Abolition. Feminism. Now. Opening Plenary

Join us for a live streamed session from the Socialism 2023 conference, in Chicago. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Join leading scholar-activists as they reflect on the often unrecognized genealogies of queer, anti-capitalist, internationalist, grassroots, and women-of-color-led feminist movements that have helped to define abolition and feminism in the twenty-first century, and ground our conference weekend in the theories of change generated out of vibrant community based organizing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers Angela Y.
