Sexual assault is a serious issue on college campuses. To me, this is the most repeated phrase I hear when discussing sexual assault. I have heard it from my professors, I’ve heard it from the president of my college, I’ve heard it from the provost, staff members, classmates, documentaries, the media, news, my coworkers, politicians, […]
#VoteFeminist: In Alabama and West Virginia, Abortion Access is on the Ballot
During the entirety of September, I participated in calls to action, demonstrations, and marches, met with senators, and did anything I could do to try to keep Brett Kavanaugh off of the Supreme Court.

Feminist Wins of the Week
If we’re being completely honest, this week wasn’t the best. (In fact, all of this week’s wins are from last week.) It’s been hard to find Feminist Wins when so many lives are at stake. Still, I believe that reading some good news can brighten people’s moods, even if it’s only for a split second. […]

Happy Roe Day! (And Other Feminist Wins of the Week)
If you’ve watched or tuned into the news recently, you probably know that last week was a devastating week featuring a government shutdown.

And today […]
