Fuck yeah. These girls are awesome. I love how the post itself manages to be simultaneously girly and erudite, serious and light. Can't wait to vote for these people.

This is great! It's now in my imaginary organizing handbook along with these guides (disclosure - written by people I know, since I met them through things they organized!):

• How to run a feminist unconference by Mary Gardiner and Valerie Aurora
• How to start a feminist makerspace by Liz Henry
• How to start a collaborative feminist publication by Amelia Greenhall
• How to start a feminist backchannel (such as a Slack chat) by Valerie Aurora

awesome!

(though sadly I feel like if any high-schooler did that here - and there are plenty who would - they'd get in trouble for "sedition" or what not)
