Ohne Befreiung der Frauen kann es keinen wirklichen Frieden geben
Gunda Weidmüller aus Hamburg auf der Flint*Demonstration am 08.03.2020
Ich bin hier in Hamburg und auch bundesweit in der Friedensbewegung aktiv. Für mich sind Feminismus und Friedensbewegung untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Beide leben von den Grundgedanken der Gerechtigkeit, der Partizipation und der internationalen Solidarität. Ohne die Befreiung der Frauen kann es keinen wirklichen Frieden geben und ohne den Frieden keine Befreiung der Frau! Continue reading →

We mourn the death of Cynthia Cockburn
Cynthia Cockburn was a British academic, feminist, and peace activist. She was a researcher, writer, and photographer who has contributed to the study of masculinity, labor processes, and trade unionism, and more recently of gender, war and peace-making. She was an active anti-militarist and has long been involved in a number of peace and anti-war organizations. Cynthia was involved in the European Forum of Socialist Feminists and Women Against Fundamentalism and has long been active in the international network and London local group of Women in Black against War. From the beginning she supported the women against NATO network and produced the pink T-Shirts “Say no to NATO” which was handed over to the No to war – no to NATO network. In remembering of here we will use them in our fight against NATO.

Obama’s Drone Lies
Late last week the Obama administration released shockingly underreported numbers claiming that the U.S. government has caused only 64 to 116 civilian deaths by drone strikes. These numbers simply don’t add up. Independent organizations estimate that the number of civilian deaths is closer to 8 times that amount! Take action: Call on the Obama administration to release the names of the civilian drone strike victims as well as its methodology for determining who is a civilian. At CODEPINK, we agree … Continue reading →
