Gorgon Posse of Medusa Rising

About Gorgon Posse of Medusa Rising

Medusa Rising -- medusarising.org -- exists 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 publish, promote, and discuss new feminist work on women’s needs, life-wisdom, ideas, culture, soulcraft, politics, art, economy, ecological work, and social movement. Enjoy The Gorgon Posse Playlist - Songs for Breaking Up with Male Supremacy (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3GTb1DFqPHpYVpkSsTAPNO?si=Bue-HRHNReiCR54xFM7lQg&pi=Z-E4TU2VR-e8L) Pay These Brilliant Women for World Making: Tip Them! https://www.medusarising.org/#/portal/support (https://buymeacoffee.com/medusarisingorgonposse) We see combinations of authoritarianism and woman-hating on the increase in conservative and progressive movements around the world. We create and support international and intergenerational feminist work responding to these developing threats in radical materialist feminist tradition (#radmatfem) developed by THE RADICAL NOTION Collective (https://theradicalnotion.org) and Jane Clare Jones (https://feminist-thought.org/). 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. We have a Goddess Planet to heal and a future to dream into existence.
