SUMMARY:You Can Change This Election: Learn How to Register Voters
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHere in Alachua County\, FLIC is aiming to reach and engage with 20\,000 voters this year. \n\nThere are tens-of-thousands who are newly-eligible under Amendment 4.\nOf the already registered voters\, roughly 40% don’t vote in general elections.\nOver 45\,000 voters in Alachua County are registered as No Party Affiliation (NPA).\nOver 18\,000 people were removed from the voting rolls in Alachua County for “inactivity\,” which is caused primarily by housing instability.\n\nWe have work to do! Join us for the training and to plan next steps!

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.

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. It is not about individual self improvement or improving our image. The primary goal of this CR is to help focus our efforts as we continue the fight to overthrow racism.\n\nIn CR women answer questions from their own experience\, and then the group uses these testimonies to find the political roots of women’s so-called “personal” problems.\n\nWe will answer these questions:\n\n\nHave you ever seen something racist or experienced racism and opposed it? 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? (For example\, in the workplace\, in public\, social circles\, in political work\, interacting with white people\, etc.).\n\n\nPlease RSVP!

SUMMARY:Abortion Rights Now: Third General Meeting of 2021
DESCRIPTION:*RSVP on Eventbrite* \nIn light of the current court cases in Texas and Mississippi\, NWL will be devoting this month’s general meeting to a discussion of the current state of our fight for abortion rights. There will be brief presentations on the Texas case\, the Mississippi case\, the REMS restrictions on the abortion pill\, and the Women’s Health Protection Act currently before congress\, followed by a discussion on how our organizing should proceed. \nThe Women’s March is calling for nationwide marches in defense of our reproductive rights on October 2nd\, right before the Supreme Court reconvenes. NWL will have a presence at the New York and Florida marches; we will send you more details as they become available. \nFor more discussion on how we should fight for abortion rights\, NWL member Jenny Brown (author of Birth Strike and Without Apology) has written a piece for Jacobin magazine – It’s Time for Abortion Rights Activists to Push a Federal Abortion Rights Law. \n“To listen to the pundits\, you’d think there’s nothing that can be done. But our reproductive freedom is not at the mercy of this unelected panel of anti-abortion justices. In fact\, Congress could pass a law making abortion legal and available throughout the United States\, and there’s not much the Supreme Court or the Texas legislature could do about it.”

SUMMARY:NWL Women of Color Caucus CR
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here \nThe NWL Women of Color Caucus (WOCC) is hosting a community Consciousness-Raising (CR) on Sunday\, Nov. 14 from 3-5pm\, which will be a follow up to the COVID CR series that NWL hosted last year. This meeting is for women* of color only. RSVP required \nThe CR question we will be answering is: \nHow has the COVID-19 pandemic affected you? (health-wise\, economically\, etc.) Has it cost you anything? Have you gained anything? What support did you need during the pandemic that you got? What support did you need during the pandemic that you have not gotten?  \nCR is 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. \n*Cis women\, trans women\, and trans people who are oppressed as women who have a political priority in fighting male supremacy.
