Celebrations and Preparations for THE LINE!

THE LINE campaign has a lot to celebrate!

First, we were featured as one of the Top 50 Blogs for Women’s Rights, sharing the honor with folks like Feministing and BUST Magazine! We’re proud to have been included and we’re excited to continue our work. The list was posted at the Feminist Law Professors’ “Our Degrees” blog. They also had great things to say about us:

In association with the sex-positive film “The Line,” this blog facilitates dialogue between people regarding the establishment of individual boundaries and critical thinking about consent versus coercion.

Sounds exactly right!

And as if that wan’t enough, THE LINE is being included in the programming of the SPARK Summit! I’ve been asked to speak at the summit, which is being hosted in the hopes of raising awareness and increasing action taken regarding the sexualization of young girls in the media. (SPARK stands for Sexualization Protest: Action Resistance Knowledge.) Nancy and I will also be tabling there so if you’re in town, you should stop by! My panel, featuring four other girl activists, will be about effective activism, and even if you can’t come you will be able to stream it online.

The SPARK Summit is on Friday, October 22 at Hunter College in NYC. You can learn more and register here. (And if you come, you also get Geena Davis, Shelby Knox, Jaclyn Friedman, and MORE!)

I want to extend a special thanks to all of you – our readers and supporters – for making the work we do real, tangible, and personal. We’re doing a great job, everyone. This is only the beginning!
