Every four years, the fall issue of Ms. is—to be perfectly honest—pretty much the same. We do our best to explain what’s at stake in the upcoming election and how the outcome will affect our lives and future. This year that wasn’t necessary. Project 2025 did the job for us.

Abbott Elementary actor Lisa Ann Walter first marched in support of the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion rights when she was a kid growing up in suburban Washington. More than half a century later, she’s still fighting for the exact same things. “I consider it my duty as an American and as a woman to try to do anything I can to continue to move forward,” she told The Fuller Project’s Jodi Enda in an interview at the Democratic National Convention. “We’ve already gone through a lot of this shit once. We’re going to have to scrape and claw our way back.” Read our story, published in partnership with Ms. Magazine. https://lnkd.in/eVNpewfu

Thank you to Ms. Magazine for this terrific series of articles by leaders in the US and global movement for gender equality and justice about the importance and impact of feminist philanthropy, especially as we witness democratic backsliding and rising authoritarianism around the world. Here are a few personal favorites: 📣 Jess Tomlin's exposé on the dangers of the well-funded anti-gender movement and the need for financial, social, and political capital to proactively counter forces rolling back women's and LGBTIQ rights. 📣 Annie Hillar's and Tsitsi Marylin Midzi née Dzinavane's vision for increased funding to local feminist groups across the globe and more progressive funder practices. 📣 Tyeshia 'Ty' Wilson, MPL's and Vanessa T.'s call to support Black women and Black feminist movements - they are fighting for and saving all of us. 📣 Julia Reticker-Flynn emphasizing the connection between attacks on bodily autonomy and attacks on democracy, and the need for cross-movement collaboration and funding. I highly recommend reading all of the pieces - link below:

We are excited to share our contribution to Ms. Magazine's important and timely series 'Feminist philanthropy is essential to democracy'. "By the end of 2024, more than half the world’s population will have gone to the polls. It is an unprecedented moment: the number of countries holding elections—compounded by the literal and metaphorical fires taking place everywhere, from severe climate disasters to rising living costs and harrowing global conflicts—will either edge us closer to authoritarianism and patriarchal hegemony or steer us away from it. How is philanthropy meeting this moment?" Black feminist movements are the very antidote to the anti-rights agendas sweeping across the globe, it is imperative philanthropy funds them to win. Read our article, and check out the wider series with fantastic contributions from leaders modelling a better philanthropy. https://lnkd.in/drYvBdtv

It is not an accident that the states which have passed the most severe restrictions on abortion are among the same states with the most repressive voting measures.

Vice President Kamala Harris is running less as a female candidate than as a nominee who just happens to be a woman —and a woman of color, at that. The obstacle of “running while female” might be ameliorated by some big things that have happened since Hillary Clinton sought the White House, such as the presidency of Donald Trump. The Democrats have also found their voice on abortion in a way that they hadn’t before.

Trailblazing leader in child care and economic development; co-founder and CEO of All Our Kin; lecturer at Yale; public speaker
In her speech at the #DNC, Kamala Harris referenced "2nd mom" Mrs. Shelton, who provided child care in her building. My Ms. Magazine op-ed explains why everyone running for office needs to state how they will support #ChildCare. EVERY family should have access to a Mrs. Shelton.
Keying off of themes referenced during the #DNC, Jessica Sager's recent op-ed for Ms. Magazine highlights the critical need for federal investment in #childcare. Democratic nominee Kamala Harris underscores the importance of "second mom" Mrs. Shelton, the child care provider who lived in her building. Because every child should have a Mrs. Shelton, Sager calls on every politician running for any office to state how they will help our nation’s educators, families and youngest learners.

It’s not just women’s ‘childlessness’ that alarms Vance and his ilk. It’s the fact that many are delaying marriage — or forgoing it altogether.
