Activism Log 2

February 21-28

• The most notable event of the week was that Monday's show was cancelled due to the location where we broadcast was locked, and that we were unable to obtain a key. I was not there that evening, but I can imagine the frustration experienced by my community partner and my fellow volunteers. I was able to redesign the initial flyer, to make it more friendly for black and white printing, and I have been spreading those around in my classes and to the student clubs I visit.
• The catchphrase we use on the flyer "catch the third wave on the airwaves", identifies where this show places itself in the continuum of feminist thought, which made me think of Seely's chapter "Catch A Wave", concerning the benefits of identifying feminism as separate waves. I think that is something that I will be continually thinking about, "the importance of claiming feminism", since the movement has grown to include more than just women (47).
• This week has setbacks, but they were not that frustrating. The show that was cancelled was only the "welcome back" show, and when I found out that the flyers I spent four dollars on printing did not show the web address for the show correctly, it really was not that big of a deal. I was able to arrive at this conclusion after a few breathing exercises and realizing that the small and big pictures are not identical.
