I love NYC in the summer. There's always a ton of amazing feminist events going on, and it seems to have begun. This weekend kicks off with Rock for Young Women, an event to support the New York Metro Chapter of the Young Women's Task Force.
Then Monday, the amazing Girls for Gender Equity will be partnering with HollaBack NYC for a post-show talk back about subway harassment after a special showing of the play Standing Clear, described as "an ensemble piece that digs deep into the personalities we commute with each day."
Support and enjoy three awesome organizations in one week. If you're in the NYC area, be sure to check em out.

Way to go, NYC! I adore HollaBack - and am so glad to have a blog in the Pacific NW. Any suggestions on the feminist buzz in Seattle? At times, I find it difficult to network with the movement here.
This is one of the many reasons I am SO HAPPY to be moving to NYC later this summer!
The Younger Women's Task Force - NY Metro Chapter is so excited about Rock for Young Women this Saturday
