We were planning to celebrate. Now we’re planning to act.

  • 0:01 - 0:02
    Over the past week,
  • 0:02 - 0:04
    women, people of color, trans and queer folks
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    and many others across the US
  • 0:06 - 0:07
    have been targeted in over
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    400 reported acts of aggression and hate.
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    This is unacceptable.
  • 0:12 - 0:13
    Feminist Frequency is founded on the belief
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    that media matters;
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    and that there is a very real connection
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    between the representations and values
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    embedded in our popular media
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    and the abuses we're currently seeing
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    throughout the country.
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    Last week, I posted a video
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    responding to the election results,
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    and reminding us all
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    that we have to call out and address
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    sexism, racism, and all forms of bigotry
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    especially as they pervade mass media.
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    That's what Feminist Frequency does.
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    And our work is critical right now.
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    We've heard from you that,
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    like us,
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    you're feeling grief and helplessness and rage,
  • 0:41 - 0:42
    and are looking for ways
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    to actively combat this hate.
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    So, throughout the month of December,
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    we'll be sharing ways that you can plug in
  • 0:47 - 0:48
    and get involved in the struggle
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    right now, and for years ahead.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    Because of your enthusiastic belief in our work,
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    Feminist Frequency has achieved so much
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    over the past four years.
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    But we still need your help.
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    Your contribution at this crucial time
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    ensures that we can keep progressing
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    over the next four years.
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    Your donation today can help us continue
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    to do this vital work.
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    Let's support each other by challenging
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    unjust representations of individuals and groups,
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    and by standing up against
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    hatred and harassment in our communities.
