For a while now, all of us at Feministing have been talking about how to better link our work with all of the amazing feminist activism happening on the ground. There are so many incredible organizations--and incredible women!--doing national and grassroots work that it's difficult to write about all of it. Also, when it's other folks who are really the experts, it feels almost disingenuous to write about their work on their behalf. So we figured what better way to highlight activism in different communities than to let women speak for themselves.
This is where our new "Voices of..." campaign comes in. Every month (we're hoping), Feministing will feature a week-long series of posts gathered by a sponsoring organization or activist.
Today, we're kicking off our Voices of API Women week with help from Priscilla Huang at the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum. All of us here are really excited about this project; we hope that it will not only shine a spotlight on different kinds of activism and help others promote their work, but that it will also make Feministing a better tool and forum for feminist thought and action.

Cool! Sounds like fun.
Great idea! I am excited to learn about women's orgs across the country. Perhaps you can also post the job/volunteer info for each organization so that recent graduate feminist like myself can find opportunities to do feminist work.
