Feminists for Action is encouraging students to talk about empowerment and social equality in today’s culture in the group's bi-weekly event.
The first of many Feminist Fridays will kick off Oct. 16 from 12 to 2 p.m. in the Atrium.
“It’s important for students to know that they don’t have to be feminist or a woman to join the conversation on feminism and societal issues,” said Emmalie Hodge, Feminists for Action president.
The group will have tables set up where student can stop by and talk to members about a certain issue within feminism and participate in interactive games featured at each event.
For the first Feminist Friday on Oct. 16, they'll be working alongside Ball State Democrats to discuss taking a stand for Planned Parenthood.
The group's goal for events like Feminist Friday is to further educate students about issues of concern in the global, national and community level by encouraging thought-provoking discussions, as stated on the group’s Benny Link.
“Feminists for Action is an intersectional feminist group on campus,” Hodge said. “We try to include all groups that are affected by the issues of today’s society.”
Feminist Fridays will take place twice a month. The next one will be held Oct. 30 and will focus on what is culturally appropriate with Halloween costumes. They'll be promoting and encouraging safety among students.
Feminists for Action encourages “absolutely anyone” to join the club, Hodge said. The club meetings take place every Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Burkhardt Building room 104.
“Everybody can benefit from being a part of the discussions,” Hodge said. “We don’t just care about women’s issues and rights. We care about everyone.”
