Yes Thank you for recognizing the seriousness of the situation in which we find ourselves. Sometimes I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe where people don’t seem to actually see what is happening. And thank you Ruth for bringing our attention to this amazing effort that you’re involved in. You are inspiring and give me hope every time I learn more about what you do, but this project is particularly resonant now. I look forward to delving into this deeper.
I recently compiled a film that was on a shelf for a long time but I thought under the circumstances I should release it - it’s a concert film of a Fugazi show in 1995. I put it here as representation of a community of trust in which there are such people who identify as male feminists. https://vimeo.com/1027456183 On Mon, Feb 3, 2025 at 1:54 PM Ruth Hayes <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the call, Phil. > > Here’s an initiative that I’ve joined recently, the Abortion Clinic Film > Collective.
