• The Vision •
Sociopolitical/Socioeconomic
Think Tank
Strategic, broad-based, yet meticulous organization identifying roadmaps for policy development and implementation to support the rewilding of women, as well as matriarchal, mutual-benefit forms of societal restructuring. Heavily focused on identifying others in this space and supporting them.
Any casual student of history observes again and again, the victors may be well-funded – but more than that, they are well-organized. They are cohesive, focused, persistent. Always
And so... we will be.
I'm not telling you what you don't already know
or need reminding.
I am simply stating my intentions clearly.
Because I need reminding.
Now,
down to business.
“What would the world look like if girls were taught they were volcanoes, whose erruptions were a thing of beauty, a power to behold, a force not to be trifled with?”

• Objectives •
Systems-focused
• Dismantling capitalist, white supremacist patriarchy at an institutional level • New societal infrastructure – Building our own businesses/institutions/schools/medical facilities/childcare facilities/universities/banks and financial investment firms, etc. and supporting those already doing this work • Study from successes of the past •
National/Global Collective
• Geneva Convention/League of Nations in style and scope • Partnering with other groups and organizations in the U.S. and internationally committed to doing this work and upholding these ideals • Creating cooperative, highly communicative networks of philosophically-matriarchal civil infrastructure •
Activism
• The Unites States has a deep, storied history of activism overcoming brutality, cruelty, exploitation and more • In this time of increasing fascism, tyranny, and rising authoritarianism, more and more are answering the call to rise up and defend democracy, and demand accountability and responsible governance from our leaders • TAF will seek to cooperate with and support activist organizations, as well as identify and establish strategies to help single moms enter this space with a greater sense of community and safety as they fight for a better future for their children •
Creating/Driving policy
• Create viable, sustainable public policy addressing broad spectrum of issues facing women​ • Identify and support organizations doing this work • Implement effective measures pressuring our elected officials, business and civic leaders, etc. to work toward societal measures supporting women • Strategic focus on harm reduction and suffering alleviation •
Identifying solutions for unsolved, unaddressed bullshit women face
• How to help • Where to donate/give • Strategies for activism • Mutual aid • Help tackle specific issues: treatment of women in major industries, single mom networks of support, women's agency in exiting marriages, failure of medical field to provide adequate care for black women, Indigenous populations experiencing disproportionate
number of missing and murdered women and girls, white women continuing to vote Republican and support oppressive and exploitative sociopolitical abuse, and white Christian nationalist, theocratic influence in governance, to name a few •
Combatting Right-Wing Extremism
• The dark days we are experiencing are the detritus and climax of a white supremacist patriarchy that has homicidally polluted the globe for centuries • The U.S. has a particular, more insidious brand of horrors right-wing extremism – in league with the Republican Party – is perpetually willing to unleash • It must be systematically, strategically combatted, diminished, and eliminated •
Specific organizations and topics include:​
-
Heritage Foundation
-
Federalist Society
-
Church involvement in government, elections, and public institutions
-
Tax money used for religious activity
-
Eternal, desperate protection of sexual predators in powerful positions
-
Socialism used for corporations, the military, the wealthy in a vastly inequitable manner
-
Voter suppression
-
Oppressive, exploitative, and violent foreign policy
-
Robber Barron oligarchs permitted to run amok with our democracy and commit a massive wealth grab
-
The lack of willingness for seemingly rational people, influential in governance and economics, to acknowledge, understand, and address to the inextricable link between capitalism and racism/misogny
• I could go on and on, but clearly this list is long enough already and I don't want anyone to feel hopeless because counteracting all of this is doable •
