THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine :: First … cohosts Cherise and Lynn talk about last Tuesday’s shooting in Atlanta where eight people were tragically killed, six of them Asian women. And how it has further exposed the toxic soup of white supremacy and misogyny. Plus, just how outrageous it is that 172 Republicans voted to oppose Violence Against Women Act – just two days after the Atlanta spa shootings
Then … Lynn talks to Professor Yi-Chun Tricia Lin about the history of Asian discrimination in the US. And, AAPI community response to the shootings in Atlanta.
And … More Women’s History Month coverage in a segment from our sister program – Women’s Magazine at KPFA. Lisa Dettmer gets some fascinating herstory from two American scholars, Professors Eileen Boris and Premilla Nadasen, about the socialist and worker roots of International Women’s Day. And what that can look like now – in this time of mutual aid and community grassroots support, and organizing outside of unions. Plus views about current Women’s Day organizing from Lulú V Barrera, a feminist activist and human rights defender based in Mexico City.
