In this episode I talk with Executive Director of The Feminist Press Jamia Wilson to talk about these concepts. Wilson discusses why showing up matters, different forms of activism, allyship, and advocacy. We discuss how to be an ally and join a movement, the importance of deep listening, and how to put your privilege to work. You'll walk away with fresh ideas to put to work in your community, with an inspired mindset to motivate you to show up in this world during a critical moment in history.We also talk about: Why showing up mattersHow to get men involved Organizations & ways to supportShow Notes: 7:00—What it means to live through a cultural zeitgeist moment 10:00—Why it's important to stay the course11:00–Why she feels fortunate to be alive during this time15:00—The lesson of this time period25:00—Community solidarity 28:00—How to be an ally and join a movement 33:00—Why silenced voices are the most importantRESOURCESOrganizations Jamia Mentions: Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP) | GLAD—Support LGBTQX & Media Monitoring | Lambda Legal | ACLU | Audre Lorde Project | Third Wave Fund—Doing cutting edge work supporting young WOC queer movementsVisit Jamia Wilson on: Website | Instagram | Twitter | FacebookJamia's Books: Young, Gifted and Black | Step Into Your Power | The ABC's of AOC | Roadmap for Revolutionaries | Together We RiseJamia's Favorite Feminist Book: I love Myself When I Am Laughing, Zora Neale HurstonCheck Out Feminist PressWays to support: Donating, volunteer at local rape crisis center, domestic violence center, on a women's campaign, for any other non-profit that you care about that does feminist work, join a board, join a youth board, if you have a specific expertise you can offer—ask if you can offer that, buy books from independent book stores, buy from Feminist Press for yourself & friends, for a young girl or boy in your life or a person who needs to learn gender inequality, know your rights—be up to date on what the issues are, what power you do have and how to take action, Organize an event in your community.
