Dear members and supporters, We launched our newest guidebook, Decolonial Popular Feminist Education, with joy and solidarity, celebrating its birth from the Facilitators School at our Berta Cáceres International Feminist Organizing School (IFOS). This book describes how we organized our first
Facilitators School to offer a decolonized curriculum, grounded in grassroots feminist principles and a Popular Education methodology. During the event, participants of our Facilitators School from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East shared what they learned and are applying in their own work, and how they plan to organize their own schools.
One of the powerful things I’ve learned is that we are not alone as women, we have rights, and we can organize to achieve a better world and bring safety to our families. We live in a state where our most vulnerable communities are being attacked, unfortunately, by our governor here in
Florida. I have to talk with other women, with domestic workers, who have been victims of domestic violence, who have left their countries looking for a better future, and who get here and find these laws that go against immigrants. I have learned and taken strength from seeing so many other women who are so courageous and powerful, and I’ve been able to bring some of that courage into the work that I do. —Sonia Moreno, IFOS Facilitators School participant, Florida Immigrant Coalition
