FIRE is a feminist of color student organization at Kansas State University housed in the American ethnic studies department. We aim to ignite communities toward progressive social change, while also creating a space for and centering feminist voices of those historically erased, marginalized, or made invisible within mainstream feminist and anti-violence movements. FIRE recognizes that any claim to feminism that fails to account for the intersectionality of oppressions will be complicit in the oppression of others. We therefore center Women of Color and Queer of Color voices and analyses in our feminist practice and engagement. We privilege knowledge that has been gained through struggle and experience, and acknowledge that many individuals inhabit multiple identities.

​

FIRE seeks to employ consciousness-raising, political education, and activism in order to confront the injustices that affect not only local communities of Manhattan and the Kansas State campus, but also those who live beyond our local borders. Please join us!
