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.

okay everyone,
the end of the semester is quickly approaching (eek) and I'm going to make some stencils so that we can have a DIY WSAC clothing making extravaganza (per the title of this post).

so, what I need from you all: ideas for what you want the stencils to be of....here's what I have so far...

- WSAC (obviously)
- "Ff" and "is for Feminist"
- maybe expanding on this theme...
----"Pp" "is for Pride"
----"Vv" "is for Voice"
----"Ee" "is for Equality"
----etc...

I thought this theme would work well for Pride items too, specifically the tote bags.

We are here today for two reasons – to support the survivors in our community because no one should have to suffer alone, and to stand, together, against violence – against those who perpetrate violence and against a society that normalizes violence.

The Women’s Student Activist Collective strives to empower women, transgender, and gender non-conforming people to make positive changes in society by eliminating interrelated inequalities that produce oppression, with a focus on gender and sexuality.
