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

Over the past week,

women, people of color, trans and queer folks

and many others across the US

have been targeted in over

400 reported acts of aggression and hate.

This is unacceptable.

Feminist Frequency is founded on the belief

that media matters;

and that there is a very real connection

between the representations and values

embedded in our popular media

and the abuses we're currently seeing

throughout the country.

Last week, I posted a video

responding to the election results,

and reminding us all

that we have to call out and address

sexism, racism, and all forms of bigotry

especially as they pervade mass media.

That's what Feminist Frequency does.

And our work is critical right now.

We've heard from you that,

like us,

you're feeling grief and helplessness and rage,

and are looking for ways

to actively combat this hate.

So, throughout the month of December,

we'll be sharing ways that you can plug in

and get involved in the struggle

right now, and for years ahead.

Because of your enthusiastic belief in our work,

Feminist Frequency has achieved so much

over the past four years.

But we still need your help.

Your contribution at this crucial time

ensures that we can keep progressing

over the next four years.

Your donation today can help us continue

to do this vital work.

Let's support each other by challenging

unjust representations of individuals and groups,

and by standing up against

hatred and harassment in our communities.
