The feminism symbol

Black Feminist Future is a community initiative formed by members of the African American feminist community, with the aim of amplifying the power of Black women and girls in community organizing and online engagement. It is a platform for young black girls and women to voice what it is like being a black girl or woman socially and politically in the United States in 2016. The group was formed in reaction to the aftermath of a police shooting at Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.

The group's founder, Paris Hatcher, is a Black, queer feminist from Greensboro, North Carolina and was previously involved in reproductive justice and other social activism initiatives. Hatcher received her Masters of Arts degree in Africana Women’s Studies at Clark Atlanta University. She has served on the board of Southerners On New Ground, a social justice advocacy organization serving LGBTQI people in the southern United States, from 2008-2014.

Initiatives

Upon the urging of Black Feminist Future, in a number of cities across the United States, alters were laid to honor Korryn Gaines and other black women killed by police. A number of the alters used the phrase "defend black womanhood," "#sayhername," alongside other slogans.

Partnering with Red, Bike and Green, a Black urban cyclist group, Black Feminist Future have organized a "Black Freedom Bike Tour" for bike enthusiasts, organizers, land cultivators and creatives to ride through the southern states.
