The Women's Convention

The conference at Detroit's Cobo Center, aims to take on social injustice, upholding the feminist nonviolent resistance principles of the Women's March, which is organizing the event.The theme is "Reclaiming Our Time," a spin on the words of U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who will speak at the convention."Women hold intersecting identities and are impacted by multiple issues at once; all issues are women’s issues. More than ever, we must learn not only about the individual problems of sexism, racism, classism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia — we must understand how they intersect," the Women's March posted on its convention website.
