Help FEM Newsmagazine Thrive!

What is FEM Newsmagazine?

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, and more. We create a wide range of compassionate multimedia content that re-centers narratives often rejected or ignored by mainstream media. 

To keep doing this important work for the UCLA community and beyond, we need your help.

Last year, thanks to the generous donations from our Spark Campaign, we were able to accomplish a lot and continue growing our magazine during the challenges of remote learning. This year is going to pose some unique challenges, but we’re up for it.

As FEM navigates the challenges posed by an ever-present pandemic, our team needs funding to support our discussions surrounding intersectional feminism. FEM brings people of all backgrounds together to further our mission statement. This funding gives us the freedom to fairly compensate our editors and also allocates resources to the printing of our physical magazines. 

What can you do?

During this challenging, unprecedented time, your financial support would mean the world to us. Because of your donation, we will be able to host successful virtual events; create meaningful virtual articles, designs, videos, and radio shows; and keep supporting our FEM family.

Now, more than ever, in light of growing international tensions and ableist mindsets during the COVID-19 pandemic, FEM’s content is essential. Your donation will go directly to supporting emerging journalists and creatives embarking on their careers during a time in which journalism is more necessary than ever. Because of your contribution to FEM, we will be able to provide crucial information to our community as we navigate this historical moment.

Looking Ahead

Last year’s Spark Campaign was a huge success. We were blown away by your generosity! With the money we were able to raise, we were able to move completely online while still continuing to keep the vital conversations going that FEM is pushing for. 

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 a one-of-a-kind, 48-year-old legacy of feminist thought and activism.
