Laura spoke with Thistle about her feminist work and her experiences with trans activists in Mexico who have targeted her for attack and about how she has responded to those attacks.\\n\\nNext, enjoy the song \\u201cAntipatriarca\\u201d by Ana Tijoux before listening to the interview Thistle did in Spanish with Magali Terraza Ramirez, a young feminist activist from the organization Rosas Rojas, https://garmexicoblog.wordpress.com/rosas-rojas/?fbclid=IwAR0EDJEAx7q0n7rRhsAIMBqVQcNsc0njxGV3FsNkFuC5AT4iBuORxZjAFXE.

She is a specialist in the oppression of indigenous women.\\n\\nFinally, stay tuned for Sekhmet SheOwl\'s brilliant commentary on the feminist activism we see emerging in Mexico and Latin America and how it is different from North American feminism namely because the women of Latin America have to deal with racism, US imperialism and a whole host of factors that north american white women do not. \\n\\nThanks for tuning in to our feminist community powered radio station online, WLRN.
