About

See Jane Do is a social change multimedia organization that empowers everyday women to be a hero in their own lives.  We redefine media for women and the power of story to create positive change.  Real Women.  Real Solutions.

In 2009, we received a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and nationally acclaimed community radio station KVMR based in Nevada City, CA to produce a series of one-hour radio magazine programs.  

The See Jane Do radio program is hosted and produced by co-founder Elisa Parker and has featured interviews with Gloria Steinem, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Geena Davis, Jody Williams, Gloria Feldt, Jennifer Newsom, Medea Benjamin, Joan Blades of Momsrising and Moveon, founders of BlogHer, Marie Wilson of the White House Project, Goldman Environmental Prize Winners, among others.

In addition to our radio show we publish a bi-weekly newspaper column “Extraordinary Jane” about everyday women who are turning their passion into action to have a positive impact on her community and/or the planet.

See Jane Do also presents the annual Passion Into Action Women’s Conference, which has featured renowned speakers such as Bioneers co-founder and president Nina Simons, best-selling author and women’s activists Gloria Feldt, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Kathy LeMay, Tiffany Dufu and former US Ambassador Linda Tarr-Whelan.
