Give Me a Platform

Purpose: The goal of this campaign is to show that while we are all different and fighting for various goals, there is a common thread of feminism and sisterhood that brings us together. And if you give us a platform, you can bet we have something to say. 

Set up: Place a small platform and some fake microphones in a populated space on campus or in town. Invite women to stand on the platform and describe themselves and what they are fighting for within the feminist, political movement. Take their picture and record their words and turn it into a photo album on Facebook. You can also send the photos to platform.presscontact@gmail.com to see the pictures featured on our website!
