In the upcoming election, "Change" has been thrown around as a bit of a buzzword among the Democrats. This “change” promises to restore hope in government and
address the neglect of citizens of the United States by the current
dictatorship. For generations, the right wing has used divide-and-conquer
tactics to impede liberation for women, people of color, trans & queer
people, immigrants, youth, poor and low-income people, and countless others.
For too long, this imposed division has prevented our movements from
recognizing the points at which we intersect. At organizing at the InterSEXtions,
we hope to focus and build upon these points of intersection – for example:
educational inequality, gentrification, legislation that diminishes both the
rights of LGBTQ people and immigrants (ie. Marriage rights and the REAL ID
act), HIV/Aids as a health, socio-economic and political epidemic, and the war on
Iraq. The SEX in interSEXtions is a commentary to copulate the issues, to
rub our activisms and identities against each other, to grind together,
to flirt with other political discourses, and to make love to the
movement!
InterSEXtions is on a
mission to create a “state” where NYC activists, students, and movement leaders
of tomorrow come together from their distinctive backgrounds, with their
diverse perspectives and skills, to investigate social injustices at the
intersection of race, class, gender, sexuality, “citizenship” and ability and
learn tools for grassroots organizing to develop a vision to further their
activism. A central tenet to this conference is to build a network and
solidarity among activists and students involved in intersectional social
change. organizing at the InterSEXtions will be invigorating, critical,
multilogical, and groundbreaking for movement building in NYC.
This conference will be held on April 19th
and 20th, and will be a part of the larger "Building the Movement
Weekend," working in solidarity with ARKestra: Arts for Advocacy and Social Change and Zami, Like Me: Queer Womyn of Color CipHER.
