In the Winter of 2024, many scholars of colour and their White accomplices left a feminist organization that had become increasingly exclusionary and unwelcoming despite its leadership professing a commitment to intersectional feminism.

While organization leadership practised liberal White supremacy, until this point, many radical scholars of colour continued to be part of the organization because it was the only feminist organization in the field, and they felt that their presence could push much-needed reform.

However, after the events of their winter conference, many scholars realized it was time to move on as the space was not only unwelcoming but also increasingly hostile, discriminatory, and anti-intersectional.

Born out of a growing need for a space where radical, marginalized scholars could grow and support one another, the Radical Feminist Collective is a nonhierarchical organization that intends to build relationships with and include non-academic community members.

The founders of this collective engaged in freedom dreaming and envisioned everything they wanted from an organization alongside other scholar-activists who had grown increasingly disillusioned with the discipline. In this space, scholar-activists and community members/organizers work together towards radical change.
