Friend:

If the work of Feminist Frequency were a video game, YOU are the player that makes it possible for us to Level Up.
 

Thirteen years ago we made our first video about the rather dismal state of representation in games. We asked you to join us in speaking out and advocating for change. You said YES, and together we have moved the needle towards the inclusion of diverse voices and respectful and accurate depictions of marginalized groups. 


Not satisfied with just speaking out about problems, we asked you to help us develop the Games and Online Harassment Hotline so that we can be there for our community in moments of crisis. You said YES, and we now support players, game makers, streamers and anyone else who is struggling or dealing with abuse and harassment. 


Empowering audiences and supporting survivors is critical, but we must also address toxicity in games at its source if we want to stop harm from happening in the first place. You said YES and your support helped us launch The Culture Shift Project this year - it works within game companies to rethink the structures and policies that fail to protect game industry workers and contribute to a toxic games culture. 

Today we’re launching our end-of year fundraising campaign and we need you on our team. We’re asking you to help us Level Up and raise $20,000 by December 31 to support this work in 2023.

We’re creating the blueprint for games industry change because simply put, no one has done this before. We’re in the process of transitioning to our own independent call center so that the Hotline can maintain the highest possible quality and consistency of the support we provide. All while we continue to create resources and podcasts to educate, support, and activate our community. 

With your help, we'll end 2022 with the resources to not only support the gaming community, but to help the industry itself transform for the better.

P.S. When you Level Up today you won’t be alone! Thanks to generous corporate sponsors, we're able to match the first $15,000 donated!
