SUMMARY:Women Strike
DESCRIPTION:STRIKE to protest Trump\, Pence\, and the Republican Congress’ ANTI-WOMAN Agenda \nNO WORK\, PAID OR UNPAID \nSign the pledge and share it with your friends: womenstrike.org \n  \nWhy did National Women’s Liberation call a women’s strike for the inauguration? \nWomen had many good reasons to strike before this election\, but now we have a president-elect who openly disrespects and assaults women\, and wants to limit our roles to servant\, mother\, or sexual plaything. This strike comes from anger at men in our lives who didn’t vote\, or who voted for Trump\, or who aren’t taking seriously the threat that his presidency represents. And it is a reaction to an election campaign that-apart from Bernie Sanders in the primary-ignored the universal programs that women and all people need\, and that work well in so many other countries\, from paid family leave to childcare to national health care. \nThe Democrats didn’t pursue these plans when they could have\, and now the Republican-majority Congress is promising to cut\, undermine\, privatize\, or eliminate every social contract from public schools to Medicare to Social Security. They expect the family (that is\, WOMEN) to fill in the gaps and pick up the pieces. NO WE WON’T. This strike is a warning. Our work can no longer be taken for granted. \nWhen we get 20\,000 signatures\, the strike will be ON.  Every pledge counts\, pledge today.

SUMMARY:In 2017\, Let's Continue Building the Resistance
DESCRIPTION:This election was a stunning reminder of how white supremacy and sexism run deep and threaten our basic democracy. That white working class people continue to identify with the capitalist 1% who are responsible for the pain in our daily lives. \nWhile Clinton got the popular vote\, a bigoted billionaire bully has taken the top spot in our country as a nightmare backlash against our first African-American President. NWL commits to build a resistance movement and stand up for justice. We need you. \nNow is not the time to retreat and lick our wounds. \nAll of us are under threat\, but in particular we stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters\, our undocumented and people of color brothers and sisters. \nBut standing alone is not enough – we need to be ORGANIZED. \nToday join a group. Go to meetings. Invest your time and your money in making social change – make it part of your life. \nNWL is meeting in New York\, NY and Florida to discuss what to do next. Please join us. \n  \n\nIn New York\, NY:\n\nMon. January 9th: Women of Color Caucus Meeting\, 7:30pm – 9:30pm.

SUMMARY:"Women's Liberation: Where Do I fit In?" A 10-Week Class in Fall 2016
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays\, September 28-December 7 (excluding 11/23)\, 6:30-9:30pm \nFEE: $40 for members\, $50 nonmembers (includes readings)\, No one turned away for lack of funds \nTO REGISTER: Email nwl@womensliberation.org \nThis class is for women who want to understand basic truths and political causes of the unfairness in our daily lives; how a feminist movement was organized to change this; what we can do now to build the kind of movement that can put the male chauvinist establishment on the run again; and how each woman can contribute to that effort. \nYou will learn about the heroic struggle women have waged\, individually and collectively\, for our survival and our freedom. What lessons and strategies from women’s fighting history can we apply today? Through a combination of lecture\, discussion of readings*\, and consciousness-raising\, participants will learn about the radical ideas and methods that sparked the rebirth of the feminist movement in the 1960s. \nThis class is not about personal liberation through improved self-esteem or an alternative women’s culture\, recalling a golden age of matriarchy\, or how feminism can save the planet. Nor is it about achieving status in the present corrupt system through individual self-improvement or lifestyle changes. \nThe following will be covered:\n•    The origins of the feminist movement and the how these truths have been buried.\n•    Consciousness-raising: getting to the root of sexism. Who benefits? Who pays?\n•    Radical feminist theory: what is radical? What is radical feminism? What is male supremacy?\n•    Reproductive Labor and Reproductive Justice\n•    Planning an action to fight back

SUMMARY:#NotMyClinic Day of Action
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Day of Action: \nMonday\, August 1 from 12:30 – 2:30 \n200 NE 1st Street Suite 201\, Gainesville\, FL 32601 \n\nAre you tired of the Florida legislature telling you what to do with your body? Are you mad about Florida’s newest abortion restrictions? Governor Rick Scott signed HB 1411 into law in March\, and the only reason it hasn’t gone into effect yet is because a Federal Judge granted a preliminary injunction against the bill. But an injunction is not enough! Because HB 1411 may still go into effect\, it still risks the lives and freedom of women across the state of Florida. \nThis injunction came in the wake of the United States Supreme Court striking down a similar abortion restrictions bill in Texas in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt this June. However\, the Supreme Court’s ruling was narrow enough to allow room for further creative law making by anti-woman politicians across the country. While Whole Woman’s Health decision is a small victory for women and our right to abortion\, it is not enough. It is not repeal. It is reform\, which keeps us fighting against restrictions and defending against more attacks. Until we achieve total repeal of all abortion laws\, our freedom as women is at stake! We demand repeal of all abortion laws\, including HB 1411! \nIf HB 1411 goes into effect and most abortion clinics across the state\, including Planned Parenthood clinics\, have to close their doors\, the Florida legislature has referred women to a list of “Federally Qualified Health Centers” for our reproductive health and abortion needs. Not a single one of these centers provides abortions. These centers also do not provide many other reproductive services that clinics like Planned Parenthood provide\, including cancer screenings\, STD testing\, birth control options\, etc. These centers are insufficient. These centers are #notmyclinic! That is why National Women’s Liberation is calling on YOU to help us show Governor Scott and the Florida legislature why we will not stand for HB 1411 or any other abortion restrictions they try to throw our way. \nWe demand reproductive freedom! We demand control over our bodies!We demand repeal!

It provides real women and actual work to check against distortion\, the distortion which prevents women from knowing the movement’s sources\, knowing the groundwork and learning from it\,” said Kathie Sarachild. “For instance\, without knowing the particular women you cannot know that women did what they did quite deliberately and consciously\, operating on the basis of theory\, strategy\, and experience. You may think it was an accident of ‘history’ that those women achieved what they set out to achieve in the first stage of their plan.” \n“She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry” resurrects the buried history of the outrageous\, often brilliant women who founded the modern women’s movement from 1966 to 1971. The film\, directed by Mary Dore\, takes us from the founding of NOW\, with ladies in hats and gloves\, to the emergence of more radical factions of women’s liberation; from intellectuals like Kate Millett to the street theatrics of WITCH (Women’s International Conspiracy from Hell!). It does not shy away from controversies over race\, sexual preference and leadership that arose in the women’s movement\, and brilliantly captures the spirit of the time—thrilling\, scandalous\, and often hilarious. \nNational Women’s Liberation is a feminist group for women who want to fight back against male supremacy and win more freedom for women. We believe change comes about from the actions of everyday people. We are a new group with old roots; we come from a collaboration between organizers from Redstockings of the Women’s Liberation Movement (NY) and Gainesville (FL) Women’s Liberation that began in 1968.  We are funded by the dues of women\, not corporations or their foundations.

SUMMARY:NWL Co-sponsors Film Screening of "Made in Dagenham"
DESCRIPTION:Alachua County Labor Coalition is screening the film “Made in Dagenham” on Monday\, March 16\, at 7PM at the Civic Media Center\, 433 S. Main St. The Gainesville Chapter of National Women’s Liberation and Gainesville Area NOW will co-sponsor the event.\n\n“Made in Dagenham” is the 2010 film about female workers at the Ford Dagenham (England) car plant who walked out in protest against sexual discrimination. Their actions played a major role in the battle for equal pay\, both nationally and internationally. Although the women are skilled upholstery seamstresses\, they are classified as unskilled labor and paid a fraction of what the men make. While trying to address their grievances with the company\, the women become outraged by the lack of respect shown by the company. When their grievances go unanswered\, the 187 women workers go on strike. \n\nWith humor\, common sense and courage the women take on their bosses\, and increasingly belligerent local community\, and finally the government. Daring to stand up and push boundaries\, the women changed a system that no one wanted to admit was broken. \n\nActors include Bob Hoskins and Rosamund Pike.\n\nAlachua County Labor Coalition is screening the film ‘Made in Dagenham’ as part of their on-going series of monthly labor film showings in the Alachua County community. \n\nFree\, but donations appreciated.

SUMMARY:Women's Liberation: Where Do I Fit In?
DESCRIPTION:Four-week workshop series \nTuesdays in June\, 6:30-8:30 \n(June 3 through June 24) \nCost: $40 \n\nThis series is for women who want to understand truths and political causes of the unfairness in our lives; how a feminist movement was organized to change this;what we can do now to build the kind of movement that can put the male chauvinist establishment on the run again; and how each woman can contribute to that effort. \n\nYou will learn about the heroic struggle women have waged\, individually and collectively\, for our survival and our freedom. What lessons and strategies from women’s fighting history can we apply today? Through a combination of lecture\, discussion of readings*\, and consciousness-raising\, participants will learn about the radical ideas and methods that sparked the rebirth of the feminist movement in the 1960s. This class is not about personal liberation through improved self-esteem or an alternative women’s culture\, recalling a golden age of matriarchy\, or how feminism can save the planet. Nor is it about achieving status in the present corrupt system through individual self-improvement or lifestyle changes. \n\nThe following will be covered: \n• The fight for abortion as an example of how feminist gains have been won & lost. \n• The origins of the feminist movement and the how these truths have been buried. \n• Consciousness-raising: getting to the root of sexism. Who benefits? Who pays? \n• Radical feminist theory: What is radical? What is radical feminism? What is male supremacy? \n• Where can we go from here? \n\nCost includes reading materials. No one will be turned away for inability to pay. Childcare will be provided if needed (RSVP for childcare by May 27.) \n\nReserve your seat by contacting Stephanie at 352-727-8144 or e-mailing nwl@womensliberation.org. \n\n* Much of the material we’ll be using is from the Redstockings Women’s Liberation Archives for Action\, an archive that makes the formative and radical 1960’s experience of the movement more widely available. For a full catalog\, go to: www.redstockings.org.
