Intersectional Justice

The three pillars of our work are Gender Justice, Queer Justice, and Black and Southeast Asian Liberation.  Yet it is impossible for us to disentangle these pillars from one another, because we strive to bring an intersectional lens to all of our work that understands all of these concerns as deeply interconnected.

I’m An Immigrant Fighting For Queer Rights and Racial Justice | Fundamental

Video:  In this episode of Fundamental US, “Rising Power,” we go to Madison, Wisconsin, where we meet community organizers Kabzuag and M, co-directors of Freedom Inc. What began as a sexual assault support group has grown into an organization at the forefront of battles over education reform, police brutality, land access and ownership, women’s safety and security, and mental health. Driven by their own intimate experiences of violence and poverty, M and Kabzuag have carved out a spacefor multiracial, multilingual, and multigenerational community members to disrupt a broken system, equipping Black, Hmong, and Khmer, women, queer, and gender nonconforming folks with the tools they need to confront oppression in all facets of their lives and ultimately build a roadmap toward shared liberation.
