About this Event

In this moment of repression against women and LGBTQ people by Trump and the billionaire class, join us for the Midwest Women's Socialist Conference to learn about the remarkable women and LGBTQ individuals who have always been on the front lines in the fight for liberation. This conference will be an all-day educational event, where participants will have the choice between a variety of workshop topics, such as women in the labor struggle, immigration, the global struggle against imperialism, trans liberation, the black feminist struggle, violence against women and LGBTQ people, and healthcare, reproductive rights, and trans bodily autonomy. We will be joined by 2024 vice presidential candidate Karina Garcia as our keynote speaker.

While so many sectors of our working-class communities are under attack, this event will provide a forum for attendees from all across the midwest to come together and discuss how to best unite our communities in the struggle for a new system that guarantees liberation, dignity and self determination for all. This conference will provide a militant and working class alternative to the womens and LGBTQ movement that has often been co-opted by the Democrats and the entire capitalist, imperialist class. We will develop together a political analysis of how we ended up here, show how the entire capitalist system is to blame, image a future world worth living in, and, most importantly, begin planning how to fight for that world.

In the words of Assata Shakur, “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains!”

En este momento de represión contra las mujeres y la gente LGBTQ por Trump y la clase multimillonaria, únete a nosotros en la Conferencia Socialista de Mujeres del Medio Oeste para aprender sobre las mujeres y las personas LGBTQ extraordinarias que siempre han estado en las primeras líneas de la lucha por la liberación. Esta conferencia será un evento educativo de un día completo, donde los participantes tendrán la opción de elegir entre una variedad de temas de talleres, como las mujeres en la lucha laboral, la inmigración, la lucha global contra el imperialismo, la liberación trans, la lucha feminista negra, la violencia contra las mujeres y las personas LGBTQ, y la atención médica, los derechos reproductivos y la autonomía corporal trans. Nos acompañará la candidata a la vicepresidencia de 2024, Karina García, como nuestra oradora principal.
Mientras tantos sectores de nuestras comunidades de clase trabajadora están bajo ataque, este evento brindará un foro para que los asistentes de todo el medio oeste se reúnan y discutan cómo unir mejor a nuestras comunidades en la lucha por un nuevo sistema que garantice la liberación, la dignidad y la autodeterminación para todos. Esta conferencia ofrecerá una alternativa militante y de clase trabajadora al movimiento de mujeres y las personas LGBTQ que a menudo ha sido cooptado por los demócratas y toda la clase capitalista e imperialista. Desarrollaremos juntos un análisis político de cómo terminamos aquí, mostraremos cómo todo el sistema capitalista es el culpable, imaginaremos un mundo futuro en el que valga la pena vivir y, lo más importante, comenzaremos a planificar cómo luchar por ese mundo.
En las palabras de Assata Shakur: “Es nuestro deber luchar por nuestra libertad. Es nuestro deber ganar. Debemos amarnos y apoyarnos el uno a los otros. No tenemos nada que perder excepto nuestras cadenas!"
