48th PARALLEL PROJECT

FOR WOMEN (AND MEN!) WHO DARE TO CALL THEMSELVES FEMINISTS

Rosemary House

THIS IS FOR YOU: National Youth Poetry Slam

Three young men perform "This Is For You," a powerful narrative about feminism from the eyes of men who grew up in Chico, California. They speak to the "mothers, sisters, daughters, women" and voice the struggles of single mothers, of women affected by sexual harassment and misogyny. Performed at Sacred Grounds Cafe in Arcata CA by Isaac Miller and Ulises Dorantes, this video is an inspiring example of young men willing to take up women's rights with passion and for justice for all.

This is a fantastic film. Thanks for sharing ;-) I should point out though that not all of the Actionettes are feminists. X

The 48th Parallel Project is A ROCK ISLAND PRODUCTION.

HOUSEKEEPING

Our name was inspired by a survey of elected women in governments worldwide showing Canada in the disappointing position of #48. And over the past two years we've dropped to 50 and risen to 47....
We're a politically motivated, artistically driven platform for feminists interested in challenging the status quo.
We invite filmmakers, artists and activists to express themselves and contribute their art and ideas.
We're committed to showcasing female artists and to connecting with women around the world.
We believe we have a responsibility to support womens' struggle for human rights and equality globally.
We also believe in using art and entertainment to mix it up in the political world.
Our logo is by young Newfoundland artist Isabelle Riche. Welcome!
Please drop me a line here, anytime!
Cheers, Rosemary
