About FMF The name Feminist Majority Foundation is a consciousness-raiser, inspired by a 1986 Newsweek/Gallup public opinion poll that showed the majority of women (56%) in the United States self-identified as feminists. Most polls since then reveal that this majority continues with over two-thirds of young women self-identifying as feminists. Most men, especially young men, view themselves as supporters of the women’s rights movement. 71% believe the movement has improved their lives. Today, some 45% of men self-identify as feminists.

The Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF), which was founded in 1987, is a cutting edge organization dedicated to women’s equality, reproductive health, and non-violence. In all spheres, FMF utilizes research and action to empower women economically, socially, and politically. Our organization believes that feminists of all genders are the majority, but this majority must be empowered.

Feminists in Struggle Feminists in Struggle (“FIST”) is a national female-only radical feminist network, democratically run, and composed of individuals born female and affiliated female-only feminist organizations.

We aim to bring together women from diverse radical and revolutionary feminist traditions. FIST welcomes women of every racial, ethnic, and class background, all ages and abilities/disabilities, whether lesbian, heterosexual or bisexual, who share a common set of feminist principles. We are committed to organizing a serious fight-back against the attacks on our rights from multiple quarters. Feminists in Struggle (FIST) wishes to invite any woman (adult human female) who shares our principles to join our ranks. We are a collection of radical feminists who see the need to join together in the defense of the right of all women to speak her truth in a clear voice and to connect with other likeminded women towards the goal of achieving true equality and liberation. If you agree with this, join us.

Feminists in Struggle (“FIST”), Statement of Principles (shortened) WHAT WE STAND FOR:

1. We affirm that women and girls are oppressed based on our biological sex, i.e., the female capacity to bear and birth children.
   
2. We fight for all females, not just the privileged few.
   
3. We are gender role abolitionists seeking an end to socially-imposed roles based on sex that enforce male supremacy.
   
4. We demand an end to all forms of discrimination and harassment based on sex, including the wage gap and de-facto job segregation.  ERA NOW!
   
5. We fight to end racism and the system of white supremacy that oppresses women of color.
   
6. We struggle against all forms of male violence against women whether it takes place in the home, on the street, at work, or in colleges or universities.
   
7. We work for the abolition of prostitution and pornography; we support the adoption of the Nordic model which criminalizes traffickers, pimps, and sex buyers but decriminalizes prostituted women and girls.
   
8. We support complete sovereignty over our bodies and reproductive lives, including free unimpeded access to safe, legal abortion and birth control.
   
9. We defend our fundamental right to female-only spaces, programs and organizations that allow us to collectively resist our sex-based oppression against serious challenges by forces within the transgender movement.
   
10. We call for free childcare, paid parental leave, and other community supports needed to end the double day and empower women to live independent lives.
    
11. We demand an end to discrimination and stigma against lesbians and other women who have intimate relationships with women.
    
12. We reject any alliances or collaboration with the Religious Right or the white supremacist, anti-immigrant Right.
    
13. While the mission of FIST is to build a women’s liberation movement to oppose that which oppresses women because of male supremacy, we recognize the existential threat that the climate crisis and the risk of nuclear war pose to women, to the whole of humanity, and to the future of life on this planet.

Sharon Byrne, Executive Director at Women's Liberation Front We're also reaching out regarding a bad bill coming through the New York Senate: SB1049. The bill is deceptively named, and is almost a copy of a terrible bill California passed in 2020. Here's some of the language from the New York bill:

"establishes that incarcerated individuals shall be presumptively placed in a correctional facility with persons of the gender that most closely aligns with such person's self-attested gender identity unless the person opts out of such placement."

This language allows a man to identify as a woman, and be housed in the women's facility. California did the same thing, and transferred Tremaine Carroll, a convicted sex offender, into the women's facility. He raped two incarcerated women, and is now standing trial. He also has been remanded back to the men's facility. You can read more about his case here, including how the DA is now being forced to refer to Carrol as 'she / her' by the presiding judge.

Don't let this happen in your state. Contact your state senator here, and let them know to vote against SB1049. Men can never be women, and certainly shouldn't be incarcerated with them.

There is going to be a hearing for a 15-week abortion ban tomorrow 1/27 at 9:30am.

The bill is HB476.

Why this is important:

• Some women don’t know they are pregnant at 15 weeks. (I got it mixed up with the 6-week ban, but it is still a risk)
  
• New Hampshire has no abortion exceptions for the “health of the mother.” Meaning you will need to be on the brink of death to get an abortion.
  
• New Hampshire has a trigger law cutting off Medicaid if federal funding gets cut. This would cut off vital medical care for pregnant women below the poverty line.
  
• This infringes on our right to bodily autonomy and freedom. Especially insulting in a state that prides itself on upholding the freedoms of the people.
  
• Republican leadership promised not to touch NH’s current abortion ban. This is a betrayal to the people of New Hampshire.

Simon will share his personal story of desisting from a transgender identity. He will also speak about Berklee's cancellation of his event, the importance of free speech, and bigger picture issues. There will be ample time for questions and open discussion.
