ABSTRACT

This chapter examines how the activists mobilise and organise around three kinds of politics: the politics of social justice, the politics of survival and the politics of revolutionary love. It shows how the activists work for the creation of social justice, through a critique of racism, class-based inequalities, sexism, hetero- and cis-normativity, as well as develop initiatives that aim for social change. It also examines the politics of survival as a form of resistance, self-care and healing that is necessary in the violent environment of white hegemony, structural racism and political hostility. The chapter investigates how the activists seek to develop a politics of revolutionary love, addressing new ways of living together and building affectionate relations through activism. The chapter further analyses the tactics and strategies of the activists, ranging from separatism to inclusion, and their thoughts on coalition building with other social movements.
