In this age of the global rise of the right wing, outright misogyny is on the rise, reproductive rights are under threat, hate crimes are increasing.
If we invest in the leadership that can best confront the challenges of our time, today’s movement has the chance to make this period a historical turning point, where movements got stronger, more unified, and began to win.
GGJ’s Feminist Organizing Schools provides a space for grassroots leaders to create a shared vision for the grassroots internationalist feminist movement we hope to build. In 2016, we held our first national Feminist Organizing School bringing with 40 grassroots feminists from 17 organizations. Since then, we have grown into a movement-building institution that has trained over 600 leaders in nearly 60 countries and territories. Our political education curriculum draws from the expertise within our women of color membership in the grassroots organizing sector and from our relationship with feminist movements around the world.
Precisely because of the threats we are facing, this is a key moment to invest in the survival, success and leadership of women and gender-oppressed people of color doing cross-border, cross-sector movement building and transformative leadership development. Support grassroots feminist power building.
