"LADYFESTO

We work to foster feminism as part of everyday experience.

We realize that feminism is a concept that is forever being redefined and holds different meanings for different people.

We recognize that gender is not binary and that is exists separately from sex.

We believe that art is a powerful form of resistance.

We continue to struggle against many forms of oppression, such as: race, class, sexuality, gender, dis/ability, age, size and religion.

We believe in acting as allies where we can.

We value the importance of community.
