Our partners the Peasant Unity Committee (CUC) and Sector de Mujeres have been at the forefront of the struggle in Guatemala through Asamblea Social y Popular. What is the "plurinational assembly" that they're demanding?

Your generosity continues to be critical in dismantling the widespread structures that systematically oppress women. Your support of grassroots feminisms (each based on local conditions) is smashing the patriarchy and creating new alternatives based on justice, equity, and empowerment.

Together, we can strike at the heart of the three-headed beast of male dominance, racism, and endless greed. Gifts to our Annual Fund support movements leading the struggle for a just and equitable society.
