SUMMARY:General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:To Have Children (Or Not): A Consciousness Raising\nMonthly Meeting February 16th 7:30-9:30pm (*note new start time) \nIn January we celebrated the anniversary of Roe v. Wade by doing a CR on when we have needed birth control and abortion.  In February\, we will dig deeper and explore whether we want or do not want children\, now or in the future\, and why. \nWe’ll be answering the following questions:\n1. What are our reasons for wanting children\, if/when we wanted them. (Whether we had them\, didn’t\, or are still planning to.) Reasons for not wanting them? If we had them\, did our thinking about this change after we had them? If we didn’t have them\, did our thinking change? \n2. Additional question for those who have done parenting work: When does this work feel like an individual responsibility? When does it feel like a collective (community\, society wide\,national) responsibility? \nDetails: Tuesday 2/16 from 7:30 – 9:30 pm @ The Commons in Brooklyn\, 388 Atlantic Avenue between Hoyt and Bond\, near the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street A/C/G.

SUMMARY:#Shout Your Abortion in New York City
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tues.\, Nov. 17th from 7-9pm to learn about #ShoutYourAbortion in NYC and the history of abortion speak-outs. RSVP on facebook and invite your friends. \nThe #ShoutYourAbortion campaign that began in Seattle is spreading to the East Coast – come to our November meeting to learn more. We’ll also read and discuss a short article from the Redstockings Archives on the largely hidden history of how women won abortion in the U.S.: not because Supreme Court justices were nice to us\, but through speak outs\, disruptions\, and bold demands of women’s liberation organizers in NYC and beyond in the late 1960s. \nWe’ll be meeting at The Commons in Brooklyn\, 388 Atlantic Avenue between Hoyt and Bond\, near the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street A/C/G.

DESCRIPTION:From the left\, Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) workers Doris Rutledge\, Gene Pinkston\, Judith Benninger (Brown)\, and Ira Simmons\, Gadsden County\, Florida\, August 1964.\nThis workshop is for women to learn about the roots of the Women’s Liberation Movement in the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements—and how this history can be used today.  \n\nWhat were the positive lessons that gave women the tools to attack male supremacy?\nHow did Black women lead in the Women’s Liberation Movement and why is this not known?\nWhat did Black organizers tell white women that caused them to organize for Women’s Liberation?\n\nPlease e-mail nwl@womensliberation.org to reserve your spot and so that we can email you the readings in advance.  Space is limited so be sure to email and reserve your spot today. \nA $10 donation will be requested at the workshop. \n More on the workshop \nWith the growing movement against racist police murders and the rise of Black Lives Matter\, we think it’s a good moment to correct the myths about the history of Women’s Liberation and Black Liberation\, and study the lessons from this vital relationship for our organizing now. \nInstructor: Jenny Brown has been organizing for Women’s Liberation for 25 years\, with Gainesville (Florida) Women’s Liberation\, Redstockings\, and National Women’s Liberation.  She is co-author of the Redstockings book Women’s Liberation and National Health Care: Confronting the Myth of America\, and an author of Labor Notes book How to Jump-Start Your Union: Lessons from the Chicago Teachers. \nThis workshop is originally part of the 10-week class\, Building Women’s Liberation Now: Gems from the 60s and 70s for Activist Use Today\, we offered last year in cooperation with Redstockings (www.redstockings.org).  Please let us know if you would be interested in taking the 10-week class–we will offer it again if there is enough interest.

SUMMARY:General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Women\, are you sick of being bombarded with advertisements that depict women as sexual objects? That use our bodies to sell products? That embolden men to disrespect us? That tell us we are not worthy unless we conform to unrealistic\, sexist\, racist\, and unhealthy beauty standards? \nSo are we! Join us and fight back. Attend our next meeting on Tues June 16th at 7pm. \nWhen: Tuesday\, June 16th from 7:00-9:00 p.m.\nWhere: The Commons in Brooklyn\, 388 Atlantic Avenue between Hoyt and Bond\, near the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street A/C/G. You can also take the 2\,3\,4\,5 to Nevins or the D\,N\,R to Atlantic-Pacific. Map. \nRSVP: Encouraged but not required\, to nwl@womensliberation.org. \nNational Women’s Liberation and Redstockings recently teamed up to re-create the vintage 1969 “This Oppresses Women” sticker for slapping on sexist ads. The sticker is one of the “1960s gems” from the Redstockings Women’s Liberation Archives for Action. Help us plan a zap action using the stickers this summer. \nThe sticker was an outgrowth of our joint 10 week class\, “Building Women’s Liberation Now: Gems from the 1960s and Beyond for Radical Feminist Theory & Action Today.” Through consciousness-raising\, women testified about being fed up with men who feel entitled to harass us on the street\, tell us to smile\, and/or comment on our appearance. From there we dug deeper\, investigating the connection between street harassment and what corporate forces gain through the sexualization and exploitation of women in advertising plastered all over our public spaces. This summer we plan to raise consciousness publicly.

New women welcome!\n\nWhen: Tuesday May 19th from 7:00-9:00pm\nWhere: The Commons in Brooklyn\, 388 Atlantic Avenue between Hoyt and Bond\, near the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street A/C/G. You can also take the 2\,3\,4\,5 to Nevins or the D\,N\,R to Atlantic-Pacific. map\nRSVP: Encouraged but not required\, to nwl@womensliberation.org. \n\nHelp us sharpen our aim and our analysis! In our May meeting\, we will be evaluating the materials we created for our last action on street harassment and sexist ads with an eye towards holding another action this summer. \n\nJoin us for a lively discussion of the following flyers and statements: \n\nStreet Harassment Project Mission Statement (Pre-Amble\, Our Beliefs\, Our Intentions)\n    Redstockings 1969 Stickers Assail 2015 Ads\n    NWL/Redstockings flyer “All men benefit but ‘The Man’ Profits”\n\n\nMore Information\n\nEarlier this spring\, National Women’s Liberation held an action with Redstockings to “take on the interlocking tentacles of male chauvinist pig catcallers on the street and the sexist ad makers of big business.” The action was an outgrowth of our joint 10 week class\, “Building Women’s Liberation Now: Gems from the 1960s and Beyond for Radical Feminist Theory & Action Today.” Through consciousness-raising\, women testified about being fed up with men who feel entitled to harass us on the street\, tell us to smile\, and/or comment on our appearance. From there we dug deeper\, investigating the connection between street harassment and what corporate forces gain through the sexualization and exploitation of women in advertising plastered all over our public spaces. In our May meeting\, we will be evaluating the materials we created for our last action with an eye towards holding another action in July.

SUMMARY:Is consumerism a major form of oppression of women?
DESCRIPTION:Ellen Willis’s 1969 paper ‘Consumerism’ and Women takes on this widespread anti-woman misconception.\n\nJoin us for a study and discussion of the paper at our monthly meeting in April. We encourage participants to read the article\, Consumerism and Women\, before the meeting\, but will also provide hard copies and time to review the piece in the meeting. The article is a gem from the Redstockings Women’s Liberation Archives for Action.\n\nWhen:Tuesday April 21st from 6:30-8:30pm\nWhere:The Commons\, 388 Atlantic Avenue\, Brooklyn between Hoyt and Bond\, near the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street A/C/G. You can also take the 2\,3\,4\,5 to Nevins or the D\,N\,R to Atlantic-Pacific. map\nRSVP: Encouraged but not required\, to nwl@womensliberation.org.\n\n“For women\, buying and wearing clothes and beauty aids is not so much consumption as it is work.” – Ellen Willis \n\nOn June 27-28\, 1969\, mostly under the name “Women’s Liberation\,” Redstockings activists flooded a New Left women’s conference in New York City with a spate of new writings. Willis’ piece was one of these “mimeographed thunderbolts\,” and is still chock-full of relevant and insightful insights for today’s feminist movement. Willis was a co-founder of Redstockings and a radical feminist thinker and writer. Read more of the history on the Redstockings website.

SUMMARY:"Building Women's Liberation Now" class to be offered in NYC
DESCRIPTION:Building Women’s Liberation Now: Gems from the 1960s & \nBeyond for Radical Feminist Theory & Action Today \nA joint project of Redstockings and National Women’s Liberation \n\n10 weekly sessions: Thursdays\, September 18th-November 20th\, 7-9pm \nFee: $45 (no one turned away for lack of funds) \nSign up: Registration is now closed. No walk-in registrations will be accepted on site. \n\n\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. \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. \n\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. \n\nThe following will be covered:  \n• Reproductive Oppression and Reproductive Justice \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• Planning an action to fight back \n\nVisit our website: www.womensliberation.org \nFollow us on Twitter: @4womenslib \nLike us on Facebook: facebook.com/nationalwomensliberation \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.

SUMMARY:Join Us For a Meeting in NYC to Analyze Feminist Victory and Plan for More
DESCRIPTION:From the morning-after pill victory to beating back the anti-abortion bill in Texas\, we’ve seen the power of grassroots organizing. Speakouts\, sit-ins\, flashmobs\, petitions\, and in-court advocacy led to a court order that the morning after pill be sold on the shelf with no age restrictions. The order is a huge victory for women\, but we must make sure the drug is affordable. Come analyze how and why we won this and brainstorm how to win more for women — help us plan an action for the fall. \n\nWe will discuss the 1970 essay “Abortion Law Repeal (Sort of): A Warning to Women1” by Lucinda Cisler\, which we can draw on to strengthen our fight for women’s liberation. A quote from the article: \n\n“Because no one else [except the Women’s Liberation Movement] is going to cry out against these restrictions\, it is up to feminists to make the strongest and most precise demands upon the lawmakers—who ostensibly exist to serve us. We will not accept insults and call them “steps in the right direction.” \n\n\n1 “Abortion Law Repeal (Sort of): A Warning to Women\,” © Lucinda Cisler. Reproduced here with author’s permission.

SUMMARY:Celebrate International Women's Day with the Federation of Cuban Women and NYWL
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, March 5\, 2013\, come celebrate International Women’s Day with the Federation of Cuban Women.  In the U.S. we are still fighting for National Healthcare\, Paid Family Leave and Universal Childcare; take this rare opportunity to hear from Cuban women what they have won through revolution and feminist struggle!\n\nTuesday\, March 5\, 2013\n7:00- 9:00pm \n220 Fifth Ave\, 5th floor\, btwn W 26th St and W 27th St (Take the N/R or 6 to 28th St stops) \n\nNYWL past-chair advisor\, Allison Guttu was able to meet with the Federation during a political tour of Cuba.  Guttu says\, “Cuba has 45% women in Parliament\, one of the highest in the world.  It was amazing to learn about the wins that women had achieved\, as well as the challenges; for instance they have won family leave but are still fighting for men to take that leave.  I am so excited that the Federation is joining us again for International Women’s Day.”\n\nThe New York Chapter of National 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 that change comes from a movement of everyday people.  Our meetings are open to all women. \n\nCelebremos el Día internacional de la mujer con la Federación de mujeres cubanas y el grupo de NYWL\n\nVen a celebrar el Día internacional de la mujer con la Federación cubana de mujeres en nuestra reunión general de marzo.   Aquí en los EEUU todavía luchamos por un Plan nacional de salud\, Maternidad paga\, y Guardería universal.  Este es un momento especial en el que escucharemos a las mujeres cubanas relatar lo que ellas han ganado por medio de la revolución y la lucha feminista!\n\nMartes\, Marzo 5\, 2013\n7:00-9:00p \n220 Fifth Ave\, 5th floor\, Entre las calles W 26th St y W 27th St (N/R o 6 hasta 28th St stops) \n\nLa vizpresidenta Allison Guttu visitó a la Federación durante el viaje a Cuba del Agosto negro el verano pasado.  “En el Parliamento de Cuba 45% son mujeres.  Fue magnífico ver las ganancias que las mujeres en cuba han logrado tales como un año entero de maternidad pago\, cuido para las personas mayores\, y ciertos retos como el de hacer que los hombres\, también\, aprovechen ese tiempo de paternidad.  Me alegra que la Federación nos acompañe de nuevo en este Día internacional de la mujer”.\n\nEl capítulo de Nueva York de Women’s Liberation es un grupo feminista de mujeres en la lucha contra la supremacía masculina y ganar mas libertad para la mujer.  Creemos que el cambio se consigue por los esfuerzos cotidianos.  Somos mujeres que luchamos por nuestros derechos en la década de los 60 y también somos activistas jóvenes que buscamos prenderle un nuevo fuego a la lucha por nuestros derechos.  Solo a las mujeres en las reuniones.
