Here at Feministing we often get asked how a young woman interested in feminism can get involved. There are about nine million ways (get trained as a community organizer, volunteer in the rape crisis center on campus, start a feminist discussion group or blog, donate money, help a friend find funding for birth control etc. etc.), but here's one that just came to my attention for NYC-area folks via the fabulous Women's Glib: join NARAL's Activist Leadership Circle. More deets from Miranda and Shira:

We've written quite a bit about our work with NARAL, which has included calling voters directly during group phonebanks, distributing condoms and information about emergency contraception, rallying support for the Reproductive Health Act, and getting pissed when our efforts were essentially derailed by the childish behavior rampant in the New York state senate. We've also covered their fabulous Choices event series (though I'm sad to say I couldn't make it to any of those three lectures).

Please consider donating your skills and pro-choice passion to this incredible organization.

I imagine those of you not in NYC can find similar opportunities at your local pro-choice orgs. Fall is for feminist activism.
