Sergio González, Silky Shah, John Washington, and Angélica Cházaro speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Detention Watch Network.

Gender and the Rising Right
Rae Garringer, Andrea J. Ritchie, Sophie Lewis, Jeanelle K. Hope, and Sarah Leonard speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Lux magazine.
The far-right in the US and abroad has placed gender at the center of fascist politics, obsessing over trans rights, abortion, and the birthrate and attacking the very presence of the word gender in federal administration and universities. How does the right build its power through a focus on gender, and what is the role of gender in a resurgent left?
