Deana Lewis talks with Valli Kalei Kanuha, Mimi Kim and Andrea Ritchie, whose entry into the feminist of color movement spans the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s. Together, they weave a long view of the abolitionist feminist movement that crosses generations, geographic expanses from Hawaii to Minnesota to Toronto and movements including HIV AIDS, anti-imperialist/Third World feminism, anti-police violence, and trans and queer justice spaces. They discuss the importance of Critical Resistance and INCITE! which provided collective homes for radical abolitionist feminist of color organizing, joining seemingly isolated and disconnected political trajectories into a powerful force that has evolved into today’s abolitionist movement.
