Queen Resistance is an event highlighting Black women resisting patriarchy, sexism, and capitalism in our path to collective liberation. Our panel will analyze how we can create and support Black women’s resistance to oppressive systems.

We will hear from local organizers and artists who work to dismantle police brutality, protect environmental rights and use poetry and spoken word to break down racial, gender and class barriers.
