If you are heading up any movement for social justice on American soil, your narrative is incredibly incomplete without examining that the land on which you stand is indigenous land, and unless you are a Native American person, you benefit from the genocide of indigenous people. So for the organizers of the Women's March to make the declaration that they want to be inclusive and intersectional, they really need to recognize what that entails when they're standing on indigenous land.

Journalist Sarah Sunshine Manning discusses the politics of indigenous feminism - both inside today's Women's movement, and as a longer historical force in resistance to settler colonialism and environmental destruction - and calls on social movements to recognize, respect and listen to the voices of Native American women.

Sarah wrote the article "No Indigenous Women, No Women's Movement" for Truthdig.

Writer and Bitch Media co-founder Andi Zeisler explores 50 years of tension between feminism and capitalism in popular culture, and explains how mass media has adapted and amplified the language of empowerment, but in a depoliticized form in service of selling products, and why she's hopeful that a young generation of connected girls and women can reclaim feminism's radical, libratory potential.

Andi is author of We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrrl to CoverGirl, the Buying and Selling of a Political Movement from PublicAffairs.
