The second email list is the interactive discussion and decision-making email lists for members.

FIST is unique among radical feminist groups in that we are democratically run by our members. All members of FIST who are paid up on their dues get voice and vote in the decision-making of the national organization through what we call the Feminist Assembly. Decisions of the Feminist Assembly are made at membership meetings held on zoom, through on-line vote on this interactive email list, or at national conferences. Members are free to unsubscribe, but they may not be able to fully participate in national decision making, especially if there are on-line votes.

When you complete the membership form, you will also receive the password for the member pages where you will find FIST’s Bylaws, Rules of Conduct, and additional information and resources regarding FIST.
