Thanks for your note to FEMINIST.COM
and for your interest in stiring
up the heartland. I think the
best way to start is to decide
what is a problem facing your
community. From--get educated
on the problem and find others
to organize with. A simplier
form of activism is what I call
everday feminism....when you
hear a sexist joke say "that
isn't funny;" when you see someone
being mistreated "help them
out;" write letters to your
newspaper when it says something
you don't agree with; call your
politicians to support and oppose
them (check out the Washington
Feminist Faxnet at FEMINIST.COM
for more information about how
to do this); refuse to buy products
that have ads degrading women
and support those who don't
stereotype women; start a book
club; support a feminist bookstore.....
You should also check out
our Activism
section for more ideas on getting
involved. I hope that's incentive......good
luck
