#MeetTheMatriarchs: honoring Women’s History Month, and the 48th anniversary of the historic 71-day stand at Wounded Knee, we’re inviting you to a special afternoon with Lakota Matriarchy. These women took up arms against the government, and you're invited for an afternoon chat to talk about the trials and triumphs of the Red Power Movement.

You’ll have the chance to virtually join Madonna Thunder Hawk, Marcella Gilbert, Lakota Harden, Mabel Ann Eagle Hunter, and co-facilitators Beth Castle and Dawnee LeBeau. And if you haven’t seen Warrior Women, the Peabody-nominated documentary about these incredible Lakota winyans, you’ll have a chance to stream it before the discussion.

10.11.19 / MLKP / KKÖ: Comrades Ceren Güneş and Aynur Ada are immortal!

​

Comrades Ceren Güneş of DKP (B) and Aynur Ada of DKP-BÖG fell martyr in the great resistance against the invasion of Rojava by the colonialist fascist Turkish state.

They rejected the patriarchal capitalist system and all "easy" living opportunities within it and realized their own history in a revolutionary way. In Rojava we fought with them in the International Battalion and witnessed their revolutionary practice. We took part in the defense of our Rojava women revolution, shoulder to shoulder in the battle trenches.
Ceren and Aynur; The ideals of these two pioneering women, who are exemplary revolutionaries of the break-away from the patriarchal bourgeois order, the sharp practical reckoning with traditional roles imposed on women, are our ideals. We once again promise that for these ideals we will raise our level of warfare on all fronts and strengthen our revolutionary commitment to them at every step.
We will draw strength from their responsibility, daring, courage and determination, to shoulder strategic tasks within their party at a young age. We will learn from their practice of becoming leadership and command and force all the possibilities to include it in our leadership style.
Once again we salute all our female comrades who have become immortalized fighting with great devotion and determination in the trenches of Rojava. In the struggle against the invasion of Rojava, we promise victory to all the heroines and heroes of the resistance who have gone to immortality.
Comrades Ceren and Aynur are alive, the fight continues!
Long live our Rojava revolution!
We will defend every position and fight for every piece of land!
Long live the women's comradeship!
Long live our women's revolution!

Establishing this page is a great initiative. We need to learn more about women who have fought for Communism in a variety of social and political circumstances. May I introduce Dulcie Steffanou, one of the core leaders of Australian Communism: http://cpaml.org/about1.php?id=468
