Use this phrase to talk about something that should be done now, instead of earlier or later.

Here are several examples from a famous speech from 1963 by Martin Luther King, Jr.:

Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

bring up (a topic)

When you "bring up" a topic, you start talking about it.

The phrase "bring up ___" is like many phrasal verbs. The word "up" immediately follows "bring" most of the time, like in this example:

I brought up the topic of Jessica, but he didn't seem like he wanted to talk about it.

But when you're using short words like "it", "her", "that", "something", etc. you put those words between "bring" and "up":

You should definitely bring that up.
