Description
It is important for many who were recently radicalized by the #RejectFinanceBill protests to understand that we are not the first to take on the powers that have shaped Kenya into a country subservient to foreign interests. Under Moi, neoliberalism and authoritarianism stripped Kenyans of self-determination, but many movements—including the December Twelfth Movement/Mwakenya and the Release Political Prisoners Movement—fought back. In this teach-in, we are joined by organizers of these movements, plus Women Solidarity Network, to discuss movement-building, linking past and present struggles, and the role of feminist ideology and leadership in making movements resilient and successful.
