International Feminist Organizing School
Funder Briefing

Tuesday March 30, 12 PM Eastern 

Dear Friend,

“Sisterhood, internationalism, and joint and complementary actions, from the community to global, are the basis from which we as a grassroots feminist movement, together with our allies, can move forward.”

—Quote from the deeply moving launch of the International Feminist Organizing School, named in honor of our beloved feminist organizer, Berta Cáceres.¹ ¡Berta Vive!

Did you catch the launch of the Berta Cáceres International Feminist Organizing School (IFOS)? Brilliant energy, political clarity, and fierceness were front and center at the launch!²

For many years, the World March of Women (WMW) dreamed about creating a feminist school that would strengthen our knowledge, share experiences, and expand the movement. Grassroots International has joined our partners and allies WMW, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance and the Indigenous Environmental Network to make this school a reality.

The next building block is our International Feminist Organizing School Funder Briefing on March 30! Are you ready to partner with us and move resources towards grassroots feminism? Are you curious and want to learn more? Join us for a powerful panel of feminist leaders, including a chance to get your questions answered on how to fund this movement. FYI, the event will be simultaneously interpreted in Spanish and English.

Throughout history women and gender-oppressed Black, Indigenous, and communities of color across the globe have had to fight for their safety, livelihoods, and basic human rights. They have shouldered the disproportionate burdens of a global economy that relies on the exploitation of gendered reproductive labor and our planet’s natural resources. In recent years we have seen an escalation of continued attacks on social, economic, and climate justice, particularly in regions that have experienced a rise of right-wing populism and authoritarianism.

This feminist organizing school is an incredible opportunity for feminists around the world to not only learn concepts, but also share mutual experiences across territories. We hope to see you on March 30!

In solidarity,

Chung-Wha Hong
Executive Director
