Beyond Cancel Culture

The Frontline

In this episode of The Frontline, we explore a crucial question: What happens when the righteous anger driving social justice movements turns inward, targeting our own communities?

Within the LGBTI movement, how has cancel culture influenced our work and relationships—and how can we move beyond it while staying true to our values? Sabah Choudrey’s inspiring talk at the ILGA-Europe Annual Conference in Bucharest last October unpacks this pressing question. Drawing from adrienne maree brown’s transformative book, ‘We Will Not Cancel Us: And Other Dreams of Transformational Justice’, Sabah examines the rise of cancel culture, explores compassionate alternatives to "calling out," and discusses how to address harm with accountability and care.

This episode invites you to step back from the fast pace of activism and the reactivity of social media to reflect on how we can create healthier, more supportive activist spaces.

If you’re ready to rethink justice, accountability, and the future of our movements, this episode of The Frontline is not to be missed.
