From the announcement:

Whether we are juggling everyday life as a single parent or caring for relatives on a citizen's allowance, whether we are working above the breaking point in hospital or healing the wounds in our communities caused by everyday racism and the violence inflicted on our bodies and relationships - we all know: Life doesn't carry itself. We carry it. And it is precisely for this that we are devalued. We are singled out and often pitted against each other.

As different as our struggles are, there are common questions: Who keeps life going - and under what conditions? Who gets support, who doesn't? Who has whose labour, body and time at their disposal?

We know that liberation for all is only possible if we tackle the "knot of domination" of different oppressive relationships together.

Feminist socialisation therefore means attacking this gendered, racist and global division of labour - and with it the devaluation and oppression of those whose work makes life possible in the first place. We want collective care instead of family coercion, public infrastructures instead of neoliberal austerity policies, solidarity instead of right-wing division.

We want to discuss how this can be achieved at the second feminist futures conference:

We invite initiatives in the field of care policy, all those fighting against patriarchal and sexualised violence and femicide, or for queer and trans* liberation, for reproductive justice and diverse lifestyles. Join us in discussing anti-racist and internationalist perspectives in the struggles for freedom of movement and abolitionism, against war and militarisation as well as for climate justice.

How can we better connect our struggles? And what strategies does a queer-feminist and anti-racist movement need in times of authoritarian shifts? Let's share experiences, forge alliances and develop concrete steps towards a caring society based on solidarity.
