00:00:00.615 --> 00:00:01.743
Over the past week,

00:00:01.743 --> 00:00:03.924
women, people of color, trans and queer folks

00:00:03.924 --> 00:00:05.654
and many others across the US

00:00:05.654 --> 00:00:07.149
have been targeted in over

00:00:07.149 --> 00:00:09.835
400 reported acts of aggression and hate.

00:00:09.835 --> 00:00:11.623
This is unacceptable.

00:00:11.623 --> 00:00:13.434
Feminist Frequency is founded on the belief

00:00:13.434 --> 00:00:14.564
that media matters;

00:00:14.564 --> 00:00:15.898
and that there is a very real connection

00:00:15.898 --> 00:00:17.563
between the representations and values

00:00:17.563 --> 00:00:19.435
embedded in our popular media

00:00:19.435 --> 00:00:21.035
and the abuses we're currently seeing

00:00:21.035 --> 00:00:22.355
throughout the country.

00:00:22.355 --> 00:00:23.677
Last week, I posted a video

00:00:23.677 --> 00:00:25.355
responding to the election results,

00:00:25.355 --> 00:00:26.224
and reminding us all

00:00:26.224 --> 00:00:27.747
that we have to call out and address

00:00:27.747 --> 00:00:30.074
sexism, racism, and all forms of bigotry

00:00:30.074 --> 00:00:32.884
especially as they pervade mass media.

00:00:32.884 --> 00:00:34.725
That's what Feminist Frequency does.

00:00:34.725 --> 00:00:36.968
And our work is critical right now.

00:00:36.968 --> 00:00:38.033
We've heard from you that,

00:00:38.033 --> 00:00:38.826
like us,

00:00:38.826 --> 00:00:41.055
you're feeling grief and helplessness and rage,

00:00:41.055 --> 00:00:41.946
and are looking for ways

00:00:41.946 --> 00:00:43.774
to actively combat this hate.

00:00:43.774 --> 00:00:45.284
So, throughout the month of December,

00:00:45.284 --> 00:00:46.846
we'll be sharing ways that you can plug in

00:00:46.846 --> 00:00:48.275
and get involved in the struggle

00:00:48.275 --> 00:00:50.716
right now, and for years ahead.

00:00:50.716 --> 00:00:53.225
Because of your enthusiastic belief in our work,

00:00:53.225 --> 00:00:55.256
Feminist Frequency has achieved so much

00:00:55.256 --> 00:00:56.715
over the past four years.

00:00:56.715 --> 00:00:58.115
But we still need your help.

00:00:58.115 --> 00:00:59.836
Your contribution at this crucial time

00:00:59.836 --> 00:01:01.265
ensures that we can keep progressing

00:01:01.265 --> 00:01:03.185
over the next four years.

00:01:03.185 --> 00:01:05.145
Your donation today can help us continue

00:01:05.145 --> 00:01:06.935
to do this vital work.

00:01:06.935 --> 00:01:08.546
Let's support each other by challenging

00:01:08.546 --> 00:01:11.126
unjust representations of individuals and groups,

00:01:11.126 --> 00:01:12.406
and by standing up against

00:01:12.406 --> 00:01:15.025
hatred and harassment in our communities.
