Recently transferred some readings by founding Bay Area Radical Women poet Karen Brodine to digital files. A staff member was struck by this particular poem that has always seemed like an anthem to what it means to be a socialist feminism living in a capitalist world. Its images seem even more present-day than when it was written decades ago. Enjoy Karen Brodine reading her poem "Journal Entries: June 1978," also known as "Always the Ideas Carry Themselves Forward on the Shoulders of Images" from her book ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY.

Don't miss this powerful intersectional, anti-capitalist manifesto by international Iranian feminists. This reading is at a feminist protest in Seattle on October 2. The beginning part of the statement (not caught on video) is: "In the name of Zhina, the fallen victim to state femicide two weeks ago, "In the name of Homa Darabi and her self-immolation in 1994 to protest the systemic expulsion of women, "In the name of the Enghelab street Girls and their unapologetic and unrelenting protests against the imposed Hijab, "And in the name of all oppressed women and minorities who have taken the streets back and breathed life into the new resistance these past several years. . ."

Be inspired by this message of solidarity from our Argentine socialist feminist sisters in Mujeres por la Libertad. They know how to fight and how to win the battle for reproductive rights! But they also know the struggle takes vigilance and a continued fight under capitalism. A leader of the group says: "We know that reactionary forces are lurking to push us back. These forces are waiting for the opportune moment to strike and take away the gains we have just won. "It is only by tirelessly fighting to overthrow the patriarchy and capitalism that we can end all oppression and exploitation and achieve freedom and equality."
