#3 Feminist Politics and Putting Care at the Centre

How can we make care, cooperation and life without sexism more than a distant horizon? How can we construct and nurture feminist foundations which substantiate our movements from the ground up? How can we shift our political movements towards these directions, away from patriarchal practices and power structures? How do we move from feminist theory to feminist practice?

These questions are seminal within the municipalist journey, and navigating these challenges goes to the core of the European Municipalist Network (EMN)’s aims. Finding answers to these systemic issues is the focus for the Feministisation of Politics (FoP) – a bedrock of the EMN project. As part of this journey, the FoP working group organised EMN’s third online skill-share session in Spring 2023. The other topics were: building a democratic local economy; the power of storytelling and political education; and hacking the law to reclaim public space and re-socialise housing.
