The theme of this year\u2019s GLBT History Month, \u201cStrategic Activism: Fighting on All Fronts,\u201d focuses on the various modes of activism, resistance, advocacy and solidarity within intersectional social justice.<\/p>\n
Recognizing that social change occurs through a multi-pronged approach, the theme highlights the various tactics that people can use to embody resistance. From education to organizing to direct action, art and policy reform, “strategic activism” strives to honor the ways in which people challenge systems and fight injustice daily.<\/p>\n
