This session proposes to bring together an intergenerational assemblage of African American female internationalists to discuss how we incorporate a global perspective into our movement building work. With representation from every decade from teens to 50-somethings, participants will include Laura Parish, Jotaka Eaddy, Shani Jamila, Makani Themba Nixon and Dr. Deborah Robinson.

We will touch on an array of issues including:
 The history of Black internationalism and theories of travel
 How to use international human rights mechanisms to advance advocacy on domestic issues that affect people of color
 Youth perspectives on gender and globalization
 Health justice as it relates to the global economy and community organizing
 A critical examination of the discourse around the contemporary state of Black struggle domestically and worldwide
This discussion will incorporate a number of the USSF themes such as international solidarity, movement building, an intersectional analysis of oppression, and sustaining the ability to envision another world in our contemporary socio-political climate.

Our goal is to engage the audience in an open discussion about successful strategies on how to link social justice issues in their respective areas of work. This interactive forum will be presented in English, and we will make every effort to have translation equipment available to attendees.
