Feminist Press and Roxane Gay Present: FEMINIST CANARIES

IN-PERSON

Don't miss this bold conversation about how feminism prepared us for this political moment, even when the world refused to listen.

Join Feminist Press and Roxane Gay for FEMINIST CANARIES, a powerful conversation exploring how feminist thought and activism have equipped us to navigate today’s urgent political landscape.

While mainstream society has often ignored feminist warnings, these visionary leaders—and many before them—have long laid the groundwork for resistance, community, and liberation. Come together for an inspiring evening with some of the country's leading feminist thinkers, writers, and activists.

Led by New York Times best-selling author of Bad Feminist Roxane Gay, the conversation also includes Jenn M. Jackson, author of Black Women Taught Us; Mikki Kendall, author of Hood Feminism; and Loretta Ross, cofounder of the Reproductive Justice Movement.

Books by the authors will be available for purchase and signing after the program!
