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. 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. \nAllie Lahey has been organizing with reproductive rights and justice organizations for the last 7 years in Ohio and California\, including leading campaigns to fight abortion bans\, overturn the Hyde Amendment\, and expand abortion access onto college campuses. She is also on the Steering Committee for the East Bay Democratic Socialists of America\, and has been a part of campaigns for rent control\, socialist candidates running for office\, and the Oakland Teachers strike. \nMeagan Day is the author of MAXIMUM SUNLIGHT (Wolfman Books 2016). She is a Ben Bagdikian editorial fellow at Mother Jones and a features editor at Full Stop . She’s a former staff writer for Timeline\, and her work has also appeared in n+1\, The New Inquiry\, The Believer\, The Towner and elsewhere. She has worked at Aeon Magazine\, McSweeney’s Publishing and Time Out Istanbul\, and interned at Granta Magazine. She holds a Bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and a Master’s in Cultural Studies from Goldsmiths\, University of London.

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: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.

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?
