To fellow intactivists, feminists, and all who are advocates for social justice:
I am planning several intactivist-related events in the next several months and I am seeking your sponsorship. Having your support will contribute to the possibility of these endeavors for which there is no funding aside from my own monetary capabilities.
As many of you may already know, my name is Travis Wisdom. I am completing a bachelor's degree in Women's Studies, and I am currently an intern for the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC). I also interned with Doctors Opposing Circumcision, and I have published articles with The Whole Woman and for the Childbirth Postpartum Professional Association on topics related to circumcision including: feminism and genital integrity, the benefits of the intact penis, the effects of foreskin amputations, and a personal declaration of feminist intactivism. Most recently, I have founded the Las Vegas, Nevada chapter of NOCIRC.
In April 2011, I will be giving one presentation in Lisbon, Portugal, and two presentations in Vancouver, Canada. My presentations will discuss: the legitimization and validation of the genital integrity movement, the ways in which circumcision is made “normal,” and the activist methods employed by our movement.
The details are as follows:
International Society for Ethnology and Folklore presents ‘People Make Places –Ways of Feeling the World,’ April 17-21, 2011, Lisbon, Portugal

Simon Frasier University’s Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies presents ‘The Medicalization of Sex: An International, Interdisciplinary, Multimedia Conference,’ April 28-30, 2011, Vancouver, Canada
(http://www.sfu.ca/gsws/MedicalizationofSex.html)
In addition to three presentations, I am organizing a local intactivist panel, and I will also be giving two speeches as part of my Women's Studies degree requirements. The estimated total for these events is $6,000, which includes conference, registration, and dining fees, in addition to airfare and hotel accommodation.
Indeed, there is no suggested sponsorship amount, and I will formally highlight those who wish to contribute (unless otherwise specified). You may be affiliated with an organization or you may be a private citizen. While these presentations serve to advance my academic career, they will also allow me to educate people about our movement and its goals.
If you have any questions, please contact me. I use Paypal, and my e-mail address is the same as above. Lauren Stone will be holding an Ebay auction and seeking donated items for this fundraiser. She can be contacted via facebook or at: itsmybody@live.com.
Again, thank you for your willingness to support me in these endeavors.
Warm Regards,
Travis Wisdom
