Feminist Current is, in many ways, a labour of love. Writing, podcasting, interviewing incredible feminists, activists, writers, politicians, academics, filmmakers, and just regular women, fighting for their voices to be heard in a world that hates to listen, from all around the world is incredibly fulfilling. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity over the past decade to learn so much, from so many.

Feminist Current launched in 2012, and was instantly controversial. We asked questions we weren’t supposed to ask, said things we weren’t supposed to say, and spoke when we were told to shut up.

Feminist Current has been a pivotal part of the global women’s movement and the fight for the sex-based rights of women and girls. We know that your options are endless, and are honoured that you would choose to spend your time with us. We can’t thank you enough for being here, for supporting Feminist Current, and for participating in this ongoing conversation, whether it be through listening, reading, or by contributing to the discussion in the comments.

We love this work, but it is work. A lot of work! And that’s not just in the fight against cancellation and constant attacks on the site and its contributors. If it weren’t for this space, there would be few other venues for the kind of interviews and commentary we have published over the years. I created Feminist Current so that there could be space for these conversations to take place — conversations that challenge dominant discourse and mainstream feminism. As a result, Feminist Current become one of the only sites in the world to take on harmful gender identity legislation and ideology that damages decades of women’s work.

We want to be able to continue to do this work. We want to continue to be able to provide space for writers who have few (or no) other venues to publish their work and ideas. We want to give voice to the unheard women — the cancelled women, the censored women, the women who have been told to sit down and shut up. Thanks to many people who have supported us along the way (and continue to support us), we have been able to keep our costs low, but in order to continue to maintain this site and to produce strong content on a regular basis, we need your help!

If the work we produce here at Feminist Current is work that you value and support, please consider a one-time or monthly donation.

Your support means the world. Thank you.
