This March join us as we show a film that raises more questions than answers. We will be screening the Greek documentary theatrical ‘Babybird Babybird’ (2021, 1h30) by Dimitris Bampilis and the APARÄMILLON creative team, that was commissioned and produced by Onassis Stegi.

Why we do (not) have children? Parents-to-be, a new mother, a midwife, a demographer, a sociologist, a neuroscientist, and an anti-natalist YouTuber share their respective opinions on the sexiest ontological question, and take part in a documentary theater performance about the complicated relationship between our sexual life and our reproductive potential.

They explore concepts and issues that include ‘low birth rate,’ ‘overpopulation,’ motherhood as a conscious personal choice, pregnancy termination, prenatal checks, national healthcare policy, sperm banks, and dating apps. Using interviews and statistics, personal testimonies and scientific studies, discretion and humor, they intervene into the debate regarding birthrate and parenthood, a recurring debate since moral panic and rhetoric on the dangers of “corrupting the nation” tend to dominate it.

Content warning: this film shows graphic scenes of birth

After the screeening we will have a Q&A with the team behind the production.

Exhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged.

Drinks and snacks will be available.

📚 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 (59 pages):
* Chapter 3: Borders
* Chapter 4: A Victorian Hangover: Great Britain

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, the Feminist Asse

Last Sunday, Feminist Fightback, the Feminist Assembly of Latin Americans (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:
❤️‍🔥Reproductive justice and what it means to us
🤔Strategies, learning from past movements
🪧Building forward and next steps

📚 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.

📍The event will be at Vibast Community Centre, 267 Old Street, London EC1V 9NH.
It is about 3 minutes walking from Old Street station, or the 55 and 243 buses stop just in front of the Centre. The venue is accessible and has accessible toilets.

🎞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.

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.
