Started at the tail end of 2009, the DC Feminist Calendar was a brainchild of Laura & Katie two active & avid feminists dedicated to their local communities. Not affiliated with any one organization, this calendar is a spot where they share all the great events they find, both hoping that others will join in adding their own events.
Katie is a DC teacher, poet, activist, thinker, and foodie. She loves DC for the farmer’s markets, the literary history, the poetry, the happy hours, and the way everyone here wants to do everything. She educates because she’s a pessimist who believes in the power of language. She used to want to rule the world, but now she’s satisfied with trying to rule her classroom.
Laura is a bit obsessed with the intersections of the political, personal, art, and spiritual. Her work with WACDTF, the Fully Engaged Feminism podcast, the Visions in Feminism conference and the DC Feminist Calendar has honed her organizational skills and challenged her views on ‘reaching out’ to the community. She loves vegan baking, her crock pot, tattoos, cats, and oodles of other things.
