Mass NOW – Feminism in Action Grant Contest

Dear WGS Minors,

I am writing you on behalf of Mass NOW, the largest multi-issue feminist organization in Massachusetts, to tell you about our Feminism in Action Grant Contest.  I wanted to reach out to you, because as a college student I want to make sure that as many young feminists as possible in Massachusetts can hear about this and have the chance to apply.The 2015 Feminism in Action Contest seeks to inspire young feminists to use $3,000 in grant funds to improve the lives of women and girls by creating an education-based project in Massachusetts.

At Mass NOW, we work every day on our six priority issue areas: (1) constitutional and civil rights; (2) reproductive and health rights; (3) racial justice; (4) LGBTQ rights; (5) violence against women; and (6) economic equality.

Feminism in Action projects must relate to one or more of Mass NOW?s priority issue areas.  Some examples include: creating a public education media campaign on transgender equal rights, starting a sexual health resource center at your school or in your community, or organizing a conference on domestic violence.
