Fam,
Earlier this year, during Black Feminisms Month, we partnered with Black Feminist Future; survivor, cultural worker, and dharma practitioner Aisaha Shahidah Simmons; and #MeToo. Together, we discussed how Black feminist traditions are foundational to our social movements and revolutionary spirit, to inclusive policies, and to a true democracy. From defunding the police, to significantly reducing climate change, to ending the scourge of sexual violence, Black feminisms provide tools we can use to confront and interrupt power.
M4BL aspires to a Black queer feminist framework—organizing in communities nationwide to not only abolish state-sanctioned and patriarchal violence, but to guarantee our movements are intersectional, inclusive, and rooted in “Black feminist and LGTBQ traditions and knowledge, through which people and groups see to bring their full selves into the process of dismantling systems.” (Charlene Carruthers, Unapologetic: A Black, Queer, and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements)
So, we’re very excited to support Jubilee: A Black Feminist Homecoming, a free virtual event happening this Saturday, August 28, at 7:00 pm EST. The event celebrates the legacy, power, and possibilities of Black feminisms.
Hosted by Amber Ruffin and presented by Black Feminist Future, Jubilee features an incredible lineup that includes Evelyn from the Internets, as well as visionary Black feminist leaders such as Barbara Smith, Raquel Willis, and more. It will also pay homage to the Black feminists who came before us, including Sojourner Truth, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Audre Lorde.
Black feminisms provide a blueprint for everyone’s liberation. In our journey toward freedom, it is essential that folks across the spectrum of Black identities understand that the fight for a Black feminist future is a fight for their future, as well. Jubilee is going to be the largest virtual Black feminist gathering ever, so you won’t want to miss it.
