Indigenous and Women of Color Rise
Seattle — March 8th, 2019
As our world burns, injustice festers around the globe. Patriarchy, racism, and capitalism are bringing us to ruin. In the face of this brutality, we need to elevate voices from the grassroots. And not just any voices. We need radical voices that take no prisoners, that speak the truth, that rip down the fantasies of the powerful and inspire us to fight like our lives depend on it.

On March 8th, 2019 (International Women's Day), we held an event  featuring two of these powerful voices: Dominique Christina, the author of four books and the only person to EVER become a two-time world champion in slam poetry, and Cherry Smiley, warrior hero, feminist activist, scholar, and artist from the Nlaka'pamux (Thompson) and Diné (Navajo) nations.

The evening program informed, educated, empowered, inspired, and strengthened our spirit for the injustices we face: male violence, objectification, sexual exploitation, and racialization. 

The event took place at the world-famous Seattle Central Library in downtown Seattle, Washington, and was being organized by Asian Women for Equality and Fertile Ground Institute for Social and Environmental Justice.
