In this episode, Scot and Sue sit down with Suzanne Pharr, a Southern queer feminist and anti-racist organizer, strategist, writer, community organizer, and educator. Over her decades of work, she has contributed to the advancement of many social justice movements and worked on historic campaigns against authoritarian attempts to exploit popular prejudice for political and financial gain. With much wisdom and experience, Suzanne paints a clear picture of how we have arrived at this political moment with authoritarians infiltrating our governments and communities, and the direction the pro-democracy movement needs to move.
Suzanne Pharr is the founder of Women’s Project in Arkansas, the former director of the Highlander Center, and founding member of the Southern Movement Assembly. She is the author of Homophobia: A Weapon of Sexism, one of the ground-breaking books of second-wave feminism; In the Time of the Right: Reflections on Liberation; and Transformation: Toward a People’s Democracy.
