#FromNO2Love Welcome, Overview and First Plenary Roundtable – Blazing the Trails, November 1, 2019
“I want to make sure that we understand how sacred this space is and what it means 25-years later for us to really be able to own this story as a collective one, as a Black feminist one, as a radical Black feminist one, and take the lessons that we’ve learned from organizing over this time to kind of make the world better for everyone else.” – Salamishah Tillet, Ph.D.
The herstoric #FromNO2Love: Black Feminist Centered Forum on Disrupting Sexual Violence was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for over two-days, October 31 - November 1, 2019. Over 70 scholars, filmmakers, survivors and activists from across the United States, the Netherlands and France came together with forum attendees to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the making of Aishah Shahidah Simmons's groundbreaking film, NO! The Rape Documentary, and celebrate the launch of her edited anthology, Love WITH Accountability: Digging Up the Roots of Child Sexual Abuse (AK Press). Participants and attendees gathered to specifically address disrupting and ending adult and childhood sexual violence in Black and marginalized communities without relying on policing and prisons.
In the opening plenary at #FromNO2Love: Black Feminist Forum on Disrupting Sexual Violence, radical Black feminist activist-scholar trailblazers shared the herstories of their foundational work to end hetero-patriarchal and white supremacist violence committed against Black women and girls. The opening plenary was preceded by libation, welcome and an overview of the herstoric gathering held at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.
