Anarcha-feminist, poet and member of the militant union, CNT, she also cofounded Mujeres Libres, in response to the sexism within the anarchist movement. Its goal was to fight for women's liberation from their "triple enslavement" by ignorance, sexism and exploitation. Mujeres Libres ultimately grew into a movement of over 30,000 people. After the fascists defeated the Republicans in the Civil War, she briefly went into exile in France, but later returned and lived clandestinely within Francoist Spain until her death in 1970, barely escaping capture by the Nazis, when they overtook France.

Stuff I found

This is an antizionist post, but also a post about the Americas and large portions of Africa. White people started to create problems long before the British occupation of Palestine. #freepalestine #palestine #israel #zionism #antizionism #usa #politics #racism #antifascism #antifa

The United Nations just voted to establish an International Day Against Colonialism in All Its Forms. The only countries voting against it: Israel and the United States

"On January 20 at 2 PM local time, we will walk out of work, school, and commerce because a Free America begins the moment we stop cooperating with fascism."
