Support FEM Newsmagazine in 2024!

FEM is UCLA’s intersectional feminist newsmagazine! Since FEM was founded in 1973, we have sought to provide our community with thoughtful feminist writing, artwork, videos, events, and more. We create a wide range of compassionate multimedia content that recenters narratives often rejected or ignored by mainstream media.

Last year, thanks to the generous donations from our 2023 Spark Campaign, we were able to accomplish a lot and continue growing our magazine during the transition back onto campus. We were able fund events such as the Senior Staff retreat, socials, and launch events for our print issues and zines. We have also hosted fundraisers to donate money to issues aligned with our mission. Additionally, FEM had the opportunity to produce merchandise including clothing, prints, and stickers. Finally, we have expanded our reach into the Los Angeles area with volunteer events organized by our community outreach team. 

As a student-run organization, our team needs funding to support our discussions surrounding intersectional feminism and building our collective. FEM brings people of all backgrounds together to further our mission statement and values. Your donations would allow us to continue to support our sections and FEM Members in pursuing important pieces, content, and projects for our organization. Donations are invaluable for our print issue photoshoots in funding equipment, wardrobe, and renting spaces. We hope to also distribute funds in aiding access and transportation to volunteer opportunities and community actions led by Community Outreach. We hope to continue to use funds for creative endeavors in building on our work over the last year.

During this time, your financial support would mean the world to us. With your donations, we will be able to host more successful events; create meaningful articles, designs, videos, and radio shows for both our website and print; and keep supporting our FEM family. Your donation will go directly to supporting emerging journalists and creatives embarking on their careers during a time in which inclusive discourse in journalism and community care are crucial. Because of your contribution to FEM, we will be able to provide vital information to our community as we navigate the current landscape of the world. 

We are so grateful for the support we received in our 2023 Spark Campaign, surpassing our goal of $3000! This year, we are so excited to continue the efforts started in previous years, and bring new ideas and visions to our organization. 

We have always been and always will be entirely 100% student-led––that’s part of what makes FEM so special. As student journalists, we are able to share our unique insights as well as empower young feminists at UCLA. We arm our audience with tools to navigate the world by offering feminist analysis, news, and creative work.

FEM isn’t just a publication. It unites people from all different backgrounds who are committed to unlearning and relearning alongside our global audience. We are a tight-knit community of people who come together to learn and grow from each other and build lifelong friendships along the way. 

Your donation is directly supporting feminist thought, activism, and community at UCLA and beyond!
