Hey y'all,

Just thought I'd let you know that Aidan and I are blogging for campus.feministing.com (check it out!). It's a new section on the Feministing website. WSAC is one of only four groups a part of it at the moment. We'll keep you updated when our blogs have been posted!

Kiana Firouz, 27 years old, is an outspoken Iranian LGBT rights activist, filmmaker, and actress. When clips of her video documentary work featuring the struggle and persecution of gays and lesbians in her country were acquired by Iranian intelligence, agents began to follow Firouz around Tehran, harassing and intimidating her. She fled for England where she could safely continue her work and studies.

Although I should be studying up on finals at the moment, I couldn't resist posting this extremely neat site I just ran across. It's actually part of a group exhibit for CONTACT 2010, which I have yet to look up more information on. Anyway, it's called American Able .

My favorite definition of feminism, by bell hooks, says feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. Since SB1070 is all kinds of oppressive, as are the two AZ laws passed forbidding ethnic studies programs in schools and requiring that teachers not have accents, we should definitely do something about it.
