Fourth Wave

About

Fourth Wave is here to amplify the voices of women and other targeted groups. Our dream is to unite people across the U.S. and the globe to make life better for all women and all people worldwide. (We dream big!) We seek thoughtful pieces on topics that matter, with a goal of dismantling sexism, racism, homophobia, classism, and other supremacy-infected ideologies that suck. We also want reviews, humor, and poetry on those themes. Fourth Wave first formed up on May 15, 2019.
