuring a time when civil and human rights are generally under attack\, it is clear that the Trump administration\, its courts\, and law enforcement agencies are focusing with laser precision on Muslims\, Black and Latinx people\, and immigrant communities of color. These recent actions by the 1% keep power at the top: the billionaire class dilutes the power of the people by terrorizing marginalized groups and decimating our communities. \nEven those of us who aren’t targeted directly suffer from the government’s actions; we are being divided when we need to be fighting together for our freedom. Trump’s opportunity to appoint another justice to the Supreme Court makes it even more urgent for us to stand together against injustice and oppression. \nThe preservation of all liberation movements in the US hinges on our ability to act together. We must mobilize\, organize\, and stand with each other at this moment and in the difficult moments that are sure to follow. \nWe must fight together for our liberation; we must fight together until we win. \nJoin us this Saturday as we mobilize with our sisters and brothers in struggle. Look here to find a #FamiliesBelongTogether rally and protest near you. \nNYC \nFamilies Belong Together Rally and March\, NYC \nFoley Square @ 10AM \nNWL NYC will meet at 9:45AM at the northwest corner of Reade St and Lafayette St (in front of the Municipal Credit Union). Look for the NWL banner and t-shirts! \n  \nGainesville\, FL \nFamilies Belong Together Rally and March\, Alachua County \nCity Hall @ 5PM \nNWL GNV will meet at 5PM at the base of the clock tower at the corner of East University Ave and NE First St. Look for the NWL banner and t-shirts!

The Rape Documentary.  In light of the the #metoo movement (started by a black woman)\, along with the exposure of rampant sexual abuses by men in power\, the timing seems ripe for women of color to discuss rape and sexual assault.
