During 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, from November 25 to December 10, we call on everyone to take action!

One of the ways that we encourage folks to learn more about ending oppressions is to fill their feed with moments to expand learning.

Here’s a very big and incomplete list of some of the folks that DWS regularly learns from. (We thought about making the list by subject, but alphabetized by insta address instead…)
