About UT Austin Feminist Policy Alliance
At the heart of the University of Texas Austin's LBJ School of Public Affairs, the Feminist Policy Alliance creates an inclusive community for students focused on policy issues that affect women. This student organization recognizes that gender equity is fundamental to effective governance and social progress, and it brings together like-minded individuals who are committed to advancing feminist perspectives in policy work. The Feminist Policy Alliance welcomes all students interested in these issues, fostering a collaborative environment where diverse viewpoints strengthen the organization's collective mission.
Based in Austin, a city known for its progressive values and innovative spirit, the Feminist Policy Alliance is uniquely positioned to engage with policymakers, community leaders, and advocates working on women's issues. The organization brings education and advocacy directly to the LBJ School community, the broader University of Texas campus, and the Austin area, creating opportunities for students to learn from practitioners and contribute to ongoing policy conversations. Members gain practical experience in policy analysis, advocacy strategy, and community engagement while building relationships with peers who share their commitment to gender justice.
The Feminist Policy Alliance represents the next generation of policy leaders who understand that addressing women's issues requires multidisciplinary approaches and sustained commitment. By creating space for dialogue, education, and action, the organization empowers students to become advocates and change-makers in their future careers. Whether members pursue roles in government, nonprofits, academia, or the private sector, the Feminist Policy Alliance equips them with the knowledge, networks, and confidence to champion policies that advance equality and opportunity for all women.
