Gorgon Posse of Medusa Rising
Podcast Description
Medusa Rising -- medusarising.org -- exists to take radical materialist feminism into the next arm of its spiral: to share these ideas and analysis all over the world in easily accessible and useful forms. We are eager to publish, promote, and discuss new feminist work on women’s needs, life-wisdom, ideas, culture, soulcraft, politics, art, economy, ecological work, and social movement.
We see combinations of authoritarianism and woman-hating on the increase in conservative and progressive movements around the world. We create and support international and intergenerational feminist work responding to these developing threats in radical materialist feminist tradition (#radmatfem) developed by THE RADICAL NOTION Collective.
Supporting women in resistance toward cultural recovery and increasing women’s thriving requires both political and cultural work. Medusa Rising feel that welcome, joy, and deep witness are essential to this world building.

Her strategic actions have made a significant impact, notably directing protests at the 2024 Endocrine Society Conference in Boston, MA, and the 2024 American Academy of Pediatrics Conference in Orlando, Florida.
