Black Voters Matter, the Georgia-based voting rights and community empowerment group, had an unlikely partner at a get-out-the-vote event held Tuesday in Atlanta: Me Too International, the global movement to end sexual violence.
While I’ve always thought of all quests for justice as somewhat related, I’d never considered the deep intersectional relationship between the movement for racial and political justice, and the effort to pursue justice for survivors of sexual violence.“You know, people talk about violence in communities, and they always leave this issue out.
Cliff Albright, a co-founder and the executive director of the Black Voters Matter Fund, explained later that the power dynamics and oppression present in racism are the same ones present in patriarchy.This is true. — with those at the top of it exerting control over those below them. Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil rights activist who was once raped in jail after being arrested while trying to integrate a Whites-only lunch counter, said in a 1971 speech:
