Feminist Action Coalition correspondence and administrative files, 2005

The Bates College Feminist Action Coalition was started in 2005, as a “non-sectarian, non-partisan, voluntary organization that utilizes resources made available by the Feminist Majority Foundation.” Its purpose was to empower women by advocating social, political and economic equality through political action and awareness of issues such as reproductive health, domestic abuse, and global women’s issues; and to provide leadership, education and community for feminists on campus. The FAC was founded because the Women's Resource Center was not meant to be an overtly political organization.
