2024 was a busy year for Feminists Fighting Fascism.

NATIONAL—The U.S. has once again elected a fascist into power.  This time, mobilizing agents of patriarchy to the polls to win the “popular vote.”We hold no illusions about elections; we know we cannot vote our way to liberation. This election cycle is yet another reminder that U.S. politics are designed to center U.S. imperialist interests, and relegate women of color and our communities to the margins.  We in AF³IRM knew that regardless of the election results, we would be ready for a fight. We are preparing for emboldened sexism, misogyny, and racism.

With heavy hearts, AF3IRM mourns the loss and celebrates the life and legacy of Jane McAlevey.

On this Day of Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Relatives, during the global #Week4Palestine, we in AF³IRM Los Angeles grieve.

On International Women’s Day (IWD) 2024, AF³IRM calls on all women and people of conscience to do more than #InspireInclusion. The appropriate response in this pivotal moment in history is unprecedented action and an unwavering commitment to transnational feminism. Stand together for liberation. This year, IWD is especially solemn as the world’s eyes are on the culminating acts of genocide in Palestine. For over 150 days, the worst of nightmares and experiences have stormed their way into our conscience. Over 30,000 Palestinians have been martyred. We grieve for the tens of thousands more injured, those lost under the rubble of their communities, and those who have yet to be accounted for.

AF³IRM NYC stands firmly on the principle and practice of believing a victim’s account of sexual violence. When, however, the “evidence” comes from those who are part of a propaganda machinery that has sought consistently to portray its adversary as “subhuman terrorists” and “animals,” we must rage against the machine.

AF³IRM, a transnational feminist, anti-imperialist organization, denounces and condemns the continued escalation of U.S. support for the “Israel” entity in its war against Palestinians. As women, as descendants of families who have survived Israel and U.S.-backed dictatorships and interventions, we stand with the women and the people of Palestine. 

On March 8th, the 23rd year into this century, we once again celebrate Womankind’s long history of struggle for equity and equality in the human world. For those of us living and working and fighting in the territory of the United States, that means going beyond the annals of the settler feminist movement.
