RebELLEs: the movie – Féminisme Uncensored tells the story of the first rumblings of the RebELLEs Movement, a movement of young feminists who set out to improve the lives of all women. The RebELLEs Movement (Waves of Resistance) is founded on the principles of self-organization, decentralization, provincial/territorial autonomy and coordination of pan-Canadian action, all of which enable RebELLEs to act as a national political movement.

Step by step, we're creating our movement and the history of Canadian feminism and it's with enthusiasm that we announce that the pancanadian evaluation and follow-up meeting of the Waves of Resistance young feminists gathering is finally here!!! Tomorrow, we will gather for tree days to dress our evaluation the gathering and its spin-offs, but most of all we will be talking about possibilities and dreams for the future. The provincial organizers from the 11 provinces and territories have completed consultations with RebELLEs who participated in the gathering and will share the fruit of their reflections and their propositions for the continuation with delegates from across Canada!!! (See the consultation questions submitted by the Organisation Committee lower on this page).
This weekend, 18 young feminists, as well as the Organizing Committee, will participate in these tree days of feminist rediscovery, in discussions and fun at a chalet near Montreal! Each of the province and territories will be represented by at least one delegate, except Prince Edward Island and the Northwest Territories. A 17-year-old aboriginal delegate will also be present. These young women make up a small sample of the feminist energies of the 500 participants who made Waves of Resistance an unmistakable feminist milestone for the history of the feminist movement in Canada.

IWD, March 8th 2009: Young Feminists' Pan-Canadian Day of Decentralized Actions
March 8th is approaching fast and we're ringing the bell for feminist action! The young feminists' pan-Canadian day of decentralized actions is around the corner! 
We produced a bunch of tools to support you in the organization of your actions.
- A guide: "How to Organize a Feminist Action for IWD 2009"
- Suggestions for Facilitating a Workshop on organizing feminist actions
- A reminder sheet on how to get media coverage for an action in just a few steps, including a sample media advisory and a sample news release that you can adapt to your community and your action
Women, it's time for action; we need to raise our voices, make our Manifesto known and shake up the established patriarchal order.
