To help create high visibility for the anniversary on campuses nationwide, the FMF is providing Leadership Alliance campuses with 27th Anniversary action packets and stickers to distribute during the week of January 22nd. The Leadership Alliance at Cerritos researched and prepared a comprehensive portfolio. Their professional work was recognized by both the administration and the Student Government, each of whom contributed a large portion of the funding. Members of the Portland State University Leadership Alliance have designed Feminist Magnets with favorite feminist quotes - a unique and creative way to raise money for their chapter. To find out details and tips on these fundraisers, please call a Field Representative.
Groups can choose a chat that all members can attend together as an online meeting.
The case involves a Virginia Polytechnic Institute student who was allegedly raped by two Virginia Tech football players, and centers on the civil rights statute of VAWA, which allows victims of gender-based violence to sue for damages in federal court. The protest was organized by the National Organization for Women and supported by FMF, NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the American Association of University Women. As mentioned in the last issue, the Feminist Majority Foundation has recently launched our Afghan Women's Scholarship Program. The State Department is currently in the process of matching candidates to the schools, and we hope to begin the program in the fall semester of 2000.
