INCITE is a coalition of radical feminists of color who are dedicated to eradicating violence against women, gender-nonconforming individuals, and trans people of color. The group advocates for dismantling the policing system, contending that the “War on Terror” exacerbates violence against women of color and women in developing countries. 14 In the statement, Incite also advocated for an “imperialist abolitionist feminism” or claiming that “in order to abolish the prison-industrial complex we are going to need to dismantle the colonial heterosexist, racial and imperial underpinnings of carcerality. We believe that this approach can expand anti-militarist and abolitionist struggles through a politics of joint struggle or coalition.” 14 The statement further called for “A return to Indigenous stewardship of the land,” “Abolishing racial capitalism,” “Abolishing heteropatriarchy,” “Abolishing the military,” “An end to imperialist war,” “Abolishing ICE,” “Abolishing the very ideas of a crime and a criminal,” “Embracing…resistance movements,” and “Building collective consciousness and social organization.” 14

Following the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel, the organization demonstrated solidarity with Palestine by distributing posters bearing the message “Feminists of color rise up, free Palestine” in both English and Spanish. 0){ let parent=divs[divs.length-1].parentNode; let footer=divs[divs.length-1]; delete divs[divs.length-1]; for (let i=2; i
