Workshop: C111 Inclusive activist spaces

Fighting oppression as social movements

Social movement platforms usually describe what kind of world they are working toward. Feminism, anti-racism and other emancipatory struggles are often listed alongside anti-capitalism.

A world free from oppression is our common goal. However, even well-intentioned activists are people who were born and raised in an environment where oppression is the norm. Social movements therefore tend to reproduce the same kind of oppression they are fighting against. This does not have to be disastrous. Anyone can be trained to recognise oppression where and when it occurs in activist spaces, and every organisation can use tools to prevent oppression and ensure that inappropriate behaviour is not tolerated when it does occur. This workshop aims to share some basic principles and tools against oppression.
