Feministing's holiday cards for 2014

Become a member of Feministing!

Thanks to the support of our community, we launched the redesigned Feministing.com last month, and we’re so excited by all your positive feedback and words of encouragement. This site will take us into the next 10 years of Feministing and beyond, and we couldn’t have done it without you. 

To make the new Feministing a success, we need your ongoing support. So we’re now offering the chance to become a member of Feministing by giving a small monthly donation. And donations are now tax deductible. Feministing is honored to be fiscally sponsored by the Center for Sex & Culture, which strives to promote creativity, information, and healthy sexual knowledge.

Building a base of committed members will help us pay our hard-working team, both writing for the site and working behind the scenes to keep it running, who have all been volunteering incredible amounts of time and energy for far too long. Keeping Feministing independent means turning to you — our devoted readers, commenters, and Community bloggers — to support the content and space you depend on. While we’re hustling to get funding from various sources, we’d love to get most of our funding from our community. After all, it’s the knowledge that Feministing is important to you that’s driven us to keep at it over these past 10 years.

As a thank you, we’ll send members a Feministing bumper sticker (redesigned to match the new website) to show off your membership in our community. You’ll also receive exclusive content, like a webinar training on writing for social justice by our kick-ass writers and editors (because uplifting your voices is always central to our mission), and deals and exclusive invites to feminist events.

As an added perk this December, you can give the gift of Feministing membership to a friend. Angélica Becerra has designed these beautiful feminist holiday e-cards for us, which we’ll email to your friend when you set up a membership in their name:

You can also give one-time donations here, which are also greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for all your continued support! Feministing couldn’t keep doing this work without you, and we’re incredibly grateful.
