Overview

Nasty Women Get Shit Done (NWGSD) emerged in Portland, Oregon in response to the 2016 presidential election results when friends gathered together to brainstorm ways to help their community and to actively resist the xenophobia, racism, misogyny, ableism, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, anti-Earth platform and policies of the new administration. We strive to listen, learn, and take the lead from people within marginalized and targeted groups. We seek to understand the role of our own power and privilege in building a united and intersectional resistance. Our meetings include an educational component so that we can continue to learn ways to be allies within our community. Mission Statement: To support an era of activism, democracy, and progressive politics in which we advocate for social, financial, and environmental justice.
