The month of August is a significant one, as it is host to both Women’s Suffrage Day (8/26) and the 50th Anniversary of MLK Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech (8/28). These anniversaries remind us of the synergies between the struggles for gender and racial equality, and the intersectionality of racism and sexism – both historically and presently.

Join us and The Filthy Freedom Project founder, Bea Hinton, for a tweetchat on 8/26 (12-1p) to discuss “Shared #isms” – the intersections of racISM and sexISM and how we can collaborate to affect change for ALL.
