SUMMARY:Book talk on Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now
DESCRIPTION:Book talk on Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now with Allie Lahey of East Bay DSA and Meagan Day of Jacobin\, at East Bay Booksellers in Oakland. \nFrom East Bay Booksellers: \n\n\n\nEAST BAY BOOKSELLERS is excited to welcome Jenny Brown to read from her new book\, Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now on Friday\, December 6th at 7pm. She will be joined in conversation by Meagan Day and Allie Lahey. \nWith 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? \nIn 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. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nJenny 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.

SUMMARY:Jenny Brown presents Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now
DESCRIPTION:From Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe : \nWith 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. \nJenny 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. \nThis event is free and open to the public. We ask that you purchase the books you want to be signed at our events from Malaprop’s. When you do this you are not only supporting the work it takes to run an events program\, you are also telling the publishers that they should keep sending authors here.

SUMMARY:Protest: Say NO to Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle
DESCRIPTION:No Nazis at UF\, Dream Defenders\, #ChompTrump\, GAU and many other groups are protesting UF’s financial support of white supremacists.\n\nNew 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.\n\nDemands released by No Nazis at UF include:\n\nCancel 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.\nACCENT 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….

SUMMARY:Birth Strike Book Club
DESCRIPTION: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: \n\nMay 14\nJune 11\nJuly 9\nAugust 13\nSeptember 10\nOctober 8\n\nJoin 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. \n\nFeminists 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. \n\nVisit 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) \n\nVisit pmpress.org to get your copy of Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight over Women’s Work! \n\n*Childcare will be provided upon request.* \n**Meetings are open to all self-identified women.**

SUMMARY:Not One More! An Action to Defend Abortion
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nWe’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.”\n\nThese are some of the people we’re honoring:\nRosaura 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.\nThe teenage migrants held in detention and denied abortion access by our government.\nSavita 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.\nPeople across the US—a country with skyrocketing rates of maternal morbidity and mortality—who will suffer and die from pregnancy itself.\nThe 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.\nNot one more!\n\n*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!

SUMMARY:Blue Light Protest!
DESCRIPTION:Frat Row on UF Campus\n\nIn 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nJoin 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.

SUMMARY:Birth Strike book talk at Strand with Liza Featherstone
DESCRIPTION:Join us as feminist organizer Jenny Brown discusses her new book\, Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight over Women’s Work\, with Nation and Jacobin columnist Liza Featherstone.   (Video here.) \nWhen House Speaker Paul Ryan urged U.S. women to have more children\, and Ross Douthat requested “More babies\, please\,” in a New York Times column\, they openly expressed what policymakers have been discussing for decades with greater discretion. Using technical language like “age structure\,” “dependency ratio\,” and “entitlement crisis\,” establishment think tanks are raising the alarm: if U.S. women don’t get busy having more children\, we’ll face an aging workforce\, slack consumer demand\, and a stagnant economy. 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.”  \nBut 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\, health care\, and with insufficient male participation\, U.S. women are conducting a spontaneous birth strike.  \nIn other countries\, panic over low birth rates has led governments to underwrite childbearing and childrearing with generous universal programs\, but in the U.S.\, women have not yet realized the potential of our bargaining position. When we do\, it will lead to new strategies for winning full access to abortion and birth control\, and for improving the difficult working conditions U.S. parents now face when raising children.  \nRecorded April 1\, 2019

SUMMARY:Gainesville\, A Flashpoint of Feminist Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Carol Giardina’s talk\, Gainesville\, a Flashpoint of Feminist Revolution\, will reveal Gainesville’s hidden history in the movement’s cutting edge breakthroughs. This free event in Ustler Hall on UF campus opens with a reception and book signing with the author at 4:30pm. Carol’s book\, Freedom for Women\, Forging the Women’s Liberation Movement 1959-1970 will be on sale there. Her talk follows at 5:30pm.\n\nCarol began making referrals for then-illegal abortions in 1963 from her freshman dormitory at UF. By 1968\, with Judith Brown\, she co-founded Gainesville Women’s Liberation (GWL)\, the first women’s liberation group in the South and was representing GWL in the Miss America Pageant Protest in Atlantic City\, NJ – the demonstration that put the movement on the world’s radar as beauty contest protests swept small towns and world capitals. Fired her from State job and blacklisted as “unemployable\,” she was told that the protest had been entered on her “permanent record.” She joined a core of movement founders that developed and spread radical feminist theory. Carol continues to work for the feminist revolution today in the uncompromising “go for what we really want” spirit of the Sixties.\n\nCarol Giardina is the author of Freedom for Women: Forging the Women’s Liberation Movement (2010)\, and one of  the founding organizers of National Women’s Liberation.\n\n\n1968 Miss America Pageant Protest.

SUMMARY:6th Annual Roe v. Wade Anniversary Show and NWL Benefit
DESCRIPTION:Join National Women’s Liberation in an epic celebration of the power of organizing by celebrating the 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision with bands\, DJs\, local community groups\, guerilla theatre and a silent auction! Proceeds will benefit the organizing work of National Women’s Liberation. \nDJs: Kelly Kochis & Mike Goston \nBands: Routines & Glitter Whiskey \nAll Ages Show! \nOur right to reproductive justice has been consistently under attack ever since the Roe v. Wade decision. Many believe it was solely this decision (via the Supreme Court) that gave us the right to abortion in the U.S. when in reality it was the years of struggle and organizing and bold demands by ordinary people that won us the right to abortion. \nCome learn more about why we need to keep fighting\, not only to preserve Roe\, but to push for free and full access to all forms of birth control. Enjoy great music\, hear from other local groups fighting for justice\, and bid on amazing silent auction prizes\, all while financially supporting the movement!

SUMMARY:NWL-NYC September General Meeting: People Power!
DESCRIPTION:Members of the Mountain States Women’s Abortion Coalition form a picket line in front of the State Capitol in January of 1972 (David Cupp\, Post Archive/Getty Images).\nMany people are moving to fight the appointment of Trump’s US Supreme Court Justice nominee\, Brett Kavanaugh\, under the belief that nine justices gave us the Roe v. Wade (1973) decision and five justices will keep Roe from being overturned. Join us to learn how it was actually serious grassroots organizing in the Women’s Liberation Movement—and not the courts—that won us access to legal abortion in 1973. We’ll also discuss strategies for preserving and expanding abortion access beyond SCOTUS and Roe.
