SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub presents: 4 Months\, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
DESCRIPTION:Join Feminist Fightback for a screening of Palme d’Or winner ‘4 Months\, 3 Weeks\, 2 Days’ (1h 53m)\, a Romanian film by Cristian Mungiu\, set during the final years of Nicolae Ceaușescu’s rule. Abortion was illegal in Romania at that time\, and the film follows friends Otilia and Găbița as they attempt to obtain an illegal abortion on the black market when Găbița becomes pregnant. ‘4 Months…’ is a minimalist\, realist portrayal of the danger pregnant people face in states which deny access to abortion. \nWhen the film was released in 2007\, abortion was still illegal in Ireland. In 2023\, we’re in a world where Roe V Wade has been overturned\, making abortion illegal in many states. The hard right around the world have put gender and reproductive justice at the centre of their discursive and policy agendas\, attacking trans healthcare\, information for young people about sexuality and ‘non-traditional’ families\, alongside abortion rights. The US Supreme Court decision was a powerful and painful reminder that our rights are not settled\, that we have to fight to keep what we have and to push for more. We have to fight if we don’t want abortion to look like scared\, vulnerable\, exploited people waiting in hotel rooms for procedures or drugs that they’re not sure are safe\, risking criminalisation in the process. \nWe’ll be hosting a discussion after the film\, which will be a great chance to find out more about the organising Feminist Fightback are doing around threats to reproductive justice in the UK. We’d love to you to join us. \nPlease note\, the film contains scenes of medical procedures and sexual exploitation. \n \nExhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. Drinks and snacks will be available. \nSuggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. \nAll genders welcome. \nDoors open at 7pm. \nACCESS: \nWaterloo Action Centre is located at 14 Baylis Road\, SE1 7A\, close to Waterloo station\, near to the Old Vic theatre. The closest tube and train station is Waterloo.  The closest bus stops are Baylis road served by the 59 and 76 and The Old Vic served by the 1\, 68\, 168\, 172\, 176\, 188\, C10. \nThe event will take place in the mezzanine hall of Waterloo Action Centre which is on the first floor and is accessible via lift. Toilets are located on the ground floor of the centre.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Reading Group: Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World by Leslie Kern - Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Join Feminist Fightback and friends for our spring reading group\, where we will discuss Leslie Kern’s book Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World. This book is smaller than our last books at 224 pages so should be an easy read. \nThe series will take place over three sessions: \n\n Tuesday 25th April – Introduction: City of Men & Chapter 1: City of Moms\n Tuesday 30th May – Chapter 2: City of Friends & Chapter 3: City of One\n Tuesday 27th June – Chapter 4: City of Protest & Chapter 5: City of Fear & City of Possibility\n\nIn Feminist City\, through history\, personal experience and popular culture Leslie Kern exposes what is hidden in plain sight: the social inequalities built into our cities\, homes\, and neighbourhoods. Kern offers an alternative vision of the feminist city. Taking on fear\, motherhood\, friendship\, activism\, and the joys and perils of being alone\, Kern maps the city from new vantage points\, laying out an intersectional feminist approach to urban histories and proposes that the city is perhaps also our best hope for shaping a new urban future. It is time to dismantle what we take for granted about cities and to ask how we can build more just\, sustainable\, and women-friendly cities together. \nPlease 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.\nfeminist.fightback@gmail.com \nThese 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.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub presents: The Janes
DESCRIPTION:This month we will be showing a documentary about events in 1970s that are once again topical. \nThe Janes is a documentary from directors Tia Lessin and Emma Pildes that tells the story of The Jane Collective\, which helped thousands of women obtain abortions in the US when they were still illegal in the late 1960s and early ‘70s. The Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision of January 1973 legalized abortion in the US and brought some relief. With its overturning a short while ago the story of their daring remains frighteningly relevant nearly 50 years later. \nThe film showing will be followed by a discussion featuring two guest speakers. \nJane Grant is a feminist activist who moved to London from the US. Attending the first Women’s  Liberation Conference in Oxford  in 1970 transformed her politics and reading Our Bodies Ourselves influenced her decision to become a midwife. \nSue O’Sullivan has been a women’s liberationist in London since the late 1960s after growing up in the USA.  She had an illegal abortion when she was 21 while living in New York State before any abortions were legal. This was a horrifying experience and led Sue to feel passionately about women’s right to accessible\, freely available abortion – now more than ever. \nFeminist Fightback Film Club will be at a new venue for this screening – Vibast Community Centre\, 167 Old Street\, London EC1V 9NH. The centre is in St Luke’s\, a three-minute walk from Old Street station. It is also served by a large number of buses\, the 55 and 243 having stops almost in front of the venue . The venue is accessible and has accessible toilets. We will screen the film with subtitles. \nDoors open at 7pm for a 7.30 start. All genders welcome. \nThis is a free screening\, with donations collected on the night. Drinks and snacks will be available.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub presents: The Modi Question- Joint film screening with Peace in India
DESCRIPTION:Join Peace in India and Feminist Fightback for a screening of the recent BBC documentary\, “The Modi Question”\, which examines the Indian Prime Minister’s role in deadly sectarian riots in 2002 and the impact of his government’s Hindu supremacist policies on India’s Muslim communities. \nPlease register via EventBrite for this screening + discussion with activists from India\, via Zoom. \nThe documentary and the Indian Government’s moves to ban it are illustrative examples of the hard right’s transnational reach\, and its authoritarianism. The documentary caused uproar in the corporate media in India\, was banned on Twitter\, and has led the Indian government to raid the BBC India offices. All this\, for bringing to international audiences what Indian journalists have known for quite some time\, but which a servile corporate media – and ‘friendly’ Western governments – have been all too eager to ignore. \nWe will be joined for a discussion via Zoom by three student activists in India who have faced incarceration for expressing dissent with the policies of the BJP government\, and experienced brutal violence perpetrated by the BJP’s student wing:\n\nAishe Ghosh\, student leader and politician from the Student Federation of India and former President of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union\nNatasha Narwal\, activist with the student feminist collective Pinjra Tod\nSafoora Zargar\, student leader and campaigner fighting for justice for atrocities committed against the Muslim community in India\n\nAll genders welcome. \nThe venue has accessible toilet facilities and a lift.

SUMMARY:International Women's Strike - 8 March 2023
DESCRIPTION:Feminist Fightback will be joining sisters and comrades on the streets this International Women’s Day. See you there! \n8TH MARCH 2023 \n\n6:30 PM @ TRAFALGAR SQUARE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Transnational Strike of all Women and Gender Non-Conforming folks take the streets to fight alongside our siblings\, to resist capitalist\, colonial and patriarchal exploitation!\n\n\n\n\nIndividualistic thinking maintains the status quo- and the conservative fascist nightmare that is unfolding in the UK demands collective resistance.\n\n\n\n\nTrans and migrant rights are under attack from the far-right and the government. The Police remain a violent institution that protects the interests of those who rape\, abuse and harrass us\, systematically.\n\n\n\n\nAround the world\, our sisters shout WOMEN LIFE FREEDOM from Kurdistan to Peru. They fight for liberation and sovereignty against violent and repressive states. We stand with them because this is our fight here too.\n\n\n\n\nWe are taking action to resist together\, and through rage and rebellious joy take up space to make our voices heard.\n\n\n\n\nWE STRIKE BECAUSE:\n\n\n1. in the UK alone 3 women are killed by men per week. We strike against femicide and to demand an end to the sexist\, homophobic\, and transphobic violence.\n2. in the past 5 years\, over 2000 police officers in the UK have been accused of sexual misconduct. We need to put an end to the silence pact that continues to protect their institutional misogyny and racism.\n3. we still get paid less than men for the same job and we overwhelmingly do the house work and care work on top of it.\n4. this government incites racist violence through its hostile environment and anti-refugee rhetoric. And we do not want the UK to continue to perpetuate imperialism.\n5. we are in full solidarity with all the UK workers who demand the government to prioritise living conditions\, and pay\, over an extortionate capitalist pursuit of profit.\n6. fossil fuel companies are making record profits\, while over 3 million households cannot afford to heat their homes.\n7. we strike with fury and love for the sisters that are no longer with us. For Brianna Ghey. For Sarah Everard. For Sarah Reed.\n8. WE STRIKE AS A WAY TO BUILD BETTER WORLDS TOGETHER.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Reading Group: Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation - Part 4
DESCRIPTION:Join Feminist Fightback and friends for our winter reading group\, where we will discuss Ruth Wilson Gilmore’s 2022 book Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation \nThis series will take place over four sessions:\nMonday 31 October – part 1: Whats is to be done?\nMonday 28 November – part 2: Race and Space\nMonday 30 January – part 3: Prisons\, Militarism\, and the Anti-State State\nMonday 27 February – part 4: Organizing for Abolition \nThe book is a new collection of writings from one of the foremost contemporary critical thinkers on racism\, geography and incarceration. Abolition Geography moves us away from explanations of mass incarceration and racist violence focused on uninterrupted histories of prejudice or the dull compulsion of neoliberal economics. Instead\, Gilmore offers a geographical grasp of how contemporary racial capitalism operates through an “anti-state state” that answers crises with the organized abandonment of people and environments deemed surplus to requirement. Gilmore escapes one-dimensional conceptions of what liberation demands\, who demands liberation\, or what indeed is to be abolished. Drawing on the lessons of grassroots organizing and internationalist imaginaries\, Abolition Geography undoes the identification of abolition with mere decarceration\, and reminds us that freedom is not a mere principle but a place. \nPlease come having read the text. However due to the length of each part we may focus our attention on specific chapters. 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.\nfeminist.fightback@gmail.com \nThese 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.

SUMMARY:The Gender Politics of the Hard Right: a workshop to educate and build resistance
DESCRIPTION:In the last year alone\, Britain has witnessed renewed attacks on abortion clinics; mobilisations against sex education in schools; Tory leaders​hip contenders competing as to who can appear more transphobic; and demonstrations against Drag Queen Story Hour. Gender is an important front in the war waged by the hard right\, from the Conservative Party to fascist groups – from the UK to Poland\, Russia to the US. Championing ‘family’ as well as ‘nation’\, these hard right movements use misogyny\, homophobia and transphobia to cohere their supporters and create moral panics which in turn help to strengthen their nationalism\, racism and xenophobia.\n\nJoin Feminist Fightback at our workshop to learn more about the gender politics of the hard right\, their global networks and how transphobia is linked to attacks on reproductive rights. We want to use this one-day workshop not just to inform ourselves\, but also to build a coalition of feminist\, queer and trans organisations that can take action to stop the rise of right-wing populism in our government\, in our schools and on our streets.\n\nSchedule for the day:\n11 AM: 10 minute Intro outlining our goals for the day \n11:10 AM-1 PM (with 10 minute break in the middle) Analysing the Gender Politics of the Hard Right \n1 PM-2 PM LUNCH (to be provided) \n2 PM-3 PM Mapping \n3 PM-4 PM Action Planning \n\n  \nThe event is free but please register here so we can estimate numbers to better organise logistics.  \nWe will be providing childcare on the day\, but please let us know when registering if you will be needing it.  \nWe will try and reimburse travel costs to those that need it to the best of our ability\, please let us know when registering the amount you are likely to need reimbursed. \nAccessibility: The event will take place in the basement of the building\, which is accessible via lift and stairs. There is an accessible toilet on the same floor. \nIf you have any further questions please contact us on: feminist.fightback@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub presents: Misbehaviour (2020)
DESCRIPTION:On the lead up to Christmas we will be showing a feel good comedy based on the true story of feminist protests against the 1970 Miss World competition’s London final.   \nThe 1970 Miss World competition took place in London\, hosted by the American comedian Bob Hope. At that time Miss World was the most-watched TV show in the world with over 100 million viewers. Arguing that beauty competitions objectify women\, the newly formed women’s liberation movement achieved overnight fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the competition. When the show resumed\, the result caused uproar: the winner was not the Swedish favourite but Miss Grenada\, the second (after Carole Crawford of Jamaica) black woman to be crowned Miss World. \nJoin us for some lighthearted viewing during the darkest time of the year. As usual we will have a discussion after the film\, and drinks and snacks will be available. \nSuggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. \nAll genders welcome.
