On May 21, 2015, over 20 cities across the United States participated in the first National Day of Action to End Police Violence Against Black Women and Girls. These actions around the country centered on ending the mass criminalization of Black people by focusing on the most marginalized within our communities. This talk will explore how a Black queer feminist lens is applied to grassroots organizing and the role of intersectionality in building social movements today.
