What’s going on in Europe? A Black feminist analysis

[This webinar is part of the Black Feminist Politics Series and is available in English, French, Arabic, Spanish & Portuguese]

Fascist forces have won an unprecedented number of seats in the European parliament and are gaining ground in national elections and in shaping European policy and public discourse. Kicking off the Black Feminist Politics Series, this conversation shares a contextual analysis of the European context from a Black feminist standpoint. How does the growth of fascist campaigns affect Black women and gender-diverse people from and in Europe? Are the agendas of Black feminists being taken up by broad-based left-wing projects, parties, and coalitions? How does the rise of racist and sexist policymakers in Europe impact funding for feminist movements globally and how important is funding Black feminist collective actions when seeking solutions for undemocratic conjectures in Europe? The webinar will highlight the obstacles Black feminist movements face during this politically unstable context, their strategies, tactics, and efforts to resist, and their wins in fighting oppression.
