JOIN US. On Saturday, 14 September for a daylong educational and inspirational event of speakers, poets, artists, activists to fuel us with information, strategies, solidarity and energy to ignite the movement we need right now.

Throughout the day, we will unpack what fascism is in the US and globally and what we can do to combat it. We will explore the impact on all of us from women’s bodies to anti-Blackness and the suppression of LGBTQ+ and the disabled, to the banning of books, erasing history and immigration bans, union busting, increasing violence and expansion of the police state, and the destruction of the Earth.

We come together in solidarity, the antidote to loneliness and alienation that are fundamental to fascism.

Already confirmed are Kimberlé Crenshaw, Robin Dembroff, Laura Flanders, Bill Fletcher, Alixa García, Tiokasin Ghosthorse, LaLa B Holston-Zannell, Daniel Martinez HoSang, Meena Jagannath, Guerline Jozef, Maya Penn, Lori Ro, Jason Stanley, Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, Elizabeth Yeampierre and from V-Day/One Billion Rising – Taína Asili, aja monet, and V (formerly Eve Ensler).

The event will be paired with a series that V (formerly Eve Ensler), founder of V-Day/One Billion Rising, is guest editing for The Guardian on this topic featuring Susan Abulhawa, Sophie Binet, Jimmie Briggs, Petra Costa, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Laura Flanders, Daniel Martinez HoSang, Mukul Kesavan, Pia Klemp, Gabor Maté, Luisa Rizzitelli, Monica Simpson, Jason Stanley, V, Terry Tempest Williams, and Zoya.
