Patriarchy in Activist Spaces II

ONE YEAR LATER – the conversation continues:

Patriarchy in Activist Spaces II
As we continue to grow from moments to movements: anti-imperial, anti-capitalist movements do not necessarily mean the politics of the participants are anti-sexist and anti-racist. How do we comfort each other and check each other in a community of activists united to bring down structures of capitalism, imperialism and colonization? How do we as women educate each other and support movements that may hinder our energy and collective power if there are perpetrators of the same oppression organizing together?

Join us as we facilitate a circle discussion where we address these questions and more!

***Allies are welcomed, but we encourage women of color, queer people, gender non-conforming people, and trans* people to join us!!!***

WHEN: Saturday, December 6th from 2-5pm
WHERE: The Ya-Ya Network

Here’s some background information on the summit:

“A program of The Black Girl Project, the Sisterhood Summit began in 2011 as a way give young women and girls from across Brooklyn, the opportunity to come together in a nurturing atmosphere to explore issues that are important to them.

You can find the theme for the 2014 Summit over here!

The Summit is also an opportunity for peers to interact with one another in ways which are not normally afforded to them—a space where they can question, interrogate and explore ideals that they may not be exposed to in everyday life.

It’s also a space where they can network, receive pertinent information, and build critical and analytical skills.

In keeping with our mission, the summit is a space that helps inspire dialogue and empower attendees.”
