Feminism School exists to support leaders changing the culture.
It is founded on one key idea: That teaching the histories of how feminist foremothers built coalitions across difference gives us the tools to change our world, too.
How do we transform injustices?
-
We know that our joy, our wonder, and our creative purpose are essential to reimagining the world and core to a trauma-informed approach to change.
-
We know, in the words of the great Black feminist ancestor bell hooks, that feminism is for everyone and men are called to participate, too, in building a world that heals domination and hierarchies.
-
We know that ripples grow to waves and that personal, spiritual, and collective transformation are interconnected.
