A LITTLE BIT MORE
About Us
THE FEMINIST BIRD CLUB WAS FOUNDED BY MOLLY ADAMS IN 2016 AS A WAY TO LEVERAGE BOTH THEIR PASSION FOR BIRDS AND THEIR PASSION FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE INTO A COHESIVE WHOLE. SINCE THEN, THE FEMINIST BIRD CLUB HAS EXPANDED TO CHAPTERS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AND IN THE NETHERLANDS.
Our goal is two-fold: Make birding and the outdoors inclusive and affirming to people who may not have safe access to it, and leverage people’s passion for the environment and social justice to help create lasting social change. More simply put: There is no reason why we can’t celebrate birds and support our most cherished beliefs in equity and justice at the same time. For us, it’s not either/or.
THE SEATTLE CHAPTER
We formed in April of 2019. Our first bird walk was at the Washington Park Arboretum on April 27th. We had a great turnout and our flock has continued to grow. A group of volunteers works behind the scenes to make our walks and events a safe space for all. Are you curious about joining our Organizing Committee? Please reach out!
We actively partner with other groups who share our values of equity, inclusion, and justice in the outdoors. If you think that we might collectively make something awesome together, please email feministbirdclubseattle@gmail.com and let us know!
