About The Wave of Reckoning

The Wave of Reckoning is a grass roots organization born out of our desire to help promote a new wave of feminism to combat the current political climate. We hope to build this new feminist movement through our bold activist attire and accessories to support ending rollback of the initiatives we fought so long for, as well as supporting the causes still requiring change. Together we can all prevent fascism from taking over our country and protect our most vulnerable populations.

Feminism has been around since the 1800’s. It has taken many forms from the suffrage movements to the free loving protestors of the 60’s and 70’s. From Betty Friedan’s Feminine Mystique to Dorothy Marder’s collection of photographs documenting the women’s strike for peace. Second wave feminism was rounding out when I entered the earth and in came the third wave. This wave came with a heavy focus on diversity, inclusion, LGBTQI+ rights and anti-racism. This was the wave I rode through my 20’s and 30’s. Watching the works of this wave crash and burn with our current administration is nothing short of a catastrophe to not only women but the American people.

When the current and fourth wave of feminism rushed in it was angrier. As it should be. We were done with the violence against women. We were done with rape culture. We were loudly #metoo’ing. It is quite evident that this movement must continue (hey Epstein files where are you?). But we cannot forget the previous waves. We cannot allow the rollback of everything that was fought for since the 1800’s.

Our current administration is setting us back, so far back we all have whiplash. When does it end? While MAGA sits idly by laughing with their leader at the human rights violations, the end of DEI, BIPOC communities being decimated and funding stolen from the American people for our most marginalized communities, we mourn. The women before us are rolling over in their graves watching as everything that they worked so hard to fix is washed away.

This is a call to action. A call for the fifth wave. A wave so large it will be felt for decades to come. We shall call it the Wave of Reckoning. We cannot idly sit by and continue to watch what is happening. We must unite to not only continue fighting for all the previous waves before us, but for what is needed now. Every single wave before us is disappearing. We must not allow this to continue.
