Feminist Action Club

Feminist Action is about bringing an activist spirit to our campus. We're interested in anti-oppression politics and action over words.

While our activism is based on a radical, anti-racist, queer, grassroots lens, we do recognize the multiple interpretations of feminism and celebrate and support this diversity.

We also recognize that the history of the feminist movement in North America has been one that has excluded the voices and opinions of marginalized women. Thus we hope that our grassroots approach will allow us to dismantle structures of power from the bottom up, while being as fluid as possible.

Our aim is to work outside of societal systems in order to question what we consider normal. It is through this activism that we hope to blur traditional identity categories and structures of power in our fight for equity.

All are welcome: students, non-students, those in the Gender & Women’s Studies and Sexuality Studies programs, and anyone with a natural interest or inclination toward feminism.
