Feminist Generation STatement on the Passing of Gloria Steinem
We honor the life of Gloria Steinem, a feminist journalist, activist, infrastructure builder, and champion of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Feminists Mourn & Demand Justice for Kohen Wiley
Feminist Generation is outraged and heartbroken by the killing of Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old Black child killed by police outside a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi. We mourn Kohen and stand with his mother, grandmother, and all his loved ones in demanding transparency, accountability, and justice, NOW. We send love and support to Kohen’s loved ones and organizers on the ground refusing to let the headlines move on.
We Remember & We Demand: Feminist Generation Mourns Dr. Cerina Wanzer Fairfax and Calls for an End to Gendered Partner Violence
Dr. Cerina Wanzer Fairfax was a deeply loved person, a mother of three, and a dentist with her own clinic in Fairfax, Virginia. Dr. Fairfax was an active and energetic runner, reader, traveler, and an award-winning business owner.
Feminist Generation is heartbroken by her killing and calls for the immediate end of gendered partner violence and violent acts of misogynoir.
Feminist Generation Condemns Anti-Muslim Shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego
Feminist Generation condemns the anti-Muslim shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We stand in solidarity with the Muslim community in San Diego and with all those impacted by this act of anti-Muslim racism, hate, and violence.
As feminists, we reject all forms of oppression, including Islamophobia, white supremacy, and gendered racial violence. Our movements for justice are inseparable from the fight against Islamophobia and the protection of marginalized communities facing targeted attacks because of who they are or what they believe. We call on community leaders, elected officials, and institutions to take immediate action to confront anti-Muslim hate, ensure accountability, and invest in the safety and well-being of Muslim communities in San Diego and across the country.
Feminists Reject Supreme Court’s Attack on Black Political Power & Demand Immediate Action
The Supreme Court has launched a direct attack on Black political power. As feminists we are outraged, and we must fight back.
The Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais dismantles the critical, hard-won protections of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act that outlawed racially discriminatory gerrymandering. This decision enables states to draw voting maps that will disenfranchise millions of voters of color. At least five states–Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee–have already convened legislative sessions to gerrymander their maps.
Feminist Generation Stands with Survivors of the Farmworker Movement
As a survivor-led organization, Feminist Generation honors the immeasurable courage Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguia, and Debra Rojas have shown in publicly disclosing the years of sexual and emotional abuse they endured at the hands of United Farm Workers co-founder, Cesar Chavez. This truth-telling comes at an immense cost to the survivors, who for decades have carried this trauma alone. No longer. We see you. We love you. We believe you.
Feminist Generation Stands with the Striking Nurses of New York
Feminist Generation stands in unwavering solidarity with the 15,000 nurses–most of them women–of the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) on strike for their lives, their patients’ lives, and justice in healthcare. We demand massive public investment in healthcare and into our communities, not detention, deportation, and state violence.
Nurses deserve more. Patients deserve more. Our communities deserve more.
In the Name of Renee Good and Keith Porter, Feminists Say ABOLISH ICE.
Renee Nicole Good and Keith Porter were both loving parents and members of their communities who were murdered. We join their families in mourning their tragic and unjust loss. Renee Nicole Good was a mother, a writer, and a poet who was described as “loving, forgiving, and affectionate.” Keith Porter was a father who was described as “kind” and a “joy.” They should be alive today. Their lives mattered. There must be accountability for their murders and ICE must be abolished.
Feminist Generation Demands Justice for Saniyah Cheatham
We are disgusted and horrified by the lack of transparency following the heartbreaking and suspicious death of 18 year old Saniyah Cheatham, a young Black woman from the Bronx who died in NYPD custody in July 2025. Feminist Generation mourns her loss and uplifts her family’s demands for additional details about Saniyah’s death including video footage of her arrest and detention and her autopsy report. Saniyah’s family deserve clarity, closure, and justice for these tragic events, from her unnecessary arrest to contradictory statements about her death.
Feminist Generation Demands Justice for Adriana Smith & All Abortion-Seekers
HER LIFE MATTERED. We are outraged and heartbroken by the pain endured by Adriana Smith and her family at the hands of the “LIFE Act,” Georgia’s law criminalizing abortion after 6-weeks. Adriana Smith was a loving mother, cherished daughter, and caring nurse. At nine weeks pregnant, Adriana was tragically declared brain dead. But the state kept her alive as a human incubator, against her wishes and those of her family, to prematurely birth her son at the point of fetal viability. The “LIFE Act” denied Adriana Smith her dignity and peace as she was forced to remain pregnant, on life support, for 16-weeks. Feminist Generation demands justice for Adriana Smith. We demand an end to anti-Black, racist, misogynist laws that strip Black women of their humanity in the name of “life.” We demand a future where Black women and queer people are trusted, free, and safe.
Feminist Generation is Born, A New Feminist Organization for Our Generation
We have arrived. Amid the horrific attacks on reproductive, queer & trans, racial, and all forms of gender justice, we are saying F*** this, and are coming together as one powerful, youth-led feminist organization to finally and fully shut down the MAGA agenda. That’s right. After a democratic vote of our membership, today we announce that The Feminist Front and Young Feminist Party have merged into one united organization under the new name Feminist Generation. We’re bringing together our years of deep grassroots organizing experience from the ground-up to build a real feminism of our generation. A feminism that fights. A feminism that defends, centers, and heals our communities. A feminism that wins.
Feminist Generation Condemns Trump’s Travel Ban and ICE Raids Devastating Our Communities
Feminist Generation strongly condemns the Trump administration’s reinstatement and expansion of the racist, xenophobic, and authoritarian travel ban targeting 12 Muslim-majority, Middle Eastern, Asian, and African countries, along with the imposition of extreme visa restrictions on 7 additional nations of the Global South. These discriminatory immigration policies are being enforced alongside militarized raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that are devastating immigrant communities across the United States, and especially in Los Angeles right now.
Attacks on Young Organizers Must End, Statement on the Targeting of Students for a Free Palestine
We stand against and unequivocally condemn the targeting of student activists fighting for a free Palestine. We strongly condemn the arrests of Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, Alireza Doudi, Momodou Taal and all student organizers whose immigration status and courage to stand up against injustice has been exploited by the Trump administration’s agenda to thwart and suppress a popular movement’s struggle for justice. These abhorrent assaults on people’s fundamental rights directly assault not only individual rights, but the core democratic values that should protect all voices, particularly those of young people and marginalized communities. Students, as our future leaders and change-makers, must never be silenced or targeted for exercising their right to express their views and stand against US-backed genocide.
This International Women’s Day, We Demand: Stop the Attacks on Trans and Undocumented Women – #FeministsFightBack
On International Women’s Day 2025, Feminist Generation, a movement partnership of Young Feminist Party and The Feminist Front, is taking action against the right-wing attacks threatening our communities and demands Donald Trump rescind his orders attacking trans folks and undocumented people. Under the banner #FeministsFightBack, this International Women’s Day, we are calling on all feminists to mobilize in defense of trans people, especially trans women, undocumented people, and undocumented women, who are facing escalating violence, discrimination, and attacks.
Trans folks are under attack by the Trump Administration. We must fight back
Donald Trump has started his second term as President by attacking our most vulnerable communities via executive orders and actions. His administration is trying to both demonize and disappear transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people by rolling back hard-won rights, creating administrative chaos, and criminalizing bodily autonomy, gender-affirming care, and inclusive education. These attacks have created de facto travel bans for certain gender expansive people with gender-corrected passports, caused healthcare providers to stop offering gender-affirming care services, limited classroom content and interactions that respect people’s pronouns and identities, and emboldened cultural and institutional transphobia and discrimination. These executive orders and actions are unacceptable.
The Status of the Equal Rights Amendment
Before leaving office, President Biden declared that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) had met all necessary requirements to become the law of the land. After years of organizing from The Feminist Front, Young Feminist Party, and numerous other organizations, we won this recognition of the ERA as the 28th Amendment from the President of the United States for the first time in the 101-year history of ERA organizing.
