#repost @jollenelevid @af3irmla —- OCTAVIA BUTLER TEACHES US WE CAN LIVE IN OUR GRANDMOTHERS’ TIME, WITH THEIR TRAUMA AND THEIR RESILIENCE. It’s been a long week full of denying survivors their full humanity, re-traumatization, and a heightened need to organize. I came back from Central California and drove straight to our @af3irmla Book Club to talk Octavia Butler and the different universes we can build 💫 My rage has a political home and we theory-build in it 💫 #OctaviaButler #AF3IRM #AF3IRMLABookClub #WomenWhoRead #FeministsWhoRead #Bookworm #bookwormsunite via Instagram

#Repost @af3irmla ・・・ Today we honor Bartolina Sisa, an Aymara woman who led an indigenous uprising against Spanish colonialism in Bolivia. She was captured and faced a cruel death by the Spanish on September 5th 1782. To honor her resilience, September 5th is commemorated as the International Day of Indigenous Women since 1983. As transnational women of color, we have histories rooted in occupation, colonization, and the invasion of our ancestral lands. We have experienced violence against the earth as inextricably linked to violence against women and children, as we are dispossessed of our homes and communities, our own bodies and the memory of our ancestral language and history. AF3IRM continues to learn and draw inspiration from indigenous resistance— and more, the indigenous communities and women on the frontlines protecting water and land has opened our eyes to the possibilities of building a more just and cosmological worldview. Thank you #BartolinaSisa and to the many other indigenous women for fighting to recover the ancestral rights of the indigenous people for our genuine liberation.

#Repost @af3irmla ・・・ AF3IRM Book Club ANNOUNCEMENT! 📚🤓💜📢 For the month of September, #AF3IRMLA members will be reading Kindred, by Octavia E. Butler. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing our thoughts and reactions on our social media. As transnational feminists, reading is an essential tool to combat white supremacy and dismantle patriarchy. It is also vital to our theory building as an organization. How does reading impact you – personally and politically? 📚 In a critical essay of Kindred, Robert Crossley says, “…what may be most powerful and valuable for readers of Kindred is the simple reminder that all that history occurred not so very long ago. […] We may also be reminded that historical progress is never a sure thing. […] In Kindred, Octavia Butler has designed her own underground railroad between past and present whose terminus is the reawakened imagination of the reader.” 📚 We’re so excited to be reading Kindred for the month of September…so much so that some of our members have already gotten a head start! 🤓📚😍Have you read Kindred before? Or will you be reading it along with us? Either way, follow the hashtag #AF3IRMBookClub to follow along and join in on the conversation…and be sure to tag us, if you do! And beware of/be mindful of spoilers, please! 🤫 📚 #Kindred #OctaviaButler #FeministBookClub #FeministBooks #PoliticalEducation #FeministUprising #ForwardToAFeministFuture #FeministsFightFascism #ThisIsWhatTransnationalFeminismLooksLike #AF3IRM via Instagram

Happy International Women's Day and International Working Women's Day! Today we salute and honor all the women warriors and feminist fighters committed to the struggle for our liberation and all the women who lives and actions make each day possible. We value the work women do - paid and unpaid, formal and informal, physical, emotional and spiritual. We continue to commit ourselves to our visions of freedom. We renew our pledge to our sisters worldwide that their fight is our fight for we know that no one is free until we are all free.

Join Af3irm San Diego as we partner with the 23rd annual San Diego Latino Film Festival to present the film No Más Bebés.

Both screenings are at AMC Fashion Valley 18. Saturday March 12, 3:30pm Saturday March 19, 3:00pm

Trailer: http://www.nomasbebesmovie.com/trailer/ “No Más Bebés,” Synopses

Dir. Renee Tajima-Peña. USA, 79 min, 2015.

In 1960s and 70s, Los Angeles, Mexican immigrant women allege they were coercively sterilized without their consent at LAC + USC Medical Center. Archival footage of the booming Chicano rights movement is juxtaposed with interviews in a long abandoned hospital. Interwoven are opinions from both sides of the landmark case Madrigal v. Quilligan. The women who brought the case to trial are represented by a young and fearless lawyer, Antonia Hernandez. Academy Award®-nominated director Renee Tajima-Peña (Who Killed Vincent Chin) saved this important case from becoming a forgotten footnote in U.S history. Latino Public Broadcasting Showcase.

The San Diego Latino Film Festival is returning for its 23rd year, Media Arts Center San Diego’s prestigious and internationally recognized festival celebrates the best films by Latinos and/or about the Latino experience. At AMC Fashion Valley 18 (7037 Friars Rd.) and Media Arts Center’s very own Digital Gym CINEMA North Park (2921 El Cajon Blvd).
