Have a phone? Thoughts on liberty and/or feminism? You've got what it takes!
Calling all folks with something to say about libertarian feminism!

The Prompt
We’re looking for videos that address one of the following questions:
What does libertarian feminism look like in the 2020s? Tell us what issues you think are most important for libertarian feminists to focus on now and in the near future. Show us how a project, policy, or personal achievement of yours embodies the modern libertarian feminist spirit. Show us a mutual aid network, innovative response to social issues, private charity effort, inspiring example of entrepreneurship, art project, or advocacy initiative around you. Etcetera. These are just suggestions — please interpret the prompt as it inspires you.
What issues deserve more attention from today’s liberty movement? Tell us about topics you’re passionate about and wish that more libertarians would be, too.
What do many feminists get wrong about ________? Tell us about a popular feminist issue where people tend to reach for big-government solutions and what more libertarian alternatives to addressing this issue look like.
