Activism Log 9

April 18 – 24

  • Activism

Another canceled show. Ho-hum. Luckily, things did happen this week. Deborah has left us the reins to the Feminist Agenda Radio. Dom, Josh, and myself have decided to keep the show running in the fall semester, and we have made plans for the summer. The idea is to stay in contact and to meet regularly in order to plan out each show and week to avoid the snags we hit this semester. We plan to have more faculty and guest speakers on the show, because we enjoyed the interview with Dr. Vest. I would also like to see the Feminist Agenda revitalized. One of the issues with activism on college campuses is the fact people graduate. I would like to find the fresh blood coming in, and I want to unite the progressive groups together. Through cohesion, change will happen.

  • Reflection

We now know what works and what does not (at least we think we do). In the fall, we will try to avoid these mistakes and try to bring back the Feminist Agenda in some form. The fact that what we are up against is a system, “something larger we all participate in...which is more than a collection of individuals” motivates me to have a united front against it. (Johnson 69).

  • Reciprocity

I do not want any of the organizations “on our side” to fall into disrepair. I want to make connections with people, so that they all know we are all in this together.
