SUMMARY:Access to Abortion Care: The Tampa Bay Abortion Fund
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a presentation by the team at the Tampa Bay Abortion Fund\, a local nonprofit that “walks the walk” by connecting people with the abortion services they need\, and funding their care.

It assists pregnant people with low incomes seeking abortion at abortion providers in Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties. A network of dedicated volunteers provides ancillary services including rides\, childcare\, case management\, judicial bypass\, condoms\, emergency contraception\, and other services for clients in need. \nAlso\, we will hear from a Pinellas NOW member who is dedicated to providing client escorts at Bread and Roses Women’s Health Center. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86935685042 \nMeeting ID: 869 3568 5042\nOne tap mobile\n+16468769923\,\,86935685042# US (New York) \nDial in\n+1 646 876 9923\nMeeting ID: 869 3568 5042

This is why End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI) created Start by Believing (SBB)\, a global campaign challenging each of us to do better.

Florida NOW is hosting our very own Start By Believing training on April 7th at 1:00 PM EST. Special guest Alison Jones-Lockwood from EVAWI will be conducting this training.\n\n \nPlease register at https://forms.gle/3W11FMdvMGkRy4RS7\n\n \nThis training will equip our members to join a local Sexual Assault Response Team and act as “Start By Believing” facilitators\, with the goal of helping all law enforcement agencies in Florida to complete a Start By Believing training and take the pledge!\nTogether we can make sure all sexual assault victims in Florida are met with belief and support.

SUMMARY:Join FL NOW with a Virtual Movie on Sunday\, April 27th 2pm - 4pm
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of Violence Against Women Awareness Month\, Florida NOW invites everyone to join us for the virtual showing of Behind The Rage: America’s Domestic Violence on Sunday\, April 27 from 2-4PM. In 2020 there were 106\,615 DV crimes reported by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. (It is common knowledge that there are far more cases that go unreported.) This seventy minute documentary made by the women’s rights activist and BAFTA\, Peabody\, and Emmy-winning filmmaker Deeyah Khan explores male violence against the women they claim to love – and asks if\, behind the rage\, rehabilitation and change is possible. Khan interviews victims\, families of victims\, and perpetrators to learn how to eliminate this horrific crime. Particularly compelling is the story of a paralyzed survivor\, who takes a stunning ultra compassionate restorative justice approach. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85965268740?pwd=hp6p5crobZUHBCOcka6oajSZHBauN5.1 \nMeeting ID: 859 6526 8740\nPasscode: 072542

SUMMARY:Sunday\, August 17th\, 2025\, 2pm /Two Movies Showing!
DESCRIPTION:This month we give you two movies about Racial Injustice. \n\n\nFL NOW is covering two elements of American history on Sunday\, August 17th that are appalling and not taught today in any real fashion: “An Outrage” and “Banished” when thousands of African Americans were driven from their homes and communities by violent racist mobs.  \n\n\nWe need to know more about the real American history to understand the deep wounds which still fester.  \n\n\nWe hope you’ll make it a point of attending the showing and partake in the discussion of these two documentaries. \n\n\nWe have allowed about 2.5 hours which is a bit long but is so important to our education of the real America. \n\n\nThe Zoom link is: \n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83733296430?pwd=jsEERhRqnjJp2OtcT5oyFPtKelR4A3.1 \n\n\nMeeting ID: 837 3329 6430 \n\n\nPasscode: 719725 \n\n\nSee you there! \n\n\n  \n\n\nAn Outrage: A Documentary Film About the Lynching in the American South—34 minutes \n\n\nIT’S TIME TO RECOVER OUR HISTORY \n\n\nAN OUTRAGE is a documentary film about lynching in the American South. Filmed on-location at lynching sites in six states and bolstered by the memories and perspectives of descendants\, community activists\, and scholars\, this unusual historical documentary seeks to educate even as it serves as a hub for action to remember and reflect upon a long-hidden past. \n\n\nThousands of African Americans confronted\, resisted\, endured\, and perished during the era of lynching in the American South. Beginning with the end of the Civil War and continuing well into the middle of the twentieth century\, this extralegal\, socially-sanctioned practice of torture and murder claimed the lives of more than 4\,000 African American men\, women\, and children. This past is little-discussed today\, even as its wounds fester. \n\n\nBanished vividly recovers the too-quickly forgotten history of racial cleansing in America when thousands of African Americans were driven from their homes and communities by violent\, racist mobs. The film places these events in the context of present day race relations by following three concrete cases where black and white citizens warily explore if there is common ground for reconciliation over these expulsions. Banished raises this larger question: will the United States ever make meaningful reparations for the human rights abuses suffered\, then and now\, against its African American citizens? Can reconciliation between the races be possible without them? \nBetween 1860 and 1920 hundreds of U.S. counties expelled their black residents. The pattern was depressingly similar in almost all cases. The counties tended to have small\, defenseless black populations. A black man was rumored to have assaulted a white woman\, was lynched and then white rioters attacked black neighborhoods with guns and firebombs. Few black property owners had time to sell their properties nor dared return to repossess them. Whites could then illegally assume ownership of them. African Americans not only lost their hard-won homes\, farms and businesses\, but saw their communities and families dispersed and their very right to exist violated.

SUMMARY:FL NOW Movie Event -  Sunday\, October 19th\, 2pm - movie "GET OUT"
DESCRIPTION:GET OUT Screening- Sign up here \nOne of the biggest movies about race to ever go mainstream\, the Academy Award-nominated Get Out from Jordan Peele (who has never made a bad movie) has probably said more about the hypocrisy of white Liberalism and its intersection with black culture than any other film in American history. The movie is about 50% humorous\, 50% terrifying\, and 100% insightful. You’ve probably already seen it but see it again. It has layers and there’s probably still a lot for you to uncover.
