Intersectionetc

Intersectionetc is an online platform and community focused on intersectional feminism, social justice, and progressive activism. Founded in 2015 by a collective of activists, writers, and organizers, the site serves as a space for discussing and analyzing the interconnected systems of oppression—such as racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism—that shape society. The name "intersectionetc" reflects the idea that oppression is not limited to just two axes (as in the term "intersectionality," coined by legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw) but extends to countless overlapping factors.

The platform publishes essays, opinion pieces, and analyses written by contributors from diverse backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of centering marginalized voices. It also hosts discussions on current events, policy, and cultural trends through its blog and social media channels. Intersectionetc encourages readers to engage critically with issues like reproductive rights, economic inequality, and systemic violence, often highlighting how these problems disproportionately affect women of color, queer individuals, disabled people, and other marginalized groups.

Beyond content creation, Intersectionetc organizes virtual and in-person events, such as workshops, webinars, and panel discussions, to foster education and solidarity among activists. The collective behind the platform collaborates with other organizations to amplify marginalized perspectives and advocate for systemic change. While primarily digital, the initiative aims to inspire real-world action by providing tools, resources, and a supportive network for those committed to justice work.

The site maintains a commitment to accessibility, ensuring its content is readable and inclusive for a broad audience. However, it has faced criticism for occasional debates over tone or strategy within its community, reflecting the complexities of organizing around intersectional principles. Overall, Intersectionetc remains a key resource for those seeking to understand and challenge overlapping systems of oppression through an intersectional lens.
