Over the past week,

0:00:01.743,0:00:03.924
women, people of color, trans and queer folks

0:00:03.924,0:00:05.654
and many others across the US

0:00:05.654,0:00:07.149
have been targeted in over

0:00:07.149,0:00:09.835
400 reported acts of aggression and hate.

0:00:09.835,0:00:11.623
This is unacceptable.

0:00:11.623,0:00:13.434
Feminist Frequency is founded on the belief

0:00:13.434,0:00:14.564
that media matters;

0:00:14.564,0:00:15.898
and that there is a very real connection

0:00:15.898,0:00:17.563
between the representations and values

0:00:17.563,0:00:19.435
embedded in our popular media

0:00:19.435,0:00:21.035
and the abuses we're currently seeing

0:00:21.035,0:00:22.355
throughout the country.

0:00:22.355,0:00:23.677
Last week, I posted a video

0:00:23.677,0:00:25.355
responding to the election results,

0:00:25.355,0:00:26.224
and reminding us all

0:00:26.224,0:00:27.747
that we have to call out and address

0:00:27.747,0:00:30.074
sexism, racism, and all forms of bigotry

0:00:30.074,0:00:32.884
especially as they pervade mass media.

0:00:32.884,0:00:34.725
That's what Feminist Frequency does.

0:00:34.725,0:00:36.968
And our work is critical right now.

0:00:36.968,0:00:38.033
We've heard from you that,

0:00:38.033,0:00:38.826
like us,

0:00:38.826,0:00:41.055
you're feeling grief and helplessness and rage,

0:00:41.055,0:00:41.946
and are looking for ways

0:00:41.946,0:00:43.774
to actively combat this hate.

0:00:43.774,0:00:45.284
So, throughout the month of December,

0:00:45.284,0:00:46.846
we'll be sharing ways that you can plug in

0:00:46.846,0:00:48.275
and get involved in the struggle

0:00:48.275,0:00:50.716
right now, and for years ahead.

0:00:50.716,0:00:53.225
Because of your enthusiastic belief in our work,

0:00:53.225,0:00:55.256
Feminist Frequency has achieved so much

0:00:55.256,0:00:56.715
over the past four years.

0:00:56.715,0:00:58.115
But we still need your help.

0:00:58.115,0:00:59.836
Your contribution at this crucial time

0:00:59.836,0:01:01.265
ensures that we can keep progressing

0:01:01.265,0:01:03.185
over the next four years.

0:01:03.185,0:01:05.145
Your donation today can help us continue

0:01:05.145,0:01:06.935
to do this vital work.

0:01:06.935,0:01:08.546
Let's support each other by challenging

0:01:08.546,0:01:11.126
unjust representations of individuals and groups,

0:01:11.126,0:01:12.406
and by standing up against

0:01:12.406,0:01:15.025
hatred and harassment in our communities.
