Over snacks and wine\, we strengthen our personal narratives and educate our communities about our priority issue areas. No expertise necessary! \nThis upcoming consciousness raising event is about dismantling white feminism. “White feminism is the label given to feminist efforts and actions that uplift white women but that exclude or otherwise fail to address issues faced by minority groups\, especially women of color and LGBTQ women.” According to Dictionary.com. \nJust like we ask our members to hold their elected officials\, workplaces and institutions accountable\, we have to model what that looks like in our own organization too. Read our recent statement on what this look likes for Mass NOW on our website and reading these resources from SURJ to inspire our conversations. \nVisit the Mass NOW Facebook event page for additional information: https://www.facebook.com/events/303356514041212/ URL:https://flnow.org/event/consciousness-raising-dismantling-white-feminism-within-now/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200717T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200717T133000 DTSTAMP:20260403T193433 CREATED:20200717T110822Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200717T110822Z UID:2612-1594989000-1594992600@flnow.org SUMMARY:Women in Criminal Justice with FL NOW & Miami NOW DESCRIPTION:Topic: Women in Criminal Justice with FL NOW & Miami NOW\nTime: Jul 17\, 2020 12:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87822069970?pwd=VmpWNzE4L09Pd0FiUnJVMDFzUjB4QT09\nMeeting ID: 878 2206 9970 URL:https://flnow.org/event/women-in-criminal-justice-with-fl-now-miami-now/ LOCATION:Online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200823T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200823T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T193433 CREATED:20200805T110312Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200805T110827Z UID:2637-1598187600-1598191200@flnow.org SUMMARY:Florida NOW Council Meeting DESCRIPTION:Join Florida NOW President Kim Porteous online for a statewide FL NOW Council MeetingTime: Aug 23\, 2020 01:00 PM Eastern Time This will be a ZOOM meeting.  Please contact us for link information to the online meeting. \nEmail your requests to join to communications@flnow.org \nBear Atwood will serve as Parliamentarian for this Council meeting.

August 26th at 10:30 am on Zoom or FB Live \nFlorida NOW endorsed candidates\, especially women of color\, had a landslide victory in the primary this year. Support seven of our FL NOW endorsed candidates as they speak out on equality!! \nJoin us Wednesday\, August 26th\, 2020 at 10:30 am\, Florida National Organization for Women in conjunction with Florida NOW endorsed candidates across the state will hold an online press conference and speak out to celebrate Women’s Equality Day and urge women\, people oppressed and marginalized because of their gender\, gender identity\, and/or gender expression\, and our allies to get celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the 19th Amendment this year by registering to vote by mail and voting for equality this November. \nAlthough women achieved the right to vote in 1920\, Women’s Equality Day wasn’t celebrated until 1971 after Congress passed a resolution to mark the occasion annually. In 2020\, a 100 years after the passage of the 19th Amendment\, women\, gender non-conforming people\, and non-binary people in the United States still do not have equal rights under the law and lag significantly behind in representation. In 2020\, 127 women (26 in the Senate and 101 in the House of Representatives) hold seats in the US Congress. In 2020\, women comprise only 23.7% of the 535 members of Congress and transgender\, gender non-conforming or non-binary people have zero representation. \nThe Florida Legislature is also a bastion of male patriarchy and representation. In 2020\, 48 of Florida’s 160 legislators are women and transgender\, gender non-conforming or non-binary people have zero representation in the Florida Legislature. \nFlorida NOW is fighting to change that this year. \nJoin us online as Florida NOW endorsed candidates across the state speak out about equality and policy measures they are ready to fight for to end discrimination against women and other oppressed genders and increase women’s and oppressed gender representation in government. Women and people oppressed on the basis of gender and gender identity deserve equality and together we will continue to speak up and VOTE until equality is achieved. \nWHO: Florida National Organization for Women and Florida NOW Endorsed Candidates: \nRep Loranne Ausley (FL Senate District 3) \nRep. Fentrice Driskell (FL House District 63) \nTracey Kagan (FL House District 29) \nCommissioner Daniella Levine Cava (Mayor Miami-Dade) \nRep.
