Transnational Feminist Organizing to Resist Militarism & Empire The military is fundamental to maintaining and advancing empire, and
U.S. military bases connect thousands of affected communities in
diverse locations worldwide. In response, women of color-led efforts
are challenging empire and its most powerful tool, the military. This
panel highlights three communities currently on the front lines of
resisting U.S. military expansion: the proposed military build-up on
Guahan (Guam), the new U.S. base and ongoing military aid to Colombia, and the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border and immigration policy.
Speakers include LisaLinda Natividad (Guahan Coalition for Peace
and Justice), Deborah Lee and Gwyn Kirk (Bay Area-based Women for
Genuine Security), a representative from the World March of Women in
Colombia, and members of Esperanza Peace and Justice Center in San
Antonio, Texas. They will discuss how they are using feminist politics
to work across borders to resist the militarization and cultural
genocide of their own communities, as well as working in solidarity with other communities.
