Powerful International Women’s Day 2021!

March 8th, 2021

Let’s celebrate!

As we commemorate International’s Women’s Day, let’s celebrate each other – all women and femmes, especially Black, Indigenous, Trans, queer, refugee and working class women and femmes of Color and those with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses.

Your achievements are acknowledged and they are paving the way to intersectional justice.

Thank you!

In particular, we would like to thank all female-identifying women and trans rights activists, human rights defenders, community organizers, and feminist groups and organizations.

Thank you for your resilience, strength, tirelessness and continued commitment!

We shall never stop:

building transnational and community solidarity networks
fighting for intersectional justice, bodily autonomy, sexual and reproductive health and rights, equal rights and power within families, the workplace and public institutions
fighting patriarchy, capitalism, racism, gender-based violence, femicide, and all forms of intersectional discrimination.

“I will no longer except the things I cannot change, I change the things I cannot except.”
-Angela Davis

See you today at 2pm at Unter den Linden 78,. 10117 Berlin

In solidarity,
BIWOC* Rising Team 💘

INTERSECTIONAL WORK & SOCIAL CLUB

BIWOC* Rising is the first intersectional co-working space & social club in Berlin and Germany. This safer space is exclusively for women, trans, inter and non-binary people who identify as Black, indigenous or of Colour! Through training programs, empowerment workshops, and a work-desk in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, BIWOC* Rising is creating a new working culture – a working culture that transcends the white, homogenous, capitalist one that has been a core driver of gentrification and marginalization in Berlin.
