“If you take anything away from this talk, it’s that... you cannot hustle your way out of late stage capitalism.” @jaclynf giving us all the wisdom 🙌 #FeministAF #WAMNYC

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

“What I want us to be better at that I learned the hard way in @womenactmedia is not using the work for self-harm, not using the movement for a hair shirt.” @jaclynf speaking the truth #FeministAF #wamnyc

[Melanie Breault Kursun @melaniebkursun]

“When we have actual relationships with each other, lots of amazing shit can happen.” @jaclynf talking about the power of @womenactmedia @WAMnycEVENTS and making space for each other #FeministAF #WAMNYC

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

This is what @womenactmedia taught @jaclynf about leadership:
1. Listen including who isn’t in the room
2. Process what you heard
3. Trust your instincts to make a decision
4. Act
5. Then evaluate how that went

Inclusive language is also about accuracy. Say what’s most correct and mostly accurately conveys what you mean. #FeministAF

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

Practicing inclusive language means ensuring language is understandable for all, but also doesn’t avoid pushing toward full inclusion.

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

Consider how to lift up people in a way that gives them agency vs. disempowering them. #feministAF

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

“As ridiculous as it is that I have to protect myself, it is empowering to know there are things I can do to protect myself” @GrimKim #FeministAF #wamnyc

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

Even older white men managing editors are being harassed online which is finally getting them to pay attention... “There is some sense of an awakening.” @PENamerica #FeministAF #wamnyc

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

90% of female journalists in the US said online harassment is the #1 threat to them. Less than half has received any kind of training on it says @lvzwestcott @pressfreedom #FeministAF #wamnyc

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

��When I ask a newsroom to raise their hands if they’ve experienced online harassment, almost all hands are raised. And that is usually the first time people have talked to each other about it,” says Viktorya Vilk @PENamerica #FeministAF #wamnyc

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

.@lvzwestcott @pressfreedom suggests doing a risk assessment before you begin a story. Sharing resources on how to make journalism more safe and secure #FeministAF #wamnyc

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

Heavy and important discussion about safety and security as journalists and media makers within/across different identities w/ @soniathehuq @JasmineBager @GrimKim @PENamerica @lvzwestcott @pressfreedom #FeministAF #wamnyc

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

Cuba and Saudi Arabia are two particular places that are not accessible to people - the two identities of @JasmineBager. “My identity is in my face so I can’t hide from it.” #FeministAF #wamnyc

[WAMNYC Events @WAMnycEVENTS]

As warm winds down, it lives on through you. Think about what it looks like for you and so your mission is to use the rest of the time to talk to each other about just that! Thank you @reneefeltz for the helpful reminder! #FeministAF #WAMNYC
