“In the Old Left, they used to say that the workers don’t know they’re oppressed, so we have to raise their consciousness. One night at a meeting I said, ‘Would everybody please give me an example from their own life on how they experienced oppression as a woman? I need to hear it to raise my own consciousness.’ Kathie was sitting behind me and the words rang in her mind. From then on she sort of made it an institution and called it consciousness-raising.”

PLANT is consciousness raising in the form of personal essays. By sharing our first-hand experiences in the entertainment industry we make invisible, systemic oppression visible, we plant the seeds for change.
