📚 Join Feminist Fightback for our next reading group book: Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights

Sex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been contentious. Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration, work, feminism, and resistance to white supremacy, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.

The book is 288 pages long. We will discuss this book in 4 sessions:

1️⃣ Monday 9th February (56 pages):
Introduction
Chapter 1: Sex
Chapter 2: Work

2️⃣ Monday 9th March (53 pages):
Chapter 3: A Victorian Hangover: Great Britain
Chapter 4: Prison Nation: The U.S., South Africa, and Kenya

3️⃣ Monday 13th April (50 pages)

Join us this January as we start the year with a genre-bending comedy to beat the winter blues.

Sister Midnight (2024, 110mins) by Karan Kandhari is a film about a misanthropic newlywed giving into her feral impulses which lead her to unlikely situations.

Uma travels to Mumbai for a newly arranged marriage. The oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls are awkward and alone-together. Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her total lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbours and her bumbling spouse until the nocturnal world of Mumbai and its inhabitants lead her to face her own strange behaviours. And then things take a surreal turn.

🎥Join Feminist Fightback Filmclub this November to watch The Spies Who Ruined Our Lives (2024, 88min) a gripping documentary that exposes police surveillance of activists, revealing the devastating impact of undercover officers who infiltrated groups, formed intimate relationships, and betrayed trust.

👀For over 40 years, a secret organization spied on British citizens. This secret organization infiltrated over 1000 groups by creating new personas using the stolen identities of dead children. They used these new personalities to start relationships with women and once they got what they wanted, they abandoned the women and vanished without trace.

👮🏻‍♂️The women wouldn’t find out the truth until decades later. The men were in fact, undercover police officers who were infiltrating completely lawful groups.

🎬Watch the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/907825485
“The spies who ruined our lives” is a not for profit feature length documentary film, Produced, Directed and edited by Justyn Jones and Madoc Roberts with Jason Kirkpatrick as associate producer . It has been made to raise awareness and give a comprehensive and historical perspective of the Spycops scandal.

Last Sunday, Feminist Fightback, Fala and the Free

Last Sunday, Feminist Fightback, Fala and the Freedom to Live Coalition hosted a Feminist Assembly on Reproductive Justice at the Feminist Library.

The Assembly provided an open space for discussion on what reproductive justice means to us as feminists, and how our collective rights are being threatened in the current climate of increasing far right rhetoric and threats. We reflected on previous actions fighting for reproductive justice, and shared our experiences of what has worked and what hasn’t. We ended by brainstorming what’s next for the movement and how we can build momentum towards reproductive justice in the UK and in solidarity across borders

📢📢Feminist Assembly: Let’s talk about what reproductive justice means to us

After coming together in the streets for another year in September to oppose the christian fundamentalist and hard right anti-abortion movement, our coalition of feminist, queer, trans, migrant, and anti-racist activists wants to broader the discussion.

Its not just about the right to choose; its also about the right to raise a family above the poverty line, to create a family outside of the heteropatriarchal norms, for families to stay together and to chose where they live in the face of borders and racism, to provide freedom of expression and self-direction to children and young people, and so much more.

Lets move the conversation beyond the fight for abortion rights to all the other ways reproductive justice touches our lives and intersects with all our daily struggles.

Agenda:

🥣Food
✨Opening and setting the scene
Group discussions and collection reflections on:

📚 Join Feminist Fightback for our autumn reading group book: Why Would Feminists Trust the Police?: A tangled history of resistance and complicity by Leah Cowan

Leah Cowan’s book deals with the tangled history of feminism’s complicity and resistance as it traces the history of British feminism’s alliances and struggles with the law and its enforcers. Drawing on the legacy of Black British feminism, Leah Cowan reminds us of the vibrant and creative alternatives envisioned by those who have long known the truth: the police aren’t feminist, and the law does not keep women safe.

The book is 196 pages long. We will discuss this book in three sessions:

1️⃣ Monday 13th of October (58 pages):
Introduction: Why Would Feminists Trust the Police?
Chapter 1: False Histories in the Shadow of Empire

2️⃣ Monday 10th of November (68 pages):
Chapter 2: A Symphony of Order and Chaos
Chapter 3: The ‘Sectorification’ of Radical Struggle

3️⃣ Monday 8th of December (70 pages)
Chapter 4: Feminisms of Fear and Resistance in the New Millennium
Chapter 5: Defund, Abolish, Now
Please come having read the relevant chapters.

🎞Roma is an epic film that delivers a vivid, emotional portrait of a domestic worker’s journey set against domestic and political turmoil in 1970s Mexico. Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón recreates the early-1970s Mexico City of his childhood, narrating a tumultuous period in the life of a middle-class family through the experiences of Cleo, the indigenous domestic worker who keeps the household running. Charged with the care of four small children abandoned by their father, Cleo tends to the family even as her own life is shaken by personal and political upheavals.

Counter demo to March for Life happening THIS SATU

Counter demo to March for Life happening THIS SATURDAY!

💥Reproductive rights are under renewed attack from far-right anti-abortion groups in both the UK & the US. They are not isolated—they are part of a wider international reactionary movement advancing a xenophobic, racist, homophobic and ableist agenda. The same forces mobilising against abortion are also targeting trans people, queer communities, disabled people and racialised groups. Well funded organisations like March for Life channel significant resources into large scale demonstrations that promote a coercive, pro-natalist vision rooted in patriarchal control.

🔥They may have money, but we have something stronger: solidarity. We must come together to resist bad faith actors who cloak their attack on bodily autonomy and reproductive rights in religion and claims for “protecting women”. Their authoritarian views reduce our powers to live as we want, forcing us into narrow definitions of what it is to be human. We fight for reproductive justice for all —regardless of age, gender identity, sexuality, race or disability.

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼Join us on 6th September to counter the UK’s largest anti-abortion demonstration. Bring your voice, your joy, and your solidarity. All are welcome; we need every one to stand up against hatred and show that reproductive rights will not be surrendered. Together, we rise for our freedom to live, choose and resist.

In preparation for Saturday! Hope to see many of you in the streets with us!
.
The far-right is on the rise and are marching in more ways then one. Well-funded antifeminist, anti-trans, and ableist groups like March for Life are the sharp end of a fascist project to control our bodies and our lives. Their attack on abortion access is a direct attack on womens rights,queer liberation, disability justice, and racial equity.

This is a battleground. They wave crosses and false concern, but their goal is the same old hatred: to eliminate anyone who doesn’t fit their violent ideals.

This isn’t about life; it’s about enforcing a fascist purity myth.

They have billionaire backers. We have something they can’t buy unbreakable solidarity and passion for a better world.

We see their project clearly which is to strip bodily autonomy from anyone who challenges their narrow, oppressive world. They want to dictate who is worthy of choice, independence, care, and life itself.

On September 6th, we take a stand. We will meet their march of control and stand against their fascist sexist ideas when it comes to bodily autonomy. We will show them that women in general and our communities are not their scapegoats.

Join the front lines. Bring your friends and your banners. Together, we fight for reproductive justice for all! For the freedom to live, to choose, to exist without apology.

💫In the run up to the 6th of September we will be organising a series of lead up events so that we can educate ourselves on the importance of bodily autonomy and the freedom to choose as well as prepare for the day.

🔥This July in collaboration with Brazil Matters and the Feminist Assembly of Latin Americans, Feminist Fightback will be screening the Brazilian documentary Incompatible with Life.

🎥The 2023 documentary directed by Eliza Capai explores the deeply personal and universal themes of motherhood, prenatal grief, and abortion. The film begins with Capai’s own experience of terminating a pregnancy diagnosed as incompatible with life. Documenting her emotional journey, Capai uses this personal narrative as a foundation to engage with a broader community of women, capturing their struggles and coping mechanisms.

🇧🇷In Brazil, where abortion in such cases can result in up to three years of imprisonment, these women share their stories of navigating the emotional and legal complexities surrounding their pregnancies. Through intimate interviews and shared experiences, Capai creates a poignant tapestry of voices, reflecting on the pain and resilience inherent in their journeys.

💫Bodily autonomy and abortion are complex topics, and this documentary focuses on one of the many types of personal stories that can lead someone to choose abortion. Join us also for our collaborative August film screening as we explore more of those stories in the lead up to the 6th of September where once again we will be countering the forces of traditionalism and the patriarchy as they try to abolish our right to choice.

🍿Drinks and snacks will be available.

💷 This event is a fundraiser for our coalition event in support of reproductive freedom in September. Suggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity.
