La Rivolta! is a celebration of the radical women of history and the battles they waged as well as a forum for solidarity among radical feminists today to continue the fight for the liberation of all oppressed people.
The patriarchal capitalist system that designates women to a lesser status than men also underestimates women's capacity to challenge the existing order and improve our circumstances. We must tap into our individual and collective strengths and build support for political and cultural efforts aimed at social change.
La Rivolta! is a chance for us to meet, exchange information and ideas and to learn about each other's struggles and practical efforts to overcome them. Drawing from the incredible people committed to radical feminism in our community in Boston as well as in other cities and countries, La Rivolta! will unite individuals and groups across fields of activity from anarcho-punk rock to anti-violence against women, from anti-prison work to women's health care towards the greater empowerment of all women.
The battle for women's liberation must be fought within the framework of class struggle. As long as there is a ruling class neither women nor men will be free. We must understand the society within which we live and continually reevaluate what it takes to change it, so that we may more forcefully vie with those who would prefer to keep us in ignorance and fear, those who become richer and richer while robbing the majority of material well-being, those who deny us our rights, those who want state control over our bodies, use us as fodder in their wars, attempt to pacify us with false elections, and decimate our environment. We envision a society based on freedom and equality in which poverty and privilege, class and injustice, sexism and racism and homophobia are on the scrap heap of history. Our goal is the emancipation of all oppressed and exploited people, and as part of the ongoing fight we must address issues that impact women specifically. This can only be achieved through our own efforts.
United we are strong. Communicating and building networks of support makes us stronger. La Rivolta!
