The Feminist General Strike Is On!
#LaHuelgaGeneralFeministaVA
The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung presents a selection of texts from the Chilean book “The Feminist Strike Is On!”, compiled and edited by the Coordinadora Feminista 8M (March 8 Feminist Coordinating Committee) and the editorial Tiempo Robado, originally published in Spanish. These textes are fundamental for a wider public to learn about and be moved by the reflections that arose in the heat of the feminist revolt in this South American country.
“These pages are a pure and fresh feminist memory of a revolt in motion. In the two years recounted here – from the beginnings of 2018 to the preparation of the strike 8M until 2020 – we see an enormous force of organization being built, an unprecedented capacity for mobilization and an intense desire to transform everything. Text by text, action by action, meeting after meeting.” Ni Una Menos, Argentina.

De/Constructing Internationalism
In the midst of a global pandemic, which is surprisingly countered by national or even nationalistic answers, it might seem out of date to talk about new forms of internationalism. But feminist struggles have never taken place in a friendly environment. Yet, against all odds, strong local, as well as transnational movements, have developed.
