I know this isn’t my usual Armchair Activist series, but i figured no one would mind if i just took a moment to remind everyone of Blog Against Sexism Day<\/a>, which is coming up on March 8th – less than a week. Here’s the text from the post i wrote at BASD’s new host,Taking Place<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Blog<\/a> The first Blog Against Sexism Day, on March 8th of 2006, was a huge success, especially considering i was still very new to the blogosphere and didn\u2019t really know many other feminist bloggers. The success is due entirely to individuals spreading the word on their blogs, through email, and other word-of-mouth methods. In the end, we had hundreds of participants from North and South America, Africa, Australia, Asia and Europe. The participants and topics discussed were so varied that it was, in my opinion, a perfect sampling of the feminist blogosphere.<\/p>\n

I paid attention to the requests from last year. In addition to Blog Against Sexism banners, i\u2019ve also made banners that read Blog For Gender Liberation, Blog For Women\u2019s Liberation, and Blog for Wimmin\u2019s Liberation. I also encourage others to create new banners and let me know if you do, so i can help spread the word about your work. Last year, i also had a lot of requests for reminders that i wasn\u2019t able to do because i didn\u2019t have a system in place. Although there are only a couple weeks before Blog Against Sexism Day, this year i\u2019m ready. So if you\u2019d like a reminder the day or two before, just let me know in the comments section of this post or drop me an email at veganwonder [at] gmail [dot] com.<\/p>\n

Although i\u2019m starting a little late getting the word out this year, i\u2019d like to see even more participants than the first year. So help by spreading the word. If you\u2019re interested in participating, all you have to do is write a post on March 8th. However, the day was also started to help spread the word about the numerous feminist and pro-feminist bloggers out there. So i greatly encourage you to add your name to the list of participants. To do so, just leave a comment here<\/a> with a link to your blog or email me<\/a> the url of your blog.<\/p>\n
