Intersectionality
We are actively committed to struggling against racial, sexual, heterosexual, and class oppression and see as our particular task the development of integrated analysis and practice based upon the fact that the major systems of oppression are interlocking.

I think it's important to to prevent the term 'intersectionality' from erasing essential histories of activism. There were those of us who by virtue of our experience, no so much by virtue of academic analyses, recognized that we had to figure out a way to bring these issues together. They weren't as separate in our bodies, but also they are not separate in terms of struggles.

I've had enough
Im sick of seeing and touching
Both sides of things
Sick of being the damn bridge for everybody
Then
I've got to explain myself
To everybody
I will not be the bridge to your womanhood
Your manhood
Your human-ness

"Both anti-gang activity and the Chicana feminist development of intersectionality came from working with communities trying to find solutions to their social problems when no other methods were effective"
