Frequently Asked Questions

    • We believe there is value in fixing the justice system from the inside. That's why we work to place women in strategic, bill-drafting positions -- so that they can author laws that truly benefit women, families, and the future.

    • Not yet. We're still growing, so all donations go toward strengthening the organization as a whole. Every contribution helps us raise the matriachy higher and higher.

    • Anything that affects people's dignity, people's rights, and people's futures: education, gender-based-violence, housing, healthcare, etc. We especially encourage civic commentary on trending legislations.

    • Not at all. Whether you're writing, recording a voice note, or just leaving a comment... your voice matters! Real people, real content, real impact!

    • #ChapterShe is our feminist book club and cadet incubator. It centers the belief that the first chapter -- of a book, a movement, or a life -- can be the start of something legendary.

    • Most of the cadets are writers, these poetic dreamers make powerful activists. But it is simply a coincidence, not a requirement. Everyone is welcome to #ChapterShe; it's a book club afterall.

    • B19 is a grassroot feminist organization originating from South Africa. We aim to get women elected, to amplify civic voices, and to nurture the next generation of activists.

    • Our doors are open to women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals who believe in social change, justice and inclusion. Allies are welcome too, especially organizations.

    • We love connecting with aligned movements -- whether it's co-hosting protests, exchanging resources, or offering safe spaces. Request a private meeting with Madam Ella.
