THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen: FIRST … Law Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw defined the concept of intersectionality 30 years ago. She developed that framework to understand how identities including race, gender and class intersect in overlapping systems of oppression and discrimination — resulting in compounded damage.
Now, amidst COVID-19’s disparate impact, police murders and brutality against Black people and the uprising against white supremacy, Crenshaw raises her voice as a Black feminist and legal scholar. She discusses how intersectionality can be a vital tool for understanding, and transforming power imbalances.
In conversation via Haymarket Books, the African American Policy Forum, and Mitch Jeserich on Pacifica’s Letters and Politics.
AND … Making Contact looks at transgender activism and the call for inclusion and intersectionality in the movement for Black lives. We’ll also meet Trans activists in Louisiana who have been organizing against a state law that has been used to unfairly target trans women for decades.
Featuring Sean “Saifa” Wall, intersex activist based in Atlanta, Georgia, co-founder of the Intersex Justice Project. Blossom C. Brown, trans activist based in Los Angeles, California. Kae Goode, an activist and Black trans woman based in Atlanta, Georgia. Wendi Cooper, program coordinator of the community advocacy group Operation Restoration. Kenisha Harris, Follow The Light Advocacy and LGBTQ Resource Center.
