This is from Feministing.com and has some startling information about American Women's colleges. At the end is information about whom to contact, and also an event on April 6.
This is a video which is part of a campaign to spread awareness about homophobia in Jamaica. Also, the song included in the video is a song by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis called "Same Love" from their album "The Heist". Great song.
Tumblr, we need you! A rogue Arizona State representative, John Kavanagh, wants to pass a bill that would throw trans people in jail for using public restrooms. Anyone could be asked for I.D. to “prove” their gender, and if there’s a discrepancy they could face a fine or jailtime.
When asked why the bill targeted trans people, Kavanagh explained that it’s because he thinks “they’re weird.” Outrageous.
We can stop this bill by taking action at www.allout.org/arizona and spreading the word far and wide. Will you help?

The journal builds on these programs by publishing related scholarship and other applicable resources.

Black & Pink is an open family of LGBTQ prisoners and “free world” allies who support each other. Our work toward the abolition of the prison industrial complex is rooted in the experience of currently and formerly incarcerated people. We are outraged by the specific violence of the prison industrial complex against LGBTQ people, and respond through advocacy, education, direct service, and organizing.

This is a great resource site for transnational feminist theory and practice. It lists books, articles, movies, and organizations. It is impressive in scope.
This is a website for a group that is against abortion. Their argument is that women get abortions because they don't have other options. While this group does bring to light an interesting and relevant feminist issue--that of women/parents needing access to more and better resources when pregnant or as a new parent--it does so in a way that attempts to remove women's rights to choose.
This is a short article which succinctly demonstrates why the political climate in Arizona continues to place it in the forefront of many national issues. It is interesting to note how Arizona seems to be struggling more and more with understanding people as thinking and feeling human beings rather than objects to be manipulated and maneuvered. There is a bill in Arizona that seeks to tie bathroom use to birth gender, which would be a discriminatory and oppressive practice directed at transgender people.
Four things that men can do to stop violence against women. This article includes videos of Patrick Stewart talking about his experience with domestic violence, and also of ads promoting intervention when one is aware of domestic violence. It is interesting to note what is considered "intervention".

"Drop the I-Word is a public education campaign powered by immigrants and diverse communities across the country that value human dignity and are working to eradicate the dehumanizing slur "illegals" from everyday use and public discourse. The i-word opens the door to racial profiling and violence and prevents truthful, respectful debate on immigration. No human being is "illegal."" From droptheiword.com
