How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Radical History and Archival Preservation for Movement Continuity 14 orgsmethodology: radical historyBy preserving and systematically organizing foundational feminist texts and activist histories, we sustain ideological clarity and intergenerational learning, because historical continuity strengthens the coherence and strategic depth of the women's liberation movement.shared approach: Archival Activism →
- Consciousness-Raising as Political Education and Organizingmethodology: consciousness-raisingBy facilitating public speakouts and collective sharing of personal experiences—particularly around abortion and reproductive oppression—we generate political analysis and mobilize grassroots action, because lived experience is treated as authoritative knowledge that fuels feminist consciousness and movement-building.
- Direct Action to Assert Women's Lived Experience as Authoritymethodology: radical-feminist-analysisBy disrupting male-dominated policy spaces and cultural institutions, we assert women’s lived experience as legitimate political knowledge, because challenging institutional power directly shifts the terms of feminist discourse and demands accountability.
- Structural Feminism and Social Wage Advocacymethodology: structural-feminismBy advocating for national health care and publicly funded care services, we challenge the economic foundations of male supremacy and women’s dependence on unpaid domestic labor, because systemic gender equity requires the socialization of reproductive and family care.
