What do movements need now? Resourcing Feminist Resistance in a Time of Contraction. Join us for a session exploring movement-defined priorities and feminist principles for resourcing, recognizing that movements have long sustained their work amid scarcity, now intensified by rising authoritarianism and donor retreat. Centering alternative and autonomous strategies, we will examine what different actors can meaningfully contribute—and how—identifying practical approaches beyond transactional funding toward sustainable, movement-led ecosystems. Moderated by Diana Duarte, MADRE Senior Director of Advocacy & Policy. Speakers: Diana Medina González, Deputy Director, Fondo Semillas Deya Bhattacharya, Movements Engagement Lead, Resourcing Feminist Movements Initiative, AWID Sunshine Fionah Komusana, Feminist Lawyer and Activist, Feminist “Church” Date: Wednesday, 29 April 2026 Time: 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Room: 204
