DIVERSITY MAKES US STRONG
by Patti Bond
Norman , Okla . -- t~e have seen humanity at
its worst . We have seen women begging for
a better life , to be killed for asking . We
have seen children bruised , broken and
abandoned in the streets . We have seen
men so filled with rage they don't know
they're hitting . We have seen each other
consumed and swollen by the pain of doing
this work . But with all that we've seen ,
we push forward in a refusal to close our
eyes to the vision of this work . And the
vision of this work is a safe world ••• a
Safe place for WOmen and Children . 11
The quote is taken from an address given •
by P. Catlin Fullwood recently in Oklahoma ,
speaking at a conference of the Okl~homa
Coalition on Domestic Violence and Sexual
Assault.
Fullwood is a community organizer of the
Southern California Coalition on Battered
Women and is a member of the steering committee of the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence . She is also a member
and past chair of the Women of Color Task
Force , NCADV .
Her introduction was greeted with cheers ,
and a standing ovation thanked her for her
words encouraging unity within the movement .
11
\iJe 1 ve a11 come together from our persona 1
identities and ou~ personal histories and
our personal places to come together in a
plan of action . And that ' s power o Our
diversity is our power ; It is our strength , 11
said Fullwood .
\~e don't have to be the
same , we just have to be united in a single
cause •.• to end violence in the lives of
women .
11
11
Fullwood said she and others began the work
expecting to go to the systems , tell them of
the problem they were not properly addressing . - ~ that the victims were not getting a
. fair shake in our criminal justem system .
11
We really thought we were going to say the
words and everybody was going to say , 'Yea ,
you ' re absol~tely right . Let's fix that . 1
"But what we were met with was, 'But , don ' t
you think she didn ' t have any business being
out in the street at that hour? Don ' t you
think she shouldn ' t have been dressed like
that? Well , why do these women stay? 1 11
11
We weren ' t ;radical feminists ••• We got radicalized because no one wanted to listen to
us . They made us be radical . What we
thought .was a very simple message , that all
women deser ve protection under the law •.•
whether f the assailant is a stranger , a f r iend ,
a husband. That we need and demand equal
protection ."
"So somehow , we , in taking this posture ,
which we thought was perfectly understandable
and legitimate posture , that women didn ' t
deserve to be beaten in their home and raped
in the street , and we were treated as radi cals . "
She said as she was asked questions such as
why men batter and why women stay , she real ized she didn ' t have the answers . She only
knew it was wrong . But 11 how many times can
you get up and say , 'Well , I think its wrong
that men hurt women . 1
She said people demanded more . They wanted
an understanding of why it happens .
"Because in order to make social change , you
have to understand the intricate social sys tems that support violence against women . "
11
cont . p. 2

cont . from p. 1
She explained the system as a room with
walls , with som~ peopl~ living in a room
wi th more . walls . The walls being racism ,
sexism , hete r osexism i n the form of homo phobia , classism , economic violence , health
violence , sterilization abuse , etc .
11
You 1 r e walking along in these great st r ides
in your room and al l of a sudden you come
smack dab into one of those walls . Toe to
toe, eye to eye with your oppression . And
it .1 s r ea l, 11 said Fullwood .
She said that in str ipping away the lay~rs
to find the t r uth about why women are beat en and raped , they found that it wasn ' t
just sexism , but all the other 11 isms 11 that
rely 11 upon the dehumanizat i on .of other
people 11 who we bel i eve are lesser .
She said the minority in power (primar i ly
white , wealthy males) use .the differences ·
in the rest of the populati on to hold on
to their power by dividing them , forcing
them to spend their energies expl aining how
they are different .
11
The di \/ers-ity is the difference that makes
us the strongest ••• It is also our greatest
challenge , 11 Fullwood said .
11
I think it 1 s important to note that those
women who built this movement -- women of
colo r, lesbians , non-lesbians , working
mothers , wo~king mothers in the home , single
parents , married women -- are all women .
We serve all women because all women get
battered and raped , 11 said Fullwood .
11
0ur strength is our wi l lingness and our
need to say who we are . We are different
women with different issues . Oppressions
ar~ simultaneous . Tbey are interconnected .
We tome from this place of knowing that we
all can be battered women . We can al l be
raped . This can happen to any of us .. 11

Subwa~:s
Penthouse in _the
.
As a result of femin i st protest and community
pressure , Penthouse magazine has cancelled .
its subway advertising contract with the
Washington Metropolitan Area Tr ansit Author ity. A coalition of a dozen women ' s organi zat ions oppo~ed to the Penthouse ads formed
immediately after the first one appeared in
100 subway cars . The ad showed a woman lying
on a bil l iard .table with poker chips around
her neck. The .coalition held press confer ences , leafle:tted subway stops , circu l ated
petitions and met wi th transit and authority
board members .and marketing officials .

DIVERSITY MAKES US STRONG
by Patti Bond
Norman , Okla . -- t~e have seen humanity at
its worst . We have seen women begging for
a better life , to be killed for asking . We
have seen children bruised , broken and
abandoned in the streets . We have seen
men so filled with rage they don't know
they're hitting . We have seen each other
consumed and swollen by the pain of doing
this work . But with all that we've seen ,
we push forward in a refusal to close our
eyes to the vision of this work . And the
vision of this work is a safe world ••• a
Safe place for WOmen and Children . 11
The quote is taken from an address given •
by P. Catlin Fullwood recently in Oklahoma ,
speaking at a conference of the Okl~homa
Coalition on Domestic Violence and Sexual
Assault.
Fullwood is a community organizer of the
Southern California Coalition on Battered
Women and is a member of the steering committee of the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence . She is also a member
and past chair of the Women of Color Task
Force , NCADV .
Her introduction was greeted with cheers ,
and a standing ovation thanked her for her
words encouraging unity within the movement .
11
\iJe 1 ve a11 come together from our persona 1
identities and ou~ personal histories and
our personal places to come together in a
plan of action . And that ' s power o Our
diversity is our power ; It is our strength , 11
said Fullwood .
\~e don't have to be the
same , we just have to be united in a single
cause •.• to end violence in the lives of
women .
11
11
Fullwood said she and others began the work
expecting to go to the systems , tell them of
the problem they were not properly addressing . - ~ that the victims were not getting a
. fair shake in our criminal justem system .
11
We really thought we were going to say the
words and everybody was going to say , 'Yea ,
you ' re absol~tely right . Let's fix that . 1
"But what we were met with was, 'But , don ' t
you think she didn ' t have any business being
out in the street at that hour? Don ' t you
think she shouldn ' t have been dressed like
that? Well , why do these women stay? 1 11
11
We weren ' t ;radical feminists ••• We got radicalized because no one wanted to listen to
us . They made us be radical . What we
thought .was a very simple message , that all
women deser ve protection under the law •.•
whether f the assailant is a stranger , a f r iend ,
a husband. That we need and demand equal
protection ."
"So somehow , we , in taking this posture ,
which we thought was perfectly understandable
and legitimate posture , that women didn ' t
deserve to be beaten in their home and raped
in the street , and we were treated as radi cals . "
She said as she was asked questions such as
why men batter and why women stay , she real ized she didn ' t have the answers . She only
knew it was wrong . But 11 how many times can
you get up and say , 'Well , I think its wrong
that men hurt women . 1
She said people demanded more . They wanted
an understanding of why it happens .
"Because in order to make social change , you
have to understand the intricate social sys tems that support violence against women . "
11
cont . p. 2

cont . from p. 1
She explained the system as a room with
walls , with som~ peopl~ living in a room
wi th more . walls . The walls being racism ,
sexism , hete r osexism i n the form of homo phobia , classism , economic violence , health
violence , sterilization abuse , etc .
11
You 1 r e walking along in these great st r ides
in your room and al l of a sudden you come
smack dab into one of those walls . Toe to
toe, eye to eye with your oppression . And
it .1 s r ea l, 11 said Fullwood .
She said that in str ipping away the lay~rs
to find the t r uth about why women are beat en and raped , they found that it wasn ' t
just sexism , but all the other 11 isms 11 that
rely 11 upon the dehumanizat i on .of other
people 11 who we bel i eve are lesser .
She said the minority in power (primar i ly
white , wealthy males) use .the differences ·
in the rest of the populati on to hold on
to their power by dividing them , forcing
them to spend their energies expl aining how
they are different .
11
The di \/ers-ity is the difference that makes
us the strongest ••• It is also our greatest
challenge , 11 Fullwood said .
11
I think it 1 s important to note that those
women who built this movement -- women of
colo r, lesbians , non-lesbians , working
mothers , wo~king mothers in the home , single
parents , married women -- are all women .
We serve all women because all women get
battered and raped , 11 said Fullwood .
11
0ur strength is our wi l lingness and our
need to say who we are . We are different
women with different issues . Oppressions
ar~ simultaneous . Tbey are interconnected .
We tome from this place of knowing that we
all can be battered women . We can al l be
raped . This can happen to any of us .. 11

Subwa~:s
Penthouse in _the
.
As a result of femin i st protest and community
pressure , Penthouse magazine has cancelled .
its subway advertising contract with the
Washington Metropolitan Area Tr ansit Author ity. A coalition of a dozen women ' s organi zat ions oppo~ed to the Penthouse ads formed
immediately after the first one appeared in
100 subway cars . The ad showed a woman lying
on a bil l iard .table with poker chips around
her neck. The .coalition held press confer ences , leafle:tted subway stops , circu l ated
petitions and met wi th transit and authority
board members .and marketing officials .
