SUMMARY:Virtual Consciousness-Raising on Opposing Racism
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Sept 29th\, 7:30-9:30pm\nRSVP required (meeting over Zoom)\n\nJoin National Women’s Liberation (NWL) for our upcoming virtual consciousness-raising (CR) on opposing racism. This CR is to draw political conclusions about how racism works and how to defeat it as a multiracial feminist fighting force. Please note\, this is not an anti-racist training.

What motivated you?\nHave you ever seen something racist or experienced racism and not opposed it? Give examples.\nHow has racism influenced your choices/decisions?

SUMMARY:Virtual Consciousness-Raising on Education
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 23\, 6:30 to 8:30 PM EDT\nRSVP required (meeting over Zoom)\n\nJoin us for a virtual Consciousness-Raising (CR) on public education. As K-12 schools are reopening across our state and nation\, it is increasingly apparent that our public education system is not meeting the needs of children\, educators\, parents or their communities. We want to compare and contrast how we are each individually impacted by (K-12) public education\, and what changes would improve our lives. This CR is meant for parents\, caretakers and women without children.\n\nIn CR\, women answer questions from their own experience\, and then the group uses these testimonies to find the political roots of our so-called “personal” problems.\n\n\nCR questions:\n\nWhether or not you have kids\, how do the schools (public\, private\, university\, etc) opening up impact you?\nWhether or not you have kids\, how did the school closure impact you?\n\n\nEach person who testifies will have approx 4 minutes. Afterwards we’ll discuss the testimony and draw conclusions.

SUMMARY:NWL Study Group: Universal Programs in the U.S.: What's the Obstacle?
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday May 5\, 7:30 – 9:30PM EST (& each Tuesday until May 26)\nvia Zoom (RSVP here)\n\nHealth care systems that cover everyone have better health outcomes and cost less. They also give women more independence from men. So why can’t we win one in the U.S.?\n\nThe point of this study group is to look at the various obstacles to people in the U.S. supporting universal programs (whether Medicare for All or universal childcare). Sometimes it’s because they don’t believe it will really help them (since some things are labelled “universal” or “for all” and then end up excluding people by race\, sex\, income or immigration status). Some think universal programs will be worse than what they have (“public” things are inferior\, cash-strapped\, or not safe). Some think that relying on the government is a sign of weakness. And some say they don’t want “undeserving” people (usually this involves racism) to benefit from a program funded by (their) taxes.\n\nWe will also look at the history of when U.S. government programs (like Social Security or public schools or Medicare or the Postal Service) have expanded or even been truly universal\, and whether they have had positive impacts on women and people of color and other oppressed groups\, and how that came to be true.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll be answering these questions in a consciousness raising:\n1. Name some universal or near-universal programs in the U.S. (for example\, Social Security\, Medicare\, public schools\, pre-K in NYC\, FMLA\, Postal Service\, libraries\, unemployment insurance\, others?) Do they/did they benefit you? Any downsides? Do they affect you as a woman differently from men? As a woman of color (if applicable)?\n\n2. Name some means-tested (that is\, dependent on income) programs in the U.S. (Obamacare\, Medicaid\, food stamps\, WIC\, TANF\, Head Start\, mortgage interest deduction\, EITC\, others?) Do they/did they benefit you? Any downsides? Do they affect you as a woman differently from men? As a woman of color (if applicable)?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP by emailing us at nwl@womensliberation.org and we’ll send you a link to the meeting via Zoom and the readings.

SUMMARY:Get Out The Vote Register Voters From Home
DESCRIPTION:National Women’s Liberation partner and ally\, the Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC) is hosting a Phonebank Frenzy next week from April 13 to April 17\, to register as many voters in Florida as possible. Sign up here!\n\nFLIC will provide a brief training (you can sign up for the training online)\, and then you’ll be eligible to sign up to make phone calls.\n\nThis pandemic has shown how fragile our democracy is — and voting is one way to fight back.\n\nHere’s why we need your help:\n\nThere are tens-of-thousands who are newly-eligible to vote under Amendment 4; many people with a felony conviction can now vote.\nOf already registered voters\, roughly 40% don’t vote in general elections.\nEligible voters are regularly removed from voting rolls around the state for “inactivity\,” which is caused primarily by housing instability.

SUMMARY:National Consciousness-Raising Training Call
DESCRIPTION:National Women’s Liberation is expanding our Consciousness-Raising (CR) initiative to learn from women across the country and use what we learn to guide future actions. CR is a powerful tool used throughout the Women’s Liberation Movement\, and on September 10 we hope to use it to raise consciousness around health care and to build momentum for women’s liberation and a single payer health system. \nWe’re leading training calls for women who want to host a Consciousness-Raising session with friends and family about health care in their hometowns. \nUpcoming training call: Sunday\, August 27\, 8PM EDT / RSVP to Call In and Spread the word on Facebook! \nWhat is Feminist Consciousness-Raising? \nConsciousness-Raising (CR) is a tool that the Women’s Liberation Movement adopted from the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement’s practice of “telling it like it is.” In a CR\, women answer proposed questions using examples from their personal lives. The group draws conclusions based on that testimony to better understand the political root of problems that women face. Learn more about NWL’s use of CR here. \nSuggested Reading \nTo learn more about the history and theory of CR\, read Kathie Sarachild\, “Consciousness-Raising: A Radical Weapon\,” Feminist Revolution (Redstockings\, 1975).

SUMMARY:Community Meeting for Women of Color
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 27\, 2017\, 7:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. \nThis meeting is open to all women of color. \nRSVP for Meeting Location \n\nThe Republicans in Congress and the incoming administration quickly got to work trying to undo the Affordable Care Act. Though the repeal was defeated\, the attack on public health care continues at the federal level and in many states. Meanwhile\, the New York State Senate is considering a health care bill that would cover all residents\, regardless of income\, marital status\, employment\, or citizenship status. If passed\, no one who needed care would go without it. \n\nAt this month’s Women of Color Caucus meeting\, we will use consciousness-raising to explore our own experiences with health care by answering the following questions: \n1.    What have you and/or your family gotten from the current health care system that you needed? \n2.    What have you needed that you haven’t gotten from the current health care system? \n3.    What do you want your health care to be like? Why? \n  \n\n*CR questions courtesy of Redstockings.

SUMMARY:Women of Color Caucus Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our next Women of Color Caucus Meeting\, Sat.\, February 21\, 2015 at noon. We will be holding a consciousness-raising meeting in Gainesville\, Florida and New York City at locations to be determined. We will be discussing our experiences with violence by answering the following questions: \n\nWhen have you been physically or verbally threatened or experienced violence against you (i.e. from men\, from police\, etc.)? Did you fight back in some way? Why or why not? What happened? What role did race play\, if any? What role did sex play\, if any? \n\nThe Women of Color Caucus (WOCC) is an organizing think tank composed of women of color associated with National Women’s Liberation (NWL). We believe that women of color involved in women’s liberation must also meet separately from white women in order to address problems specifically affecting women of color.
