Black, communities of color and queer, transgender, and gender expansive migrants are often overlooked in discussions on immigration. At this contemporary moment, how do we center Black and Asian feminist perspectives on immigration? How have U.S. immigration policies further catalyzed racial inequities and violence in our respective communities and diasporas? At the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, and citizenship, who are the most impacted by anti-immigration policies and state and quotidian violence? How can we continue to build cross-racial feminist solidarities so that Black, Asian, LGBTQ+, and disabled migrants are not left behind?
Part of the I SUPPORT BLACK WOMEN campaign created by Trinice McNally, Black Queer Feminist migrant, survivor, and activist and Virgil Abloh creative director and founder of Off-White™ and hosted in collaboration with Black Discourse - this salon interrogates Black and Asian feminist perspectives on immigration as radical interventions and strategies towards liberation.
