Feminist Fightback joined around 800,000 others on

Feminist Fightback joined around 800,000 others on the streets of London yesterday to demand a ceasefire and peace in Palestine. While the government attempted to sow division, we are proud to have joined a march united in its solidarity. #freepalestine #ceasefirenow

❌Rishi, Suella, Keir and their friends do not speak for us!

🔥🔥For the third week in a row, hundreds of thousands of Londoners took to the street to express their opposition to the atrocities being perpetrated in Palestine under the complicity of the UK and many other states worldwide, and to demand an immediate ceasefire.

♥️Feminist Fightback in our solidarity against occupation, recognise that the freedom of Palestinians is intrinsic to our collective freedom against all forms of oppression. As feminists we support all liberation movements to combat injustice, oppression and overcome colonial and patriarchal systems. We remain committed to a future where all people can live with freedom, self-determination, liberation and dignity.

🇵🇸The next London demonstration in solidarity with Gaza has been called for Saturday 11th of November. In the meantime, please continue to contact your MPs and other representatives to insist the UK Government joins international calls for a ceasefire. If you use social media, amplify the voices of Palestinians writing from the Gaza Strip, as well as the many brave Israelis, Palestinians, and others, calling for a ceasefire, amid rising censorship and anti-protester violence in Israeli and Palestinian territories. #freepalestine #ceasefirenow

💜🔥The United Families and Friends Campaign (

💜🔥The United Families and Friends Campaign (@uffcampaign), is a coalition of those affected by deaths in police, prison and psychiatric custody. For over 20 years, they have worked tirelessly to support families to seek justice and hold the UK police and establishment accountable.

🏛Police brutality and the endemic racism and prejudice of the UK establishment is not unlinked to the violent suppression of Palestine. The same forces that underpin the UK’s systemic racism and extend police powers in order to squash our right to protest, also support and aid the genocide perpetrated by Israel’s violent regime. The Israeli police routinely use the tactics and weapons learnt from the oppression of Palestinians to train and advise police forces all over the world.

Feminist Fightback Filmclub, Halloween edition 🎃👻

Join us this Friday 27 October for a showing of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Nigh, directed by Ana Lily Amirpour.

This is taking place at Pelican House, 138-144 Cambridge Heath Rd, E1 5QJ. Closest station is Bethanal Green. Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start.

Set in the fictitious Iranian ghost town of Bad City, the film features a chador-wearing, skateboarding young female vampire known only as The Girl, who stalks the streets of the city at night preying on unsavory men.

The Girl, with her vampiric teeth and supernatural powers, subverts the image of the veiled woman as submissive, turning the victimhood suggested by the film’s title on its head. This girl walks alone at night with no fear; she is the one to be feared.

Exhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. Drinks and snacks will be available.

Suggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity.

All genders welcome.

Access: The film showing will take place on the ground floor of Pelican House, in the room at the back of the courtyard. The toilets are on the same same level. The space and toilets are level access from the road.

Closest stations Bethnal Green tube station and Bethnal Green overground station.

Closest bus stops Cephas Street and Three Colts Lane for the 106 and 254 buses.

Feminist Fightback, @falatinamericans and @brazilmatters comrades from the #FreedomtoLive coalition joined the protest today called by @africanrainbowfamily and @prideinlondon against the dangerous anti-LGBTQIA and anti-migrant policies and rhetoric of the Tory government.

Suela Braveman and the Tories do not speak for us. We stand in solidarity with our LGBTQIA and migrant siblings. We won’t rest until everyone is free to live how and where they want and love who they want.

Please share your reflections and experiences of abortion in the UK to be read out anonymously as part of the FreedomToLive demonstration on September 2nd.

If you are someone who has needed or could need an abortion, whether or not you can attend on September 2nd, please help by submitting a few lines on your feelings and experiences as a message here or by email to feminist.fightback@gmail.com

Testimonies we have read out at a previous demonstration against March for LIfe included the fear of what it could mean to not be able to access abortion & experiences of accessing abortion.

Join Feminist Fightback and friends for our summer

Join Feminist Fightback and friends for our summer reading group. We’ve taken the decision to replace the book we’d planned for our next reading group with ‘Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment’(2023) by Agnieszka Graff and Elżbieta Korolczuk. This book is much more aligned with our politics, particularly around trans liberation and sex work decriminalisation.

‘Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment’ charts the new phase of global struggles around gender equality and sexual democracy: the ultraconservative mobilization against "gender ideology" and feminist efforts to counteract it, as well as how opposition to "gender" has become a key element of the rise of right-wing populism. The authors map the anti-gender campaigns as a global movement and argue that the anti-gender rhetoric is best understood as a reactionary critique of neoliberalism as a socio-cultural formation.

We’re reading ‘Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment’ to build our collective understanding of attacks on gender and reproductive rights from the hard right, which is the current focus of Feminist Fightback’s activism.

Find the link to the Open Access version of this book on the event page on our website. Link in our bio.

Please come having read the text. Drop us a line if you would like more details and to let us know if you will be joining, so we have an idea of numbers at feminist.fightback@gmail.com.

These will take place in person at Golden Lane Community Centre, Golden Lane Estate, London EC1Y 0SA. The venue is fully accessible. Please arrive at 7.30 for 7.45 start; we will finish at 9.00pm. All genders welcome.
