The second episode of the current season of "Thank You for Nothing" also focuses on feminist organizing in East Germany. We speak with Dano from the Görlitz Feminist Forum about queer feminist work in East Saxony. How has the understanding of which target groups feminist services reach developed over the years? What can we learn from them to think collectively about feminist movements? How do activists gain visibility, and what role does the Feminist Forum play in the district?
In the vision, Tabea and Jawaher report on the international women's café in Görlitz and why this service is needed.
A warm invitation to the queer-feminist educational weekend "For Care!" from August 07th to 09th in Torgau. Are you active in the fight for the recognition of care work or equality? Here Click here for more information and to register.

Interview
We are the feminist*forumWe are a collective of FLINTA.-People (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans*, and agender people). We create our own projects. We provide spaces for education and exchange on queer-feminist topics. It's important to us that we consider people's diverse lived realities. Many people experience multiple forms of discrimination simultaneously. That's why our perspective is intersectional. We are revitalizing FLINTA in Görlitz.Rie & Queer Space. This is a space for FLINTA. and queer people. The space is a safe place. Here, people meet, exchange ideas, and make connections. Together, we organize queer events, cultural activities, and educational programs. Structurally, we are affiliated with our sponsoring association. Spektrum Ost eV.
