We are deeply saddened to hear of Rose’s passing. Her wisdom, generosity, and tireless advocacy for Indigenous women and girls touched many lives. Rose’s legacy will continue to guide and inspire us. Our thoughts are with her family and community.

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of long-time friend, partner, & feminist activist Rose Cunningham Kain.

We are sad to have lost such a presence in our lives, but we are grateful to hold onto our memories of you.

Rest well, friend.

Das Interesse an der Wiederauferstehung von @die-linke.de war groß. Und auch wenn ein Treffen mit der berühmtesten linken US-Abgeordneten (noch) nicht möglich war, ein Foto vor ihrer ikonischen Tür musste sein.

Yesterday in NY, leaders and civil society honored José “Pepe” Mujica, Uruguay’s former president. Spain, Chile, and Uruguay’s leaders asked: what would he say on dignity under neoliberalism, Gaza’s suffering, and LatAm unity? His words echo: “Sometimes, the impossible costs more.”
