At first blush, an event in Duluth for people who consider themselves "white feminists" might not make a lot of sense.
With a relatively small percentage of people of color in the community, most feminists around here are white, right?
But the Feminist Action Collective has a few well-chosen words on the subject. "White feminism," they say, "is shorthand for mainstream feminism. And mainstream movements are made up of - and defined by - people of privilege."
And because those same "people of privilege" tend to occupy the most visible roles, they're less likely to understand their own biases.
And that is where Sunday's (May 19th) event comes in.
