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.
- Angela Y. Davis
Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement
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
- Kate Rushin,
The Bridge Poem
"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"
- Aida Hurtado, Gloria Anzaldúa’s Seven Stages of Conocimiento in Redefining Latino Masculinity: José’s Story
