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.
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" alongside other slogans.
