Mission

Medusa Rising is a newsletter and social media platform that builds on the radical materialist feminist (#radmatfem) frameworks developed in THE RADICAL NOTION. We exist to take radical materialist feminism into the next arm of its spiral: to share these ideas and analysis all over the world in easily accessible and useful forms.

We are eager to promote new feminist work on women's needs, life-wisdom, ideas, culture, soulcraft, politics, art, economy, ecological work, and social movement.

Men's systems and grids of organization (from national borders to nuclear families) fracture women's living connection in solidarity. Medusa Rising works on the diagonal, the swerve, the spiral to connect women around intersections of possible building and cooperation – women building worlds. We do this by modelling generative differences - a way of working together that deepens our strengths where we can cooperate and supports our specificity where we need to work separately.

Supporting women in resistance toward cultural recovery and increasing women's thriving requires both political and cultural work. Medusa Rising feel that welcome, joy, and deep witness are essential to this world building.

WINNING MANIFESTO

Medusa Rising amplifies an intergenerational lineage of women's dreaming toward more secure embodiment and agency, a human world fully re-embedded in the ecology that supports us, committed to care for lineage, earth-world, and each other. We welcome young radfems into a deep sisterhood where we reclaim and reimagine women's social and spiritual history. We want to uplift women, issues and ideas often disenfranchised in 'mainstream feminism.' We amplify projects and sister organizations that push for women's rights and protections, dignity and dreaming in all regions and cultures.

Patriarchy is the interlocking legal, economic, cultural, and religious systems and traditions that support male supremacy. It was born in the commodification, rape, and murder of women. It has existed in remarkably consistent forms for five thousand years. Medusa Rising means for this millennium to be its last.
