About Us

Our feminism must focus on eliminating intersectional struggles. Our work centers the experiences of, and fights for the rights of, people who identify as Indigenous, trans, nonbinary, queer, women, disabled, Black, brown, or any combination thereof, and for the equity of people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. All chapters need to work against perpetuating white feminism and any extension of misogyny.

Members must understand why feminism and anti-racist actions are important and necessary for conservation and environmental justice during our current climate crisis.

At events, everyone must be respectful of one another. This includes being considerate of new birders, acknowledging individual’s pronouns and rejecting any notion of racism, sexism, ableism, classism, homophobia, or xenophobia.

All flora and fauna encountered at events must be treated with respect and participation in local conservation actions are always encouraged. The ABA Code of Birding Ethics – American Birding Association must be followed by all members at all events.

We recognize that support needs to go beyond being a platform, and in order to effect change we need to provide material support, time, and labor. We invite all members to join us in this work.
