Blue Light Protest!
2019-09-17 16:30 - 18:00
Frat Row on UF Campus

In 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.

The 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.

Join 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.

Not One More! An Action to Defend Abortion
2019-10-05 08:15 - 10:30
Join us at an action in memory of and anger for everyone who has suffered and died due to lack of abortion access—because their lives are the only lives that really matter in the abortion debate.

We’re taking their names and their stories straight to the bigots who support inhumane abortion bans: the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in Little Italy. Each month the church hosts a “pro-life mass” that concludes with a protest outside the Bleecker Street Planned Parenthood. The event draws over a hundred participants who attempt to shame and intimidate patients trying to get through the clinic’s doors. We say: no more! Not another Saturday of stigma and harassment from abortion opponents who think they know what’s best for us. And not another life stolen in the name of being “pro-life.”

These are some of the people we’re honoring:
Rosaura Almonte, a Dominican teenager who was diagnosed with leukemia while seven weeks pregnant. She died while waiting for doctors to decide whether they could give her life-saving treatment that might harm the fetus.
The teenage migrants held in detention and denied abortion access by our government.
Savita Halappanavar, who asked for an abortion to save her own life and was refused one by doctors afraid of violating Irish law. She died of sepsis.
People across the US—a country with skyrocketing rates of maternal morbidity and mortality—who will suffer and die from pregnancy itself.
The untold numbers whose names we’ll never know, whose futures were decided for them by unjust laws and a ruling class that puts profit and control over people, always.
Not one more!

*NB: small location change!* We’re now meeting at 8:15 am at the CORNER OF E HOUSTON ST AND ELIZABETH ST. Then we’ll walk from there over to the church together. Please be on time!

Birth Strike Book Club
2019-10-08 18:30 - 20:30
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:

May 14
June 11
July 9
August 13
September 10
October 8

Join 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.

Feminists 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.

Visit 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)

*Childcare will be provided upon request.*
**Meetings are open to all self-identified women.**

Protest: Say NO to Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle
2019-10-10 17:00 - 19:30
No Nazis at UF, Dream Defenders, #ChompTrump, GAU and many other groups are protesting UF’s financial support of white supremacists.

New 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.

Demands released by No Nazis at UF include:

Cancel 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.
ACCENT 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…. (see full demands on their Facebook page)

Conversation with Liza Featherstone of The Nation and Jacobin at the Strand bookstore in New York
2019-10-10 19:30 - 22:30 | Strand Bookstore, New York, NY
With an antiabortion majority on the Supreme Court and several states attempting to outlaw abortion altogether, many activists are on the defensive, hoping to hold on to reproductive rights in a few places and cases. How did we get here and how do we build a fighting movement for abortion rights and full reproductive justice?
In her new book Without Apology, Jenny Brown uncovers a century of legal abortion in the United States until 1873, recalls women’s experiences in the illegal days, and shows how the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s really won abortion rights. She draws inspiration and lessons from the radicals of Redstockings, the Army of Three, and the Jane Collective, putting together a road map for today’s organizers from the black feminist argument for reproductive justice, the successful fight to make the morning-after pill available over the counter, and the recent mass movement to repeal Ireland’s abortion ban. It’s time to return to the fundamental ideas that won legal abortion in the first place: Women publicly telling the full truth of their own experience, demanding repeal of all abortion restrictions, and showing how abortion and birth control are the key demands in the struggle for women’s freedom.

Join us on the Strand’s second floor as Jenny discusses Without Apology with The Nation’s Liza Featherstone.

Jenny Brown was a leader in the fight to get the morning-after pill over the counter in the US and a plaintiff in the winning lawsuit. She is co-author of the Redstockings book Women’s Liberation and National Health Care: Confronting the Myth of America. While editor at Labor Notes magazine, she coauthored How to Jump-Start Your Union: Lessons from the Chicago Teachers. She writes, teaches, and organizes with the feminist group National Women’s Liberation and is the author of Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight over Women’s Work (PM Press).

Liza Featherstone is a journalist based in New York City and a contributing editor to Jacobin and The Nation, where she also writes the advice column “Asking for a Friend.” Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Ms., and Rolling Stone, among many other outlets. She is the co-author of Students Against Sweatshops: The Making of a Movement (Verso, 2002) and author of Selling Women Short: The Landmark Battle for Worker’s Rights at Wal-Mart (Basic, 2004). She is the editor of False Choices: The Faux Feminism of Hillary Clinton (Verso, 2016)

Jenny Brown presents Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now
2019-10-21 18:00 - 19:00 | Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe, 55 Haywood St, Asheville, NC, 28801
From Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe :
With an anti-abortion majority on the Supreme Court and several states attempting to outlaw abortion altogether, many activists are on the defensive, hoping to hold on to reproductive rights in a few places and cases. This spirited book shows how feminism can start winning again. Jenny Brown uncovers a century of legal abortion in the United States until 1873, recalls women’s experiences in the illegal days, and shows how the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s really won abortion rights. She draws inspiration and lessons from the radicals of Redstockings, the Army of Three, and the Jane Collective, putting together a road map for today’s organizers from the black feminist argument for reproductive justice, the successful fight to make the morning-after pill available over the counter, and the recent mass movement to repeal Ireland’s abortion ban. Brown argues that politically conservative nonprofits have been setting the agenda, emphasizing rare tragic cases and relying on the rhetoric of choice and privacy. Instead, it is time to return to the fundamental ideas that won legal abortion in the first place: Women publicly telling the full truth of their own experience, demanding repeal of all abortion restrictions, and showing how abortion and birth control are the key demands in the struggle for women’s freedom.

National Women’s Liberation is hosting a voter registration training at our office, led by the Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC). We particularly want to reach people with felony convictions who are newly eligible to vote via Amendment 4, as well as registered voters who are inactive.
Here in Alachua County, FLIC is aiming to reach and engage with 20,000 voters this year.

There are tens-of-thousands who are newly-eligible under Amendment 4.
Of the already registered voters, roughly 40% don’t vote in general elections.
Over 45,000 voters in Alachua County are registered as No Party Affiliation (NPA).
Over 18,000 people were removed from the voting rolls in Alachua County for “inactivity,” which is caused primarily by housing instability.

We have work to do! Join us for the training and to plan next steps!

Sunday, Feb 16th

Civic Media Center, 433 S. Main St

We’ll start with an introductory training by the Florida Immigrants Coalition and then we’ll head out to canvass! Bring water, sunglasses, a hat and good walking shoes. We’ll provide flyers, talking points and answers to your questions.

Morning After Pill Vending Machine
NWL has been campaigning for a morning after pill vending machine on UF campus since 2018. UF persists to stonewall us at every attempt. We demand access to UF’s $10 morning after pill 24/7 in a vending machine on UF campus AND Santa Fe campus.

National Women’s Liberation organizer Jenny Brown will be interviewed on Jacobin Magazine’s YouTube series “Stay at Home” on Wednesday, April 15 at 6pm Eastern Time. Audience members can ask questions via the comments.
Jenny will talk about why the establishment is cracking down on abortion and birth control now, and how successful movements have fought back. The current nonprofit strategy to defend abortion rights echoes unsuccessful efforts of the past—it was radicals who won us the reproductive freedoms we have. She will also give an update on state governments trying to use the pandemic crisis to block abortion, as well as some victories!
