Follow Message Edit

A feminist umbrella organization for promoting lesbian and womyn’s community. Purple is a feminist umbrella organization for activities and initiatives that promote lesbian and womyn's community. We adopt appropriate projects proposed and primarily staffed by others as projects of Purple Inc., consulting with and advising the organizers, and extending to the projects the benefits of our tax-deductible non-profit status and the use of our resources. In this way,​ we stimulate and foster activities that immediately benefit lesbian/womyn's community and serve as an incubator for promising initiatives that need a boost to start up but may grow and develop into independent entities.

Purple (A Legacy Site) | Fostering lesbian and womyn's community Purple A Legacy Site Our Vision Please note Having brought our major projects to a happy conclusion we dissolved Purple as of August 31 2023. This site functions only as a repository of information about the Lesbian Legacies Endowment we created and as a record of Purples herstory. Purple is a feminist umbrella organization for activities and initiatives that promote lesbian and womyns community. At present our major focus is on promoting the Lesbian Legacies Endowment at the Michigan State University Libraries Special Collections and on soliciting donations to increase the capacity of the endowment to make grants to visiting scholars.

And one last ask on our way out. We will maintain a mostly decommissioned version of this website online for the next three years, partly as a record of our doings. But most importantly it is a one-stop source for information about the Lesbian Legacies Endowment, the sorts of materials in MSU Special Collections it covers, and how to access both the archives and the Visiting Scholars program that will be administering grants under the endowment.

Their activism paved the way for crucial conversations and actions that continue to inspire us. Let's honor their legacy by supporting causes that uplift and empower! 💪❤️ #EndViolence #EmpowerWomen
