Finding Intersectionality Together

Finding Intersectionality Together Let's explore embrace and engage in understanding ("finding") intersectionality together!!

Finding Intersectionality Together (FIT) is devoted to helping each other “Find our Intersectionality”. Intersectionality describes how biological, social, cultural categories, and other axes of identity interact/intersect simultaneously on various levels that contribute to systemic injustice and social inequality. We as an organization are dedicated to internalizing our understanding of intersect

ionality in terms of how the various social structures and identities relate to us. Finding Intersectionality Together will be holding workshops--on campus--on broad yet relatable topics such as: Class, Education, and over-all Identity. This process can be daunting and as a result, our purpose must include the incorporation of events that are entertaining, facilitate team-building and encourage engagement within the community. In conclusion: Finding Intersectionality Together plans to hold workshops on campus that deal with various dimensions of intersectionality, hold entertaining events that are team-building and revitalizing for the club member, and hold events that tie our organization to the community-at-large.

"The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself. To take on the historically feminized and therefore invisible practice of nursing, nurturing, caring. To take seriously each other’s vulnerability and fragility and precarity, and to support it, honor it, empower it. To protect each other, to enact and practice community. A radical kinship, an interdependent sociality, a politics of care."
