Description
An account of the resource
Feminist Action at Middlebury, commonly referred to as FAM, has existed since the early 90’s when it was called the Coalition for Feminist Consciousness (CFC). After the DU mannequin incident of 1988, there was a surge of feminist activism in which The Coalition for Women/FAM was created. FAM’s mission is to explore and question the construction of gender and gender stereotypes and how they relate to gender-based violence, as well as address and explore a variety of issues relating to various feminisms. FAM continues to be present on campus today and has worked closely with Chellis House since the house opened in 1993. Over the years, FAM has engaged in comprehensive feminist activism on topics ranging from menstrual and reproductive justice, anti-sexual assault activism, and body positivity, to school, local, state, and national politics, and advocacy for trans rights and womxn of color.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection contains student-led activism in opposition of the local crisis pregnancy center (CPC) in the town of Middlebury, currently known as "The Women's Center." CPCs are religiously-affiliated, pro-life organizations which seek to deter women and pregnant people from getting abortions. Though they pose as legitimate medical facilities, CPCs are not licensed medical facilities and rarely staff licensed medical professionals. Since the founding of the CPC in Middlebury in the late 1980s, the organization has had a presence on campus, advertising to students. In recent years, this presence has largely been in the form of attending the Student Activities Fair. Student-activists have organized around banning that presence, which has not been successfully granted by the college as of yet.
