My name is Mia Ferguson, and I am a student representative for the Feminist Action Project here on campus. The Feminist Action Project is a student group that organizes an annual activist conference for gender justice in today’s world.
The title of our conference this year is, “Mapping Out the Crossroads, Beyond Mainstream Feminism”. At this year’s conference, we hope to cultivate an environment where feminism can be explored through intersectionality and explore concepts that transcend the dialogue found in everyday media, such as toxic masculinity, colorism and activist self-care. We are honored to announce our keynote speaker, Kim Katrin Millan, an award-winning, internationally acclaimed artist, educator and writer. I wanted to see if you would be interested in co-sponsoring the program with us. I realize that the Texas Parents Association has already distributed funds to UT student organizations for the year, but there are many ways to co-sponsor other than financially. Our organization would be incredibly grateful for any of them.
