In this photograph from the Mary Beth Edelson Collection, the Women’s Action Coalition (WAC) takes to the streets to confront violence against women. Images like this remind us of the political power that rests in history, how vital feminist resistance has always been, and how easily it can be lost. By supporting TFI, you protect these urgent stories of feminist movements so they can continue to inspire present + future generations.

Preserving feminist history is urgent work, but taking a feminist approach to documentation is just as vital. When TFI steps into someone’s archive, we’re entering an affective ecosystem. This is why we follow a feminist ethics of care archival practice: radical empathy, mutual responsibility, and collaboration over extraction. We stand in a lineage of feminist information professionals, culture-workers, and activists who reimagined cultural production. For us, this is information activism: not only uncovering and making available hidden narratives, but also building strong relationships within our community while we do it.
