A Year of Transnational Feminism
2024 was a busy year for Feminists Fighting Fascism.
We held our first-ever National School of Women's Activism, convening women from around the world to learn transnational, anti-imperialist feminism and put it into practice.
We continued mobilizing and advocating for a free Palestine, including marching and organizing with the Palestinian Feminist Collective from the West Coast to the East Coast, occupying college campuses, and participating in the historic People's Conference for Palestine.
We demanded the release of William Mijango from ICE detention and got to celebrate his freedom.
We built sisterhood with women in México, Argentina, and the Philippines.
Internally, we welcomed new members, sharpened our organizing and leadership skills together during our National Leadership Institute, and celebrated the start of a new term for co-coordinators in the Hawai'i chapter.
In New York, we convened a panel discussion, Land, Body & Soul: The Intertwined Impact of Loss of Sovereignty, and held our annual vigil honoring our sisters stolen by gender-based violence and U.S. state violence across the globe.
In San Diego, we organized and made strides in our campaign to House Every Woman.
In Hawai'i, we called for an end to U.S. military land leases and violence against our Native sisters and kin. In partnership with Kamāwaelualani, we launched Hawai'i's first and only Missing, Murdered Native Hawaiian Women, Girls, and Māhū Fund.
In Boston, we connected the fight for reproductive justice in the U.S. and for Palestinian liberation for International Women's Day.
In Los Angeles, we curated an art exhibit commemorating International Women's Day, Keepers of Memory: Women of the Diaspora & Displacement. We marched for Los Angeles to officially become a sanctuary city, and won.
As an organization of im/migrant, Indigenous, and Black women; queer and non-binary women; mothers, daughters, and survivors; we face 2025 knowing that the survival of our communities and planet depend on the transnational feminist fight continuing. Together, we are stronger. We hope you will join us!
In sisterhood,
