Interrupting Patterns of White Feminism. 
| ||
In this movement moment when millions of white cis-women* are becoming mobilized and radicalized in opposition to Trump, how can we push the movement to organize beyond white middle class cis-women issues and towards racial justice? What common and historical patterns of white feminism should we make conscious and disrupt -- now and for the long haul?
*'Cis' describes people who identify with the gender matching the sex they are assigned at birth. For example, someone labeled female and assigned a 'female' marker on a birth certificate, who identifies as a woman. 'Trans' describes people whose gender does not match with the sex they were assigned at birth. For more info, click here.
