Stories from the Frontlines: Strategies and Struggles across Movement-Based Organizing

March 13 @ 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM EDT

Three decades since the historic Beijing World Conference on Women, what are the pressing lessons for this political moment from front-line and community organizers?

The Institute on Gender, Law, and Transformative Peace at the City University of New York (CUNY) will host a CSW side event on key strategies, tensions, and achievements of intersecting front-line justice movements from those most impacted.

Co-sponsored with the Nobel Women’s Initiative and MADRE, Stories from the Frontlines: Strategies and Struggles Across Movement-Based Organizing will feature a public panel elevating first-hand experiences and human-centric stories that too often are discounted on the world stage — yet are critical for these times. This dynamic discussion will feature movement leaders, policymakers, and advocates exploring strategies at the intersections of pro-democracy movements, climate, and racial and gender justice.

Panelists:

  • Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee, Executive Director, Institute on Gender, Law, and Transformative Peace
  • Guerline M. Jozef, Founder and Executive Director, Haitian Bridge Alliance
  • Cathy Albisa, Vice President of Institutional and Sectoral Change, Race Forward
  • Cindy Kobei, Chair and Founder, Tirap Youth Trust
  • Aya Chebbi (moderator)Founder and President, Nala Feminist Collective
This in-person CSW side event will be held on March 13, 2025 at 10:30 am ET at the Church Center of the United Nations, 10th Floor (777 United Nations Plaza, NY, NY 10017). Please register below to attend. Questions can be directed to IGLTP@law.cuny.edu.
