Feminism without Borders--The goal of Feminism without Borders (FWB) is to focus on the inclusion of under-represented women in feminism. FWB will focus on these women through our particular historical, cultural, and social experiences. There is a need to educate our communities about our unique historical and on-going contributions to fighting against racist, classist, and sexist oppression. FWB seeks to unravel the snarls of oppression through collaboration with other on-campus and off-campus organizations to help celebrate our diverse heritage.
In addition to our bi-weekly meetings we host events including lectures, films, and demonstrations. We address issues such as environmental racism, welfare racism, corporate globalization, the prison-industrial complex, the exploitation of immigrant labor, AIDS and other STIs. FWB welcomes people from all backgrounds into an environment that fosters continuous awareness of the lives led by under-represented women from the past and present, in order to inspire unity and action towards social change. "Unifying to Educate and be Educated".
