Join us on Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at Little Hall Room 119 (located on UF Campus) for a Consciousness-Raising Discussion on Abortion & Birth Control.

Consciousness-Raising (C-R) is a tool that the Women’s Liberation Movement adopted from the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, where it was called “telling it like it is.” In C-R, women answer a question using examples from their personal lives, then the group uses these personal testimonies to draw conclusions about the political root of women’s so-called “personal” problems.

Women's Liberation: Where Do I Fit In?
2014-06-03 18:30 - 20:30
Four-week workshop series
Tuesdays in June, 6:30-8:30
(June 3 through June 24)
Cost: $40

This 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.

You 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.

The following will be covered:
• The fight for abortion as an example of how feminist gains have been won & lost.
• The origins of the feminist movement and the how these truths have been buried.
• Consciousness-raising: getting to the root of sexism. Who benefits? Who pays?
• Radical feminist theory: What is radical? What is radical feminism? What is male supremacy?
• Where can we go from here?

Cost 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.)

Reserve your seat by contacting Stephanie at 352-727-8144 or e-mailing nwl@womensliberation.org.

* 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.

The Gainesville Chapter of National Women’s Liberation (NWL) is beginning to plan our second annual Roe v. Wade anniversary & NWL benefit show in January.

This series of consciousness-raising study groups is for women who want to understand basic truths and political causes of the unfairness in our daily lives; how Reproductive Justice and the social wage are the right of every woman; and how each woman can contribute as grassroots organizers.

The study group will meet every other week beginning Monday, January 26th to discuss the topics outlined below. Each meeting will include a Consciousness-Raising (CR) as well as a discussion of assigned readings. Participants are expected to have read and prepared CR testimony in advance of each study group. Participants will have the opportunity to alternate planning and leading topics by attending “mini-group” meetings.

The following topics will be covered:

The Pro-Woman Line and Radical Feminism
Reproductive Justice
Feminist Leadership
The Pro-Woman Line: Sex Roles and Brain Washing

We ask that study group participants commit to being in all study groups meetings and at least one “mini-group” meeting. This will allow women to learn together and build on materials week after week.

Come fight with us! We’ll be picketing and handing out flyers in front of American Apparel, a company which is notorious for objectifying women in their advertisements.

Women of Color Caucus Meeting
2015-02-21 12:00 - 14:00
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:

When 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?

The 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.

NWL Co-sponsors Film Screening of "Made in Dagenham"
2015-03-16 19:00 - 21:00
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.

“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.

With 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.

Actors include Bob Hoskins and Rosamund Pike.

Alachua 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.

Free, but donations appreciated.

Is consumerism a major form of oppression of women?
2015-04-21 18:30 - 20:30
Ellen Willis’s 1969 paper ‘Consumerism’ and Women takes on this widespread anti-woman misconception.

Join 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.

When:Tuesday April 21st from 6:30-8:30pm
Where: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
RSVP: Encouraged but not required, to nwl@womensliberation.org.

“For women, buying and wearing clothes and beauty aids is not so much consumption as it is work.” – Ellen Willis

On 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.

New York City General Meeting

Help 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.

Join us for a lively discussion of the following flyers and statements:

Street Harassment Project Mission Statement (Pre-Amble, Our Beliefs, Our Intentions)
Redstockings 1969 Stickers Assail 2015 Ads
NWL/Redstockings flyer “All men benefit but ‘The Man’ Profits”

More Information

Earlier 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.

National 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.
The 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.

The University of Florida recently released the findings from its campus climate survey on sexual assault, which found that 20% of campus women have experienced sexual assault since coming to UF, while the majority of those assaults remain unreported. (See newspaper coverage of the survey in The Alligator and The Gainesville Sun.) Is “rape culture” to blame for sexual assault or something else? Join us for a discussion on rape and sexual assault on campus.

Save the date! We’ll be meeting the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m.:
