THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen – we focus on two movement changemakers, to start off Black History Month.
FIRST … Right now – when actions are being taken remove voting rights from millions of Americans and honest discussion about race is being challenged, the new documentary FANNIE LOU HAMER’S AMERICA could not be more timely and relevant for new generations. A new and original documentary film told through the public speeches, personal interviews, and powerful songs of the fearless Mississippi sharecropper-turned-civil-rights-activist. Today we’re talking to two of the women who brought this story to life, filmmaker Joy Davenport and producer (and Fannie’s niece) Monica Land.
AND … Angela Y. Davis talks Abolition Feminism … ” Prison abolition needs Feminism, it needs anti-racist, anti-capitalist Feminism … ” –
The movement to defund the police became a rallying cry to reimagine our approach to public safety. We hear from Angela Y. Davis and other renowned scholars about how we can build a global movement to spark lasting change, dismantle oppressive systems and the shared strategies an internationalist movement needs to to abolish policing and prisons.
Featuring: Angela Y. Davis, Lorgia García Peña, Medhin Paolos, and Leti Volpp. Moderated by Makani Themba.
