Feminists On The Frontlines: What Does a Feminist Politic of Transformative Change Look Like?

From Puerto Rico to Chile to the Movement for Black Lives, intersectional feminist politics have been on the front lines of movements for change. In the past, women have been key players in social justice movements, but not necessarily feminist politics. How does this new reality change strategies for transformative justice? What has been the backlash (from femicides and homophobic and transphobic violence to attacks on reproductive justice), and why is it so important to forge intersectional feminist frameworks in efforts to change the world?

About Through The Portal Conference

This fall, from September 20-22, join us for a pivotal gathering as a thousand artists, activists, and scholars converge in Chicago to culminate the Portal Project.

This two-year, movement-driven symposium has ignited debates, dialogue, and collective envisioning on critical questions of justice, power, solidarity, and change.

Join us as we transcend the traditional boundaries of both academia and activism, hosting our convergence that connects scholar-activists with community-based and movement-focused intellectuals and artists. Speakers will discuss a range of issues, including—abolition, economic democracy, climate justice, feminism, racial justice, and the threat of authoritarianism.
