Feminists for Liberty is a nonprofit libertarian organization committed to promoting libertarian feminist ideas and voices. It was founded in 2016 by Kat Murti and Elizabeth Nolan Brown. According to its website, the organization describes itself as “anti-sexism and anti-statism, pro-markets and pro-choice—in everything.”

On Tuesday afternoon, the organization announced through its Substack that it made the first issue of Reclaim, initially released in 2023 as a physical run, freely available through its official website. The first issue features contributions from various libertarian writers, including Kaytlin Bailey, Addyson Garner, Cathy Reisenwitz, Liz Nolan Brown, and Maria Alejandra Londoño, alongside other content.

In addition, Feminists for Liberty announced that its open to pitches from contributors interested in participating in Reclaim’s second issue. The organization is actively seeking pitches for both short and long-form content, with a particular focus on topics related to gender issues, education, parenting, sex and sexuality, pregnancy, abortion, women’s health, economic freedom, free speech, and criminal justice, all examined from a libertarian feminist perspective.

“We’re seeking 1) short (350-words or less) reviews of cultural items (books, TV shows, podcasts, newsletters, films, albums, etc), 2) short (450 words or less) newsy pieces or op-eds on current events (trends; legislation; lawsuits; etc.), 3) personal essays (roughly 800 to 1,000 words), and 4) reported feature articles (roughly 1,000-2,500 words),” it states.

Feminists for Liberty also shared that it will compensate contributors based on the type of content they provide for the zine. Writers who are interested are asked to pitch their ideas to the organization, and more details are available on the Feminists for Liberty website.
