WCC Collective Liberation Series - Pinkwashing 101: A Teach-In with Mama Ganuush

Want to understand how LGBTQ+ visibility is used to obscure oppression and injustice?

Join the Stanford Women's Community Center for the first event of our Collective Liberation Series:

Pinkwashing 101: A Teach-In with Mama Ganuush, a trans Palestinian performance artist, drag queer, filmmaker, and organizer, in a facilitated discussion on combating pinkwashing.

This teach-in will unpack the concept of pinkwashing, how corporations and states deploy LGBTQ+ rights language to appear progressive while masking harmful policies and human rights abuses. 

In this interactive teach-in, we will:
1. Explore the origins and history of pinkwashing
2. Examine real-world examples across corporate branding and state politics
3. Center queer, trans, and Palestinian perspectives often erased from mainstream narratives
4. Build shared language to critically engage in collective liberation 

Whether you’re involved in organizing, curious about queer politics, or looking to deepen your analysis of power and representation, this teach-in offers information and tools you can carry into your communities.

RSVP? Here! *Food available while supplies last* See you there, Thursday, February 12th, at 6:30 pm!

Co-sponsors: Stanford's Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity, Stanford's Program in Feminist Gender, and Sexuality Studies,  the Institute for Diversity in the Arts, Queer Student Resources
