00:00:00,615 --> 00:00:01,743
Over the past week,

2
00:00:01,743 --> 00:00:03,924
women, people of color, trans and queer folks

3
00:00:03,924 --> 00:00:05,654
and many others across the US

4
00:00:05,654 --> 00:00:07,149
have been targeted in over

5
00:00:07,149 --> 00:00:09,835
400 reported acts of aggression and hate.

6
00:00:09,835 --> 00:00:11,623
This is unacceptable.

7
00:00:11,623 --> 00:00:13,434
Feminist Frequency is founded on the belief

8
00:00:13,434 --> 00:00:14,564
that media matters;

9
00:00:14,564 --> 00:00:15,898
and that there is a very real connection

10
00:00:15,898 --> 00:00:17,563
between the representations and values

11
00:00:17,563 --> 00:00:19,435
embedded in our popular media

12
00:00:19,435 --> 00:00:21,035
and the abuses we're currently seeing

13
00:00:21,035 --> 00:00:22,355
throughout the country.

14
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:23,677
Last week, I posted a video

15
00:00:23,677 --> 00:00:25,355
responding to the election results,

16
00:00:25,355 --> 00:00:26,224
and reminding us all

17
00:00:26,224 --> 00:00:27,747
that we have to call out and address

18
00:00:27,747 --> 00:00:30,074
sexism, racism, and all forms of bigotry

19
00:00:30,074 --> 00:00:32,884
especially as they pervade mass media.

20
00:00:32,884 --> 00:00:34,725
That's what Feminist Frequency does.

21
00:00:34,725 --> 00:00:36,968
And our work is critical right now.

22
00:00:36,968 --> 00:00:38,033
We've heard from you that,

23
00:00:38,033 --> 00:00:38,826
like us,

24
00:00:38,826 --> 00:00:41,055
you're feeling grief and helplessness and rage,

25
00:00:41,055 --> 00:00:41,946
and are looking for ways

26
00:00:41,946 --> 00:00:43,774
to actively combat this hate.

27
00:00:43,774 --> 00:00:45,284
So, throughout the month of December,

28
00:00:45,284 --> 00:00:46,846
we'll be sharing ways that you can plug in

29
00:00:46,846 --> 00:00:48,275
and get involved in the struggle

30
00:00:48,275 --> 00:00:50,716
right now, and for years ahead.

31
00:00:50,716 --> 00:00:53,225
Because of your enthusiastic belief in our work,

32
00:00:53,225 --> 00:00:55,256
Feminist Frequency has achieved so much

33
00:00:55,256 --> 00:00:56,715
over the past four years.

34
00:00:56,715 --> 00:00:58,115
But we still need your help.

35
00:00:58,115 --> 00:00:59,836
Your contribution at this crucial time

36
00:00:59,836 --> 00:01:01,265
ensures that we can keep progressing

37
00:01:01,265 --> 00:01:03,185
over the next four years.

38
00:01:03,185 --> 00:01:05,145
Your donation today can help us continue

39
00:01:05,145 --> 00:01:06,935
to do this vital work.

40
00:01:06,935 --> 00:01:08,546
Let's support each other by challenging

41
00:01:08,546 --> 00:01:11,126
unjust representations of individuals and groups,

42
00:01:11,126 --> 00:01:12,406
and by standing up against

43
00:01:12,406 --> 00:01:15,025
hatred and harassment in our communities.
