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.

As feminists on the frontline, we must do everything in our power to block rising authoritarianism through community building and coordinated, sustained action. We take this as our responsibility and refuse to leave women, trans, and queer people behind, especially the BIPOC, immigrant, disabled, and poor among us. Our feminist future depends on us young people. So, let’s change the trajectory of the United States by building together as a united generation to demand intersectional gender justice now. 

Together, we can build our generation’s feminist movement. We can build a movement that has the capacity, vision, and resources to organize thousands, and even millions, of young feminists across the country to meet this moment and defend our communities. We can build a robust local chapter network, galvanize national actions, revolutionize the political landscape, and achieve historic feminist wins. We can build a movement rooted in caring for and empowering young women, queer, and trans people that shifts our culture and material conditions. 

The success of our #ERANow campaign is proof of the power young feminists have when we build together. In the final months of Biden’s presidency, The Feminist Front and Young Feminist Party led a historic mobilization to demand the inclusion of women and LGBTQ+ people in the U.S. Constitution. We organized hundreds of thousands of people to contact Congress and the President. We coordinated dozens of die-ins, walk-outs, and shut-downs across the country.  We hosted teach-ins and trainings that educated thousands about the ERA and how to fight for it. We got arrested shutting down Constitution Avenue and picketed outside the White House in a historic snowstorm for ten days. We reached millions through viral social media campaigns and coverage in several national outlets. By the end, President Biden declared the Equal Rights Amendment the law of the land. This victory would not have been possible without the visionary coalition-building by and among young feminists. 

We now face an administration built on and perpetrating supremacy. The MAGA far-right is rapidly attacking our communities. ICE raids are terrorizing immigrants and their loved ones. Trans people and people seeking abortions, especially young people, are being criminalized and stripped of life-saving healthcare. DEI programs and anti-racist education are being dismantled in our schools and at work. Working class people are pushed deeper into poverty while the rich become richer. Student debt is climbing nationally, with women, especially women of color, disproportionately in debt. Trump and his MAGA agenda are utilizing hate, fear and control to take our rights and dismantle public goods. We write this declaration of unification on the anniversary of the Dobbs decision. We know the struggle for intersectional feminist justice and liberation is a matter of life and death. While the conditions are tough, our resolve and vision are tougher. As young feminists, we have arrived, and we are here to say WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. Our communities deserve care, dignity, and safety, and the resources to live and thrive. Our generation is fed up. But we will not despair, we will organize.

Feminist Generation is committed to resisting the assaults on our lives, our bodies, and our democracy, through sustained grassroots action and solidarity. We are building a powerful, youth-led movement for gender justice, queer justice and racial justice, one that centers the most impacted and rises to the fight. 

They are scared of us together, of our power when we unite and fight for someone we don’t know. As women and queer people, we know we are the leaders we have been waiting for, that every person on every block has the power to change the world. It is through collective action that we get to liberation. 

Feminists to the front, it’s time for feminism of our generation. 

Welcome to the movement. 

Welcome to Feminist Generation.

Feminist Generation Condemns Trump’s Travel Ban and ICE Raids Devastating Our Communities

06/20/2025

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. These reprehensible federal actions are tearing families apart, violating due process, and inflicting fear, trauma, and state violence on immigrant communities, especially Black and brown folks who have long faced systemic marginalization.

As a youth-led feminist organization, we know that feminism must be intersectional and committed to the liberation of all people. The targeting of immigrants is inherently a feminist issue. Migrant women, girls, and LGBTQ+ individuals are particularly vulnerable under these policies, facing gender-based violence, abuse in detention, family separation, and criminalization. Many are fleeing persecution, intimate partner violence, or anti-LGBTQ+ laws in their home countries, only to encounter further harm under the U.S. immigration system.

These violent systems of border enforcement, detention, and exclusion uphold the very structures that our feminism seeks to dismantle. We oppose these systems and demand the right to move freely, to seek safety, to create family, and to live free from state violence. Racist immigration bans, mass deportations, and militarized policing deny these rights and are in direct opposition to the values of justice, equity, and human dignity. 

Feminist Generation calls for an immediate end to all ICE raids and deportations, the abolition of ICE, the demilitarization of the U.S. border, and the full repeal of the travel ban and all policies that discriminate based on nationality, religion, or race. We demand permanent protections and accessible pathways to citizenship for undocumented people, and policies that safeguard the health, safety, and autonomy of migrants of all genders and identities. We reject the Trump administration’s scapegoating of immigrants as a cover for the failures of neoliberal capitalism and the expansion of militarization and policing that threatens our rights and communities in the United States.

We affirm our unwavering solidarity with immigrant communities and remain committed to resisting authoritarian violence, racist narratives, and policies that attempt to divide us. Our communities do not need bans, raids, or surveillance; they need resources, care, and collective protection.

We call on all feminists, gender justice organizers, and people of conscience to rise up in defense of immigrant rights and to organize toward a future where all people, regardless of immigration status, can live with dignity, safety, and freedom. We keep us safe. We will and we must organize to resist authoritarian violence and narratives attempting to weaken our movements and divide our communities.

Attacks on Young Organizers Must End, Statement on the Targeting of Students for a Free Palestine

04/09/2025

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.

Young people, especially students, have historically stood at the forefront of social movements, driving change long before larger society accepts movements for justice. They are often the catalysts for progress, challenging systems of injustice and pushing for a better future. It remains crucial that we support and protect their right to speak out, as their voices are essential in shaping the world we live in. In this moment young people, especially young students of color, must be protected.

This is a call to action for all feminists and organizers who believe in justice and equality. We must rise up, join the student divest movement, and demand accountability from those who seek to suppress free expression and justice movements. It is essential that we protect the rights of students, especially those from marginalized communities. This is not just about one person or several students, this is about defending the principles of democracy, freedom, and human dignity for everyone and challenging ongoing U.S. mass violence.

Moreover, we stand against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The systemic violence and oppression being carried out against the Palestinian people must end. We cannot remain silent in the face of these atrocities. We call for an end to the violence, now. Let us stand together in solidarity, ensuring that no one—especially students—is silenced in the pursuit of justice, freedom, and dignity, and a world without 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.

This International Women’s Day 2025, we call on feminists everywhere to take action and resist this Administration. Organize in your communities, disrupt systems of harm, and show up for trans and undocumented communities.

This International Women’s Day, March 8, 2025:

◦ We demand an end to anti-trans attacks, immigrant detention, deportations, and all forms of gendered violence.
◦ We demand institutions DO NOT COMPLY with these orders attacking trans and undocumented communities.
◦ We demand everyday working people challenge the administration as it strips our rights and rapidly erodes pillars of democracy.

The MAGA agenda, driven by white supremacy, cisheteropatriarchy, and xenophobia, has targeted our most marginalized communities with dangerous legislation and rhetoric that strips away rights, dignity, and safety. Trans women are being criminalized, denied safety and healthcare, and attacked in public spaces. Undocumented women face family separation, detention, and deportation, while facing both the violence of gender injustice and the immigration system. These are not isolated attacks—they are part of a coordinated effort to erase, control, and dehumanize our people.

We refuse to stand by while our communities are under attack. We say to this government and to larger society. Stop targeting trans and undocumented women NOW.Feminism that does not fight for trans and undocumented women is not feminism at all. The fight for gender justice is inseparable from the fight for racial, economic, and migrant justice. We will not allow the far-right to define who deserves safety, dignity, and belonging. We reject the fear-mongering, the policy violence, and the deliberate attempts to pit marginalized communities against each other. Instead, we stand united in radical solidarity, building collective power to resist and dismantle these oppressive systems.

Feminism is not just about representation or inclusion—it is about fighting for the liberation of all people, especially those most at risk. Together, we fight back. Together, we win.

Trans folks are under attack by the Trump Administration. We must fight back

02/28/2025

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. They infringe on our basic rights and make vulnerable communities even more unsafe as transphobia and gender discrimination continue to gain traction. We must continue to disrupt these narratives and demand that institutions do not comply with transphobic orders and directives.

We condemn these attacks on our trans siblings and the scapegoating of queer communities. We know that intersectional feminism demands valuing, respecting, uplifting, and working with transgender and nonbinary organizations and leaders. We will continue to empower gender expansive leaders and members in our organization and take action together to resist these transphobic attacks.

The attacks on trans, non-binary, and gender expansive communities by politicians emboldens greater violence against transgender and non-binary people. As we witnessed Trump’s first term led to a dramatic increase in hate crimes and identity-based attacks, now this rhetoric is connected to current attacks on queer and transgender people. In the month since Trump’s inauguration multiple transgender people of color have been murdered. We honor the lives of Sam Nordquist and Tahiry Broom, two Black transgender people who deserved to live safely but faced violence, torture, and targeted murders based on their identity as trans people.

This is happening while simultaneously trans people, especially young people, are being targeted by mass state violence. Intersectional feminism demands bodily autonomy for all people and that includes gender affirming care. As grassroots feminist youth organizers, we are very aware that these attacks are focused most heavily on trans and non-binary students and young people as classrooms, college health centers, and university hospitals have become central locations in the fight for gender expansive rights. Our generation must not back down. We must resist these attacks, combat these anti-trans narratives, and defend gender-affirming care, as it is a life-changing and life-saving resource for queer people of all ages.

Transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive people have always and will always exist, and have always and will always be leaders in the fight for gender justice. We call on all feminists to fight back against the Trump administration’s dangerous, transphobic executive orders and actions.

We demand the Trump administration immediately reverse the attacks on trans people. We the peoples of the United States condemn these actions, we will resist, and will not comply. We demand not only the reversal of these attacks but gender justice NOW.

The Status of the Equal Rights Amendment

02/17/2025

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.

This happened because thousands of everyday people rose up to demand #ERANow. Thousands took actions with us from banner drops, die-ins, civil disobedience, calls, letters, lobby visits and more. This HUGE win for our movement has progressed the fight for equality and justice under the law but the fight is NOT over yet.

To gain the ERA’s protections against sex and gender discrimination and protect women and LGBTQ communities we must now win the fight to implement and enforce the 28th Amendment to advance gender, racial, and queer justice for all. Just three weeks into the Trump presidency, the urgent need for the protections the ERA can provide is clear. ERA advocates are strategizing around federal implementation of the Equal Rights Amendment. As founding partners of the #ERANow campaign that helped push President Biden to declare the Equal Rights Amendment as the law of the land, the Feminist Generation movement is helping to lead strategy around the next steps in the fight for equal rights for all.

Actions we are pursuing to support the Equal Rights Amendment include:

• Pushing State Legislatures to affirm that the Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land

• Organizing for the twelve remaining states to ratify the federal Equal Rights Amendment, sending a powerful message that all of America demands and deserves equality under the law.

• Pressuring State Attorney Generals to affirm the Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land as chief legal officers in their states.

• Passing expansive State Equal Rights Amendments in nearly half of all U.S. states which still do not guarantee protections against sex and gender discrimination in their state constitutions.

• Demanding the U.S. Congress remove the arbitrary deadline on ratification and affirm the Equal Rights Amendment to bolster our position against future legal challenges.

• Urging the National Archivist to perform the ministerial duty of ERA certification and publication, as directed by the White House, to bolster our position against future legal challenges.

The success of the #ERANow movement shows the power of when the people come together. Our generation refuses to back down, it’s time to build feminists futures for all.
