Events
Queerly Political: Activism, Feminism, Marxism and Queer Politics
Join the Greater Toronto Workers' Assembly for a 'coffee house' discussion followed by Q and A.
How can we build a united movement that respects difference and autonomy, and also advances common struggles against oppression and exploitation? What are the linkages, and tensions, between feminism and queer politics? And how can we understand women's liberation in the context of other movements against oppression?
Join us to hear Alan Sears and Johannah May Black address these and other questions.
This is the third of three-part series on anti-capitalism and feminism.
