Indy TV # 34: Rated F

Members of Rated F, a year old local Feminist organization, join us this week on <a href="http://blip.tv/file/3397519">Indy TV</a> to talk about their work in Rochester and how you can get involved in organizing around feminist and queer issues.<img src="http://rochester.indymedia.org/usermedia/image/1/rated_f.jpg" alt="RF" /> <p /> According to co-founder of the organization, Sady Fisher, "Rated F is a grassroots Feminist organization that primarily focuses on education around sexuality, identity and expression; and on challenging societal expectations about many of these issues."<p /> The <a href="http://ratedf.wordpress.com/">Rated F website</a> explains the Herstory of the group: "There aren’t many opportunities for women to have honest, open conversations around feminist and queer issues. So we thought we’d begin to create those opportunities for ourselves and other women, by developing workshops and events that dissect sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism, ageism, etc. in all of their forms from a sex-positive, feminist, affirming perspective. <p />We want to instill a sense of sisterhood and togetherness between women in this community, and organize around issues that matter to us. We focus on education and activism around feminist, gender and queer issues but are interested in being involved in any activities that empower and support women."
