Florida Now Screening: Free Angela & All Political Prisoners
2026-02-15 14:00 - 16:00
Join us for a powerful community screening and conversation about the life, activism, and political persecution of Angela Davis. This documentary traces how state repression, racism, and surveillance shaped one of the most important liberation movements of the 20th century, and how those same systems continue to impact organizers, Black communities, and political prisoners today.
As Florida heads into another difficult legislative session, we’re grounding ourselves in history, solidarity, and collective learning. This virtual gathering is open to everyone who wants to better understand how these struggles connect to the work we’re doing now in our local communities.

Florida NOW Screening: The Librarians (Virtual)
2026-04-18 14:00 - 16:00
Join Florida NOW, TX NOW, and NETNOW for a virtual screening of “The Librarians” on Saturday, April 18th at 2 pm ET, 1 pm CT. The documentary follows librarians in Florida and Texas as they confront intimidation, harassment, and threats of violence for defending access to books, information, and intellectual freedom from coordinated censorship efforts.

As book bans and attacks on public education escalate, librarians are on the front lines of protecting free expression, LGBTQ+ stories, racial justice histories, and the right of young people to learn and question the world around them.
Watch the trailer here.
After the film, we will have a short collective chat. We invite you to gather with us as we reflect, learn, and stay connected to the intersectional struggles we are facing.

Florida NOW for Anti-Racism Learning Book Club - “Asian American Histories of the United States: (ReVisioning History #7)” by Catherine Ceniza Choy
2026-05-18 18:30 - 19:30
Join Florida NOW for Anti-Racism Learning Book Club as we read and discuss “Asian American Histories of the United States: (ReVisioning History #7)” by Catherine Ceniza Choy on Zoom, Monday, May 18th, 6:30 pm ET.
Full list here: https://flnow.org/book-club/
In this book, historian Catherine Ceniza Choy provides an accessible overview of Asian American history, tracing how Asian communities have shaped and been shaped by U.S. history. The book examines key moments including immigration, labor exploitation, exclusion and immigration laws, war, and the ongoing struggle for civil rights and belonging.
As an organization committed to intersectional feminism, Florida NOW believes that confronting white supremacy within our movements is essential. Without intersectionality, feminism fails to address the full scope of injustice.
This virtual gathering will offer space for thoughtful dialogue, reflection, and collective learning as we continue building a feminist movement rooted in racial justice and collective liberation. OPEN TO ALL.
