Take action in your local community on national campaigns!

The 2004 election will decide who controls the White House, the US Senate and House of Representatives, and many state legislatures across the country. This election will also determine the fate of issues central to women's lives: reproductive rights, civil rights, human rights, global peace and national security, global trade and economic policies, women's economic equality, and the protection of our environmental resources. Young women have the potential to be a powerful force for change in this country. In the year 2000, the presidential election was decided by 537 votes in Florida. A shift of only 2,772 votes nationwide in 2000 would have reversed the party balance in the US House of Representatives. In 2004 women's voices must be heard. Stand up and be counted! Vote November 2! Help us register others to vote!

The US and the world community must make a commitment to reconstruction and peacekeeping in Afghanistan that establishes a strong civil society, democracy, and economy and includes Afghan women in every aspect. Get involved by starting an Action Team. Action teams directly help support schools, clinics, and other humanitarian programs run by Afghan women's non-profit organizations in Pakistan and Afghanistan and by the Ministry of Women's Affairs. Action teams also work to collect petition signatures urging President Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell to support the restoration of the rights of Afghan women and girls, to ensure the leadership of Afghan women and Afghan women-led non-governmental organizations in the rebuilding of Afghanistan, and to urge US funding for other important policy points for the future of Afghanistan, Afghan women and girls, and Afghan refugees. Action teams can be a group of friends, a classroom, an office, a Girl Scout troop, or a community organization. more>>>

The Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF) started the Campus Program to inform young feminists of the very real threats to abortion access, women's rights, affirmative action, and LGBT rights posed by right wing extremists. FMF works with students on college campuses to affect change at the grassroots, national and global levels. The Campus Program is built upon FMF's philosophy that the most effective activism is informed activism, or study to action. Our program provides progressive students with opportunities to learn about cutting-edge feminist issues, develop their leadership and organizing skills, and be connected with the larger pro-choice and feminist movements. For more information visit FeministCampus.org. To get involved with FMF on your campus contact our Campus Team at CampusTeam@feminist.org or 1-866-444-FMLA.

In addition to our Volunteer Program, the Feminist Majority and Feminist Majority Foundation seek highly motivated undergraduate students who aspire to become leaders in the feminist movement to serve as interns in our Washington, DC and Los Angeles offices. Feminist Majority and Feminist Majority Foundation internships provide students with a behind-the-scenes look at the women's movement. Each intern is given a wide variety of responsibilities, such as monitoring press conferences and public hearings, researching, writing, policy analysis, and organizing events and demonstrations. more>>
