🌈to celebrate your talent 

Funding opportunity from The Own Our Power Fund for orgs around the world building stronger reproductive + gender justice movements.

Call for abstract submissions to Global Research Network Think Tank's "Gender, Conflict and Displacement" journal. 

An open call for applications from young artists with a feminist, ecological and/or postcolonial art practice. The Room to Bloom org (fun fact: we almost changed the name of The Bloom to "Room to Bloom" before we knew it already existed😂). They will select a group of 100 emerging feminist artists from around the world to participate in a free mix of trainings + workshops throughout the year. 

Many of us feel that we have a novel inside us, but don’t know where to start. This year, the Grazia x Women's Prize for Fiction provides a starting point for your story – and perhaps the start of your writing career. An award-winning author has written the opening paragraph – and they want you to finish the chapter. You can take the story in whichever direction your inspiration leads, just keep to 800-1000 words. Prize includes a year of mentorship, $$, and lots of goodies. 


💡to learn

A 7-week online advocacy course for activists from Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, or Syria – by Minority Rights Group International

3 online media training sessions for feminist activists. The sessions' main purpose is to train activists in public speaking, and will be available in Spanish, French, and English. 


📆to join

8 April A 2-day conference "Unfinished: Actualizing an Intersectional Antiracist Future" featuring 60+ thought leaders that are evolving and disrupting systems in the pursuit of profound change in the US,  from Black-owned vegan ice cream, to clean tech solutions for underserved communities, to tiny houses for the unhoused, to artistic interventions. 

9 April At this critical juncture in the COVID pandemic, the Gender & Trade Coalition, together with the Women in Migration Network, come together to reframe the policy debate through a feminist lens on migration and trade, and how the pandemic offers an opportunity for a bottom-up approach to international trade and labour architecture. 

14 April Cecilia Muñoz is a former senior Latinx member of the Obama administration and longtime powerful voice in the civil rights movement. In her new book, she shares her insights, along with those of some extraordinary women of color she met along the way, as an offering of inspiration to women of color. In conversation with others at this event, Muñoz will reflect on how US government works and how it falls short, providing valuable lessons for advocacy and fighting for social justice. 
Have you ever wondered what the inside of a feminist icon's home is like? You can now satisfy that curiosity by taking a virtual tour of Gloria Steinem's NYC apartment, a central hub for activist groups for decades. 

What will hopefully be the future of erotica isles in bookshops

An event looking into the psychology behind overconsumption, the role that trends have in dictating our behaviour, and how we can break bad consumption habits. 

Diversify your Instagram feed and find inspiration in the incredible art from these 5 trans artists.

The internet just got a whole lot more entertaining. Lupita Nyong'o has started her own YouTube channel! Her channel is a fun series where she tries new things and in the first episode, Lupita learns how to ride a motorbike. It's a fairly relatable take on what it might be like to try riding for the first time – minus perhaps the shoutout to her friend Beyoncé...unless one of you knows her?? Do let us know ;) 
Last week, we shared Part I of the illustrated series "Virtual Gallery for Shifting Power" using art to explore decolonizing and reimagining 'development.' Each week brings a new collaboration between artists and in the most recent, an Indian illustrator and Spanish multimedia journalist come together to display a visual representation of debates surrounding ‘shifting the power’ in the development and aid sector.
