Emerging out of a collaborative project between Black Women Radicals and the Asian American Feminist Collective, We Are Each Other’s Liberation: Black and Asian Feminist Solidarities offers an urgent call for the just future we might build together. Drawing out lessons from the revolutionary work of movement forebearers and bringing together organizers, artists, journalists, poets, novelists, and more, this collection envisions a cross-racial and internationalist politics.

Join us for a panel discussion with the book’s co-editors and readings from contributors in the anthology. We are excited to celebrate and be in community with you!

**We ask that all attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of the speaker and other guests. We will have a reception afterwards with light refreshments and books available for purchase.**
