Banned Together Inauguration/MLK Day Virtual Event
2025-01-20 08:00 - 2025-01-22 17:00
Dear Friends,

I urge you to take advantage of the unique screening opportunity described below as well as forward it to your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, many of whom may be unaware that the movement to ban books is likely to gain added momentum after tomorrow‘s inaugural ceremony. Better yet, share it with them in person or virtually by hosting a viewing party in your home during the two-day “window” the film is available beginning January 20 at 12:01 EST
Please use the link provided for all of the details.

PS: As a clip from the enclosed trailer reminds us, it’s important “to organize, stand up and speak with a unified voice to protect our freedom to read.”

Thanks,

Special Opportunity!

We are holding a Banned Together Inauguration/MLK Day Virtual Event of the film on Jan. 20th – if people are looking for “alternative programming”...

We expect this will attract a few thousand viewers – we have a lot of support for doing this.
This is a ticketed event – and works much like renting a film on Amazon Prime – you pay a ticket price, and on the 20th you can start watching the film (any time) and you have access for 48 hours after that day. Open to anyone who wants to watch the film.

I hope you can provide the information far and wide to your membership!

All of the details are on the actual landing page – this is the page you would send out to people you think may want to watch the film!

Banned Together | Banned Together Inauguration/MLK Day Virtual Event | Banned Together
A diverse cast of visionary teenagers and intriguing characters, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and profanity-laced school board meetings: this is the world of the explosive new feature documentary, Banned Together. The film pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools.
watch.eventive.org

AND we’re planning to have 5-6 special video messages prior to the film that day – from Jodi Picoult, Ellen Hopkins, and more more surprise celebrity guests…..only for the viewers who participate on that day.

ERA Victory Webinar
2025-01-24 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom or Other Virtual Platform
Register here: https://www.ncjw.org/events/a-century-in-the-making-era-yes/?emci=69388bda-40d8-ef11-88d0-0022482a9d92&emdi=bf094d8d-0fd9-ef11-88d0-0022482a9d92&ceid=11902204

Last Friday, in one of his last acts before leaving office, President Biden issued a statement recognizing the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution and declared the ERA to be the law of the land. For decades, NCJW has mobilized millions of advocates to make the ERA a reality and now we celebrate this recognition.
So what exactly does this recognition mean for our rights? And as we turn the page on a new administration, there are many more questions. Does the ERA have legal standing as the 28th Amendment? How can we use it to protect our rights? And, what’s next in the fight for gender equality?

Join us this Friday, January 24 at 12:00 PM ET for A Century in the Making: ERA Yes!, a webinar for the Jewish community about the ERA victory as well as its future. We will cover the legal confusion, what the president’s statement means, where the ERA stands, and how the fight is not over.
You won’t want to miss our speakers, including Sheila Katz, CEO of National Council of Jewish Women; Kate Kelly, ERA expert and Senior Director for the Women’s Initiative at Center for American Progress; Zakiya Thomas, President and CEO of the ERA Coalition and ERA Coalition Forward, Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch, CEO of Women of Reform Judaism, and more! Co-sponsored by Keshet, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, Women of Reform Judaism, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Zioness, and Bend the Arc.

POSTPONED: A Special Evening Where Art Meets Abortion Care
2025-02-18 19:00 - 21:00
CHECK AGAIN SOON FOR AN UPDATE!
Enjoy a special evening with us where art meets abortion care.

Along with sponsors Linda and Don Silpe, EMA Abortion Fund is hosting a private reading from Blood of the Lamb, a powerful Off-Broadway production with guests Arlene Hutton, the playwright, and actor Dana Brooke.

The play seems ripped from the headlines: a pregnant woman finds herself detained in a Texas airport with an unexpected adversary… a court appointed attorney assigned to represent her baby.

This electrifying thriller features two women with opposing beliefs, forced to navigate the bureaucratic chaos of post-Roe America. After the reading, Hutton and Brooke will participate in a Q&A with EMA’s Executive Director, Jessica Hatem, to end the night.

Arrive early to drink some champagne before the reading starts!

Register on Eventbrite

We hope to see you there.

The Zora Experience Festival 2025: Ft. Pierce
2025-04-05 09:00 - 15:00
We want to extend a personal save-the-date invitation to you for our Annual Zora Experience Festival 2025 which will be held on Saturday, April 5th from 9 am -3 pm.

Your presence would be valued as we unite the community to celebrate the local icon, Zora Neale Hurston. This event will be filled with live & local entertainment, vendors, food trucks, Zora Dust Track tours, children’s entertainment, and much more.

It is a perfect occasion to connect with the community, your industry peers, and make memorable moments. Please mark your calendar as we are excited to share this special day with you.

The Zora Neale Hurston Florida Education Foundation (ZNHFEF) has a unique mission, which is to preserve and promote the literary and local legacy of the world-renowned author and anthropologist, Zora Neale Hurston.
Recently, St. Lucie County transferred ownership of the former St. Lucie County Welfare Home and Agape Center to the ZNHFEF. The facility once served as a segregated nursing home and a senior daycare center for many years. This building is where Zora spent her final days before passing there in 1960. Now, the location is a designated historic sight in the City of Fort Pierce.
The ZNHFEF is in the process of renovating this facility to create The Zora Neale Hurston Dust Tracks Museum & Enrichment Center. Currently, the renovations to restore the building are 50% complete.
For more information about the festival (events page/tab) and to view our renovation pictures (renovation page/tab) on our website or call us at (772) 979-3130.

Erasing Women: What the Trump Administration Means for Women
2025-04-05 11:30 - 12:30
Under the Trump administration, federal agencies are now limiting or avoiding the use of hundreds of words, including females, feminism, gender, gender-based violence, LGBTQ, stereotypes, victim, and women. We will ponder the meanings of these and other banned words, consider their role in women’s liberation, and discuss what we must do to fight this erasure of women’s presence, being and significance.
Presentation & discussion by Jane Caputi, PhD, a radical feminist who has long taught women, gender, and sexuality studies, as well as making films and writing books.

2025-04-23 08:00 - 17:00
Hello DWC members and friends, please call your Florida Representative to vote NO on the book banning bill HB 1539 before it comes to the floor, 1:00 PM Thursday April 24!
HB 1539 would force schools to remove any book with sexually explicit content–even science books, and regardless of students’ age–upon one complaint, even from a non parent.
And quoting HB 1539, “The school district may not consider potential literary, artistic, political, or scientific value as a basis for retaining the material.”
