We aim to be a revolutionary organizing force against all forms of oppression and domination. Specifically, we organize against cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, fascism, and imperialism. We aspire for a universal liberation of bodies, ways of being, relationships, and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6232ffba19bd1475bcc2c3c135306780\" style=\"color:#ff0fbf\">We aspire to forms of creation and organization that can threaten structures of normativity and control, which is only possible by organizing outside the social and moral power of the state and its institutions. We reject homonormativity, homonationalism, pink capitalism, racism, misogyny within gay circles, and all forms of co-optation of our struggles by the dominant order.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/pink-bloc.cooplecagibi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dragdefenders16mai.jpg\" alt=\"Manifestants tenant une banni\u00e8re qui lit &quot;F\u00e9ministes et Queers R\u00e9volutionnaires&quot;Fum\u00e9e rose et paraplui arc-en-ciel en arri\u00e8re-plan\" class=\"wp-image-251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dragdefenders16mai.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dragdefenders16mai-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dragdefenders16mai-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Our strategic axes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns custom-reverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/brulances2023-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"une affiche annoncant un pique nique du festival brulances dans un parc\" class=\"wp-image-252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/brulances2023-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/brulances2023-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/brulances2023-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/brulances2023.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Construction of autonomous queer political spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ff0fbf\">We believe our communities need to build autonomous spaces, independent of state powers, institutions, and private structures. These spaces (venues, festivals, assemblies, etc.) allow us to create a queer political force capable of enduring over time and gathering and supporting our communities. Therefore, the P!nk Bloc is committed to strengthening, supporting, and multiplying these spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ff0fbf\">Now an autonomous initiative, the annual queer radical festival Br\u00fblances was initially started as a P!nk Bloc project.

The P!nk Bloc plays a significant role in the fight against the rising transphobia and queerphobia. In the current context, this involves organizing counter-protests to block increasingly frequent transphobic demonstrations, as well as militant political training to prepare members of our communities for future struggles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/21oct1-1024x490.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo de la rue Fullum bloqu\u00e9e par une foule et des gens qui tiennent des banni\u00e8res.

This involves creating and distributing of journals and zines, organizing workshops, but also implication with other groups, collectives, and organizations. In queer spaces, we aim to offer an anticapitalist and revolutionary perspective on ongoing struggles. In mixed activist spaces, we provide queer discourses so that our conditions are part of the discussions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns custom-reverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Occupation of public space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ff0fbf\">We consider it necessary to occupy a visible place in the public arena. Through demonstrations, quotas, actions and speeches, we aim to make our ideals and struggles accessible to all those who can relate to them. When our communities are continually crushed and erased, it becomes essential for us to fight to exist in space, and for all those who see themselves in us to be able to join us. With this in mind, we have maintained a constant presence on the streets since our foundation, whether at our own events (notably our combative pride: RadPride) or in our many generally festive and combative contingents. It's also a way for us to ensure that there's visible queer participation in our struggles. We also occasionally choose to speak out in the media to reach an ever-growing audience. Our ultimate goal is always the creation of a strong and autonomous revolutionary queer movement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"843\" height=\"843\" src=\"https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/22avril.jpeg\" alt=\"Une foule tenant des drapeaux noirs et roses et rouge et noir\" class=\"wp-image-253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/22avril.jpeg 843w, https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/22avril-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/22avril-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/pink-bloc.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/22avril-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Qu&rsquo;est-ce que le P!nk Bloc?
