Intersectional Resistance Against Racial Discrimination
Language: English
An increasing number of organizing efforts against racial discrimination have emphasized the need for intersectional approaches to eliminating inequality. Incorporating positions, interests, and lived experiences advances goals in developing comprehensive understandings of how social systems and structures interact to create and maintain privilege and oppression. Embracing intersectionality strategies can bring coalitions together that strengthen social movements. However, these new organizing strategies also present challenges for incorporating new voices and acceptance and inclusion of local, national and international forms of white supremacy. Panelists will discuss and examine social movements and programs committed to intersectional approaches in their struggle for racial justice.
