DESCRIPTION:Join Feminist Fightback this March for a screening of  I am not a witch (2017\, 93min) by Zambian filmmaker Rungano Nyoni. \nExploring Zambia’s little-known culture of “witch camps\,” the film masterfully combines comedy\, tragedy\, and mesmerizing visuals.

The toilets are on the same same level. The space and toilets are level access from the road. \nClosest stations: Bethnal Green and Whitechapel \nClosest bus stops: Cephas Street and Three Colts Lane for the 106 and 254 buses. \nNote: The Pelican House event space can get chilly so we recommend dressing up warm if the weather is cold.

SUMMARY:Feminist Grassroots Organising: Building Local and International Capacity and Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:Hard-right populism\, here and abroad\, is on the rise – alongside attacks against migrants\, the LGBTQ+ community (especially our trans siblings)\, the disabled and vulnerable\, and the working class.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback reading group: Pirate Care: Acts Against the Criminalization of Solidarity Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Join Feminist Fightback for our summer reading group book: Pirate Care: Acts Against the Criminalization of Solidarity by Valeria Graziano\, Marcell Mars and Tomislav Medak. \nIn many places around the world\, the freedom to simply care for one another is being attacked by the powerful\, and acts of solidarity are being made illegal. In a moment of struggle defined by the rollback of the social safety net\, the criminalization of migration\, and the right-wing clampdown on bodily autonomy\, radical networks of care are fighting back. From volunteer rescue boats in the Mediterranean to underground labs preparing gender-affirming hormones\, people are reclaiming the means to care for one another in defiance of a system that devalues and exploits the labor of care. Against atomized despair\, Pirate Care shows that fighting back isn’t only about legal and legislative changes but also about organizing\, direct action\, and disobedient care. \nThe book is 176 pages long. We will discuss this book in three sessions: \nMonday 12th of May (60 pages): \n\nOuverture: For a global mutiny\nChapter 1: Breaking their laws to repair our worlds\n\nMonday 9th of June (40 pages): \n\nChapter 2: Care-hacking against the techno-health armada\nChapter 3: Pirating imperial property\n\nMonday 14th of July (48 pages) \n\nChapter 4: Learning together under fire\nChapter 5: Organising mutiny to mutualise care\nConclusion: Swearing an oath\n\nPlease come having read the relevant chapters. \nWe have agreed a 20% discount at Housman’s bookshop for this book for members of our reading group. Please email feminist.fightback@gmail.com for more details. \nThe sessions will take place at the Sir Ralph Perring Centre\, Golden Lane Estate\, EC1Y 0SA. This is in Golden Lane Estate by the swimming pool and tennis court. \nThe venue is fully accessible. Please arrive at 7.00 for 7.15 start; we will finish at 8.30pm. All genders welcome.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub: Shoplifters
DESCRIPTION:Join Feminist Fightback for our May film screening. \nWe will be showing Shoplifters\, a 2018 Japanese award winning film written and directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda.  Shoplifters is a study of family trauma and the fear of poverty. \nOn the margins of Tokyo\, a family is united by fierce loyalty and a penchant for petty theft. One day the father and son meet an abandoned little girl\, and\, despite their poverty\, the family takes her in. But an incident will expose their secrets that upend their tenuous\, below-the-radar existence. \nA film about chosen family and different mechanisms of care where the state has failed\, this film builds on the theme of care Feminist Fightback is tackling alongside our summer reading group on Pirate Care. By interrogating alternative networks of care as represented in Shoplifters and Pirate Care\, we hope to spark conversations and actions that demand freedom to live for all and the proper recognition of care work. \nExhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. \nDrinks and snacks will be available. \nSuggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. \nAll genders welcome. \nDoors open at 7pm. \nACCESS:  \nThe 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. \nClosest stations Bethnal Green tube station and Bethnal Green overground station. \nClosest bus stops Cephas Street and Three Colts Lane for the 106 and 254 buses.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub: Incompatible with Life
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nIn 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. \nBodily 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. \nExhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. \nDrinks and snacks will be available. \nSuggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. This is a fundraiser event: all earnings will go towards the expenses of our coalition action in support of reproductive freedom in September. \nAll genders welcome. \nDoors open at 7pm. \nACCESS:  \nThe 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. \nClosest stations Bethnal Green tube station and Bethnal Green overground station. \nClosest bus stops Cephas Street and Three Colts Lane for the 106 and 254 buses.

SUMMARY:Keep your laws off our bodies: Global Struggles for Bodily Autonomy
DESCRIPTION:Lets learn together about fighting for reproductive justice and bodily autonomy against rising fascism and the far right. \nAt this panel event our speakers and discussion will be on bodily autonomy and reproductive justice in a time of rising fascism and far right ideology and activity. \nTrans Kids Deserve Better\, Feminist Fightback\, SKB Socialist Women’s Union\, FALA (Feminist Assembly of Latin Americans) and Partia Razem will share their experiences of organising in this context. We hope that perspectives from struggles around the world including trans\, feminist and queer perspectives can help us to learn together about how to fight against the rising tide of fascism and the far right. \nThe event will take place 1pm-3pm at GIK-DER/Refugee Workers Cultural Association\, Wedge House\, White Hart Lane\, London\, N17 8HJ and will be chaired by a member of Young Struggle. \nThis is a lead up event to the counter demo against March for Life\, far right Christian group ostensibly campaigning for an end to abortion\, and also pushing anti-queer\, anti-trans and anti-migrant ideology and likely joined on the day as previously by fascists and ‘alt-right’ streamers. \nThe counter demo and panel event is being organised by a coalition of left and feminist groups including Feminist Fightback\, Anti-Capitalist Resistance\, Hackney Anarchists\, Young Struggle\, Feminist Assembly of Latin Americans\, Brazil Matters\, SKB Socialist Women’s Group\, RS21 and The Feminist Library.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub & Cine Brazil: Verde-Esperanza
DESCRIPTION:This August in Brazil Matters\, the Feminist Assembly of Latin Americans\, Feminist Fightback and Cine Brazil will be continuing our collaboration to screen two more documentaries centering abortion and people’s experiences of them. \nWe will be showing two films: Verde-Esperanza and Ours to Tell. \nVerde-Esperanza: legal abortion in Latin America (2023\, 43min) directed by Maria Lutterbach draws on the experiences of Argentina\, Colombia and Brazil to outline the struggles for legal abortion in Latin America. \nWith interviews\, data and context\, the documentary shows the current situation in each country: Brazil\, which is fighting to guarantee access to legal abortion in three cases and to prevent any setbacks in legislation; Argentina\, which decriminalized abortion in 2020\, with abortion services already being carried out in the country without any constraints for women; and Colombia\, which\, in February 2022\, decriminalized termination of pregnancy up to 24 weeks. The three experiences indicate paths and strategies for defending the rights of women and pregnant people. \nOurs to Tell (2020\, 17min) directed by Rayka Zehtabchi for Planned Parenthood and We Testify is the story of four people in the US who live full and empowered lives because they had the freedom to access abortion. \nThrough the real stories of people\, the film spotlights what it means to have control over one’s own bodies and thus the power to decide one’s own future.  A departure from the way abortion is often portrayed\, the film centers on voices that are rarely heard — including Black\, Latinx\, and transgender storytellers. \nBodily autonomy and abortion are complex topics\, and these documentary screenings follow our collaborative July screening were we explored 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. \nExhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. \nSuggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. This is a fundraiser event: all earnings will go towards the expenses of our coalition action in support of reproductive freedom in September. \nAll genders welcome. \nDoors open at 6.30pm and screening starts at 7pm. \nACCESS:  \nFarr’s Pub is on Dalston Lane\, only  50 metres from Dalston Junction train station and Kingsland Road. \nThe event is in the Basement event space which means it is only accessible via stairs. There is a bathroom on the same level as the event space.

SUMMARY:Keep your laws off our bodies: Free\, safe\, legal abortion now!
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThey 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. \nJoin 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. \n\nAnti Capitalist Resistance\nBrazil Matters\nFeminist Assembly of Latin Americans\nFeminist Fightback\nHackney Anarchists\nRazem\nRS21\nSocialist Women’s Union (Sosyalist Kadınlar Birliği – SKB)\nYoung Struggle\n\nIn 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. \nFriday 25th of July 7pm – Film screening of Incompatible with Life at Pelican House \nSunday 17th of August 1pm – Panel talk: Global Struggles for Bodily Autonomy at GIK DER \nThursday 28th of August 6.30pm – Film screening of Esperanza Verde at Farr’s pub \nSaturday 30th of August 1pm – Banner and placard making \n

DESCRIPTION: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. \n​For over 40 years\, a secret organization spied on British citizens. This secret organization infiltrated over 1000 groups they wanted to spy on. ​To achieve this\, they created new personas by stealing the identities of dead children. They used these new personalities to start relationships with women. They also used their new identities to have sex with women and in some cases\, they even had children. Then once they had what they wanted\, they abandoned the women and vanished without trace. \n​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.​ \nWhen their activities were exposed\, rather than taking immedate action\, the government ordered an inquiry\, which was to be held in secret\, and the identities of 140 undercover spies were hidden. \n\n\nWatch the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/907825485\n\n\n\n\n\n“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.  \n  \n\n\n\nExhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. \nDrinks and snacks will be available. \nSuggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. \nAll genders welcome. \nDoors open at 7pm. \nACCESS:  \nThe film showing will take place on the ground floor of Pelican House\, in the room at the back of the courtyard.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback reading group: Why would feminists trust the police? - Part 3
DESCRIPTION: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 \nLeah 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.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub presents: Sister Midnight
DESCRIPTION:Join us this January as we start the year with a genre-bending comedy to beat the winter blues. \nSister Midnight (2024\, 110mins) by Karan Kandhari is a film about a misanthropic newlywed giving into her feral impulses which lead her to unlikely situations. \nUma 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. \nWatch the trailer here. \nExhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. \nDrinks and snacks will be available. \nSuggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. \nAll genders welcome. \nDoors open at 7pm. \nACCESS: \nThe film showing will take place in the common room of the Pelican House.
