The evictions of 4 other Catalan social  centers are coinciding in the next weeks… more news to come…

Feminists We Love: Tynesha and Thenjiwe McHarris

By: Aimee Meredith Cox and Darnell L. Moore

An encounter with Tynesha and Thenjiwe McHarris is like experiencing the commanding and luminous presence of spirit, a double portion–that sense of metaphysical connection that escapes our understanding.
