Feb. 4, from 6-7:30 pm – WFRI's Feminist Activist Book (FAB) Group will meet to discuss Toni Morrison's Beloved. Hailed as a modern classic and awarded the Pulitzer Prize, Beloved tells a story that the New York Times called a "hair-raiser." Part historical fiction focused on the years before and after the Civil War, part ghost story in the most haunting sense, and part feminist rendering of Sethe's incredible power. Sethe is the main character who will lead us through a most-memorable novel. FAB meetings are hybrid so, when you register, please indicate if you'll be joining in person or remotely. If you can join us in person, please bring an appetizer to share! Register here: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/eventswfri/event/fgmfabgc/

Feb. 19, from 6-8pm (tentative)- Preconceived screening: In partnership with the RI Abortion Fund, we are screening the film Preconceived. Where does someone turn when facing an unplanned pregnancy? Preconceived tells the stories of Maleeha and Maria, two women who, while navigating unplanned pregnancies, inadvertently found themselves at facilities discouraging them from abortions. The film is a window into these enigmatic centers that some call “pregnancy resource centers” and others call “fake clinics.” The film underscores the significance of understanding the resources available to pregnant people.
