#FeministsFightFascism: Statement on Rising Militarism and State Violence by AF³IRM Los Angeles
Since June 6th, ICE, the DEA and the FBI have escalated the violence in our communities at the behest of the fascist U.S. regime. They have seized our people from sidewalks and strawberry fields. They have taken mothers and children attending routine immigration appointments. They have corralled asylum-seeking families overnight into basements while denying them food, water, and basic human dignity.
UNTIL PATRIARCHY FALLS: Our Statement on the 2024 U.S. Elections
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.
NO MORE STOLEN SISTERS. NO MORE STOLEN RELATIVES. NO MORE GENOCIDE.
On this Day of Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Relatives, during the global #Week4Palestine, we in AF³IRM Los Angeles grieve.
