We send best wishes to our community during these challenging times.
Feminist.com marked our 25-year anniversary in 2020, and like everyone, our plans for marking the occasion and our other in-person programming were sidetracked by the coronavirus pandemic. In response we created COVID Gendered (our partnership with What Will It Take Movements) dedicated to fostering a national conversation about the impact of the pandemic on women and other marginalized voices. Through this digital newsletter and online platform, we highlight solutions, distribute resources and actions, and build community.
We Are Linked Not Ranked Bracelets
Last fall, we launched a campaign around the Gloria Steinem We Are Linked Not Ranked Bracelet, the sale of which benefits Feminist.com. We sold out of an initial limited edition, but the bracelets are now back in stock. Recently, the bracelets received renewed attention when Gloria gifted the bracelets to Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, during a taping of MAKERS and discussed the message of We Are Linked Not Ranked: "'We are linked, not ranked' is the shortest way I've ever found to express our overarching goal," Steinem told Markle. "It means everything to me on every level," Markle responded.
The story and bracelets received widespread media attention, with features in high-profile outlets including The New York Times, People, Refinery29, Marie Claire, Huffington Post, and British Vogue among others.
The message of the bracelets is one of unity and interconnection, across differences and divides. And it is especially timely and powerful in this moment.Stay tuned for more updates in 2021 as this initiative grows!

Now's Our Chance: After A Tumultuous 2020, Women Leaders Share 8 Ways To Rebuild A Better World
And as we closed out the year, Marianne Schnall, executive director and founder of Feminist.com, reached out to a diverse group of prominent women leaders - in a piece for Forbes and COVID Gendered - who shared their insights and expertise on where we must focus our efforts to ensure the world that emerges post COVID-19 is more just, sustainable and equitable. Now's Our Chance: After A Tumultuous 2020, Women Leaders Share 8 Ways To Rebuild A Better World.
As we look ahead to 2021 and all the work that must be done, our hope is that the wisdom of these women will help guide us forward. May it serve as a beacon of hope and a call to action for us all to get involved and use our time, talents, and resources to build a better world.
Finally, as we look forward to the next 25 years, our mission remains unchanged: to make Feminist.com the home for feminism online by building a digital infrastructure that can convene and amplify diverse feminist voices, and support and unite the modern feminist movement towards greater activism, inclusivity, and equality of all genders. We are re-imagining a new Feminist.com - stay tuned for more details as our plans evolve!
