Description: We aim to use our collective skills to foster a thriving feminist community in Nashville and to dismantle sexist oppressions intersectionally through advocacy, education, and action.
The Nashville Feminist Collective joins other advocates in Tennessee and nationwide urging Nashville DA Glenn Funk to drop charges against domestic violence survivor, Shantonio Hunter, who is being prosecuted for the death of her child because she was unable to control the violence of her abuser.
For more background on the criminalization of survivors through “failure to protect” laws and charges, see: “Child Abuse by Omission: How American Law Holds Mothers Responsible for Their Partners’ Crimes,” “Battered, Bereaved, and Behind Bars,” and “Why is California Keeping Kelly Savage in Prison for a Crime She Didn’t Commit?”
