International Women's Day Keynote Address

Your Rage is Your Gold: Building Love in Times of Terror

In honor of International Women's Day, this keynote will explore the radical power of love as a principle for collective transformation. Building on feminist thought, we will unpack the concept of love not as a passive force, but as a dynamic and transformative energy capable of fueling resistance, healing, and community-building. Centering the idea of commoning—the shared, collective work of nurturing care and solidarity—we will examine how our collective rage, born from histories of oppression, can be harnessed as a force for building love, strength, and resilience in the face of terror and violence. This talk will offer a vision for a world where collective care is our most powerful tool for transformation, rooted in feminist solidarity and the everyday acts of love that sustain us.
