Thanks
for your note to Feminist.com, but mostly for taking the time
to educate your classmates about
the ways that women still face
injustices. At Third
Wave, an organization I
co-founded, our philosophy is
"See It? Tell It. Change It!"--meaning
that the first step in changing
things is to acknowledge that
these things exist (i.e. these
injustices). The next step is
to 1.) educate/alert others
to these injustices and 2.)
to work together to devise ways
to change it--these both happening
via forums in which we can "tell
it" or share it--which seems
exactly the medium that you
are trying to provide.
If you like I can send you Third
Wave's "How To Kits"--which
include how to "Network/Organize"--basically
a framework in which to begin
to organize people. Also, the
National
Organization for Women has
helped to start a few clubs
in high schools across the country--perhaps
they could help you.
Let
me know if you want me to send
the "How To Kits"--and to which
address they should be sent.
After you have a chance to look
at them, I'd be happy to go
about helping you to specifically
set an agenda for the upcoming
school year. Let me know.
