WHAT YOU CAN DO:

  1. Educate yourself. Read or listen to books and podcasts about feminism, and educate yourself about what feminism really is. A few recommendations include (secular and for church members): 
  2. Educate and encourage another person in your life. Women, men in your life (your father, husbands, and sons), to become feminists. As Tiffany addressed in last week’s episode, significant change for women will not happen until more men are willing to see and acknowledge the needed changes and become powerful advocates for change. 
  3. Take active steps toward fighting for feminist causes in your community whether that be speaking out for women in your church community, in the classroom or workplace, or on a political level.
