FIRST FEMINIST GENERAL ASSEMBLY, organized by Women Occupying Wall St (WOW)

Location: Washington Square Park

The Feminist GA combined play with work, joy with rage, and—true to feminist history—the personal with the political. The gathering opened with drumming and dancing and was followed by discussions of personal discoveries of feminism and shared values. Smaller breakout groups began building activist agendas and strategies. It was so successful that the 300 attendees decided to repeat the GA once a month, focusing on actions. Organizers expect the ongoing assemblies to inspire actions in New York, the nation, and the world. Everyone welcome to all future Feminist GAs!
