Increasing patriarchal violence —from the manosphere’s growing influence to corporate and political endorsements of “masculine energy”—is not just a cultural trend; it is a systemic backlash against gender and racial justice. What conditions have allowed this response? And what are we building instead of these violent systems?

This roundtable conversation will explore how we can co-create new solutions, cultures, and spaces that foster healthy, inclusive, and justice-centered masculinities. Panelists will highlight community-based solutions for supporting boys and men of color, and offer strategies to counter patriarchal violence while engaging men in transformative change.
