Mission Statement
The Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF), founded in 1987, is the nation's largest feminist research and action organization dedicated to women's equality, reproductive rights and health, and non-violence. Led by FMF President Eleanor Smeal, the programs focus on advancing the legal, social and political equality of women with men, countering the backlash to women's advancement, and recruiting and training young feminists to encourage future leadership for the feminist movement. To carry out these aims, FMF engages in research and public policy development, public education programs, grassroots organizing projects, leadership training and development programs. As we are committed to winning equality for women worldwide, all of our work incorporates a global focus.
Its sister organization, the Feminist Majority (formerly Fund for the Feminist Majority), a 501(c)(4) organization, focuses on empowering women in public policy-making as well as in gender balance in elective and appointive offices.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:
“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
