As words are being banned and websites scrubbed, NewMexicoWomen.Org remains committed to our values of gender justice and healing. Inspired by the words of Audre Lorde, we will “use our strength in service of our vision,” keeping our focus on the long game of change. Decades of scholarship, organizing and activism cannot be eliminated by the stroke of a pen. For generations, women and women of color scholars, queer, trans, and immigrant scholars have contributed significantly to culture change; shifting narratives and influencing policies.
The profound academic contributions of Black feminists, particularly, have broadened collective understanding and shaped public discourse around issues such as community safety, reproductive rights, anti-criminalization, and restorative justice, to name a few. No Executive Order can erase the indelible marks that Black feminists have made on the social imagination and cultural fabric world wide. Their intellectual heft and strategic insight have been and remain an animating force in our movements for gender, reproductive, and healing justice. Join NMW.O this Black History Month as we celebrate and wholeheartedly honor Black feminist voices, visions, and futures.
