"Revolution Through Trial and Error: Women of Color Organizing Against Violence"
This talk will examine some of the emerging trends in anti-violence
organizing among women of color and indigenous women. These organizing
models target state violence as well as interpersonal domestic and
sexual violence using a process of "revolution through trial and
error." This presentation will examine some of the possibilities as
well as the limitations of these models that seek to build a
violence-free society.
