\u201cFollowing the killing of yet another black person in the US and in light of the continuing police violence against black communities and people, Nassawiyat, as an intersectional feminist and queer group states its support to black people from every origin and nationality,\u201d reads their statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRacism exists everywhere,\u201d they continue, \u201cincluding in Morocco. What can we do to fight it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by the viral infographic created by <\/span>Mafazal Al Suwaidan<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Rana Abdelhamid<\/span><\/a>, which dissected racism in the Arab world<\/a>, Nassawiyat took it upon themselves to localize information regarding racism in Morocco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[This is] what we can do to support black Moroccans,\u201d reads the post, where they then go on to list the ways in which non-black Moroccans can become anti-racist. Addressing the history of slavery in Morocco, Nassawiyat details the prevalence of anti-blackness and white privilege as well as the importance of having conversations with family and friends regarding the matter, and of course, the Morocco-specific language that is anti-black.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The organization has made it clear that intersectionality is imperative\u2014citing Black trans women\u2019s fight against police violence in America as the catalyst for queer liberation movements worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
