Invitation Letter from the Women’s Committee

Spirit of Mandela Tribunal

The Women’s Committee

Dear Sisters,

In October 2021, the “Spirit of Mandela” Tribunal was a highly successful campaign to expose the issues of genocide and oppression impacting Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Poor Communities inside the United States. The Tribunal was initiated and led by former Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War from the oppressed national communities including but not limited to the Black Liberation Movement, the Borinqueña (Puerto Rican) Independence Movement, and the Indigenous Liberation Movements. A panel of international jurists found the US guilty of genocide and other violations of human rights against these oppressed communities. We uphold this verdict as it relates to women’s oppression and patriarchy.

As an outcome of the Tribunal, formal charges are being prepared for filing at the United Nations against the US and a new Peoples’ Senate is being organized to unite these oppressed national communities in their struggles against these oppressive conditions inside the US.

“The Peoples’ Senate will be a national cohesive network of people reflective of poor and working-class communities across the United States, community, professional, and revolutionary organizations, academics, health care advocates, religious communities, joined together to protect, champion, and uphold the human rights of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, and thus by doing so, ensure the human rights of all people”
— Mission Statement

Recently, a number of women from the Tribunal have begun meeting to have discussions about the forms of oppression that particularly impact women, including the struggle against patriarchy in all communities. Issues such as the lowest rungs of poverty, unequal and inadequate pay, lack of affordable childcare, women missing from their communities, formerly and presently incarcerated women, violence against women, women’s leadership and other issues should be brought forward.

We are reaching out to women from the various oppressed national communities to join our Women’s Committee and give guidance as to which women’s issues are most important to be raised from each community as well as contribute to the struggle for women’s rights.

We would like to invite you to our first organizing meeting of the Women’s Committee on International Women’s Day, March 8th at 9:00 pm ET, 6:00 pm PT. We are hoping to further broaden the committee and your thoughts, concerns and ideas will be greatly appreciated.

The Women’s Committee Meeting:

When: Mar 8, 2022 09:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) [6 pm pst; 7 pm mst; 8 pm cst]

We could write a whole article on the shit storm that has hit at the federal level and then reel off reactionary oppressive measures that local and state governments are imposing in response to the massive numbers of people they know damn well are going to be dying, suffering, hurting, living in the streets — and be mad as hell. https://conta.cc/4iWZe2j
