Breaking the Chains

Rape. Police killings. Poverty. Sexual harassment.

Are you fed up? Fed up with victims being blamed. Fed up with powerful white men using the law to control our bodies. Fed up with lower wages for harder work. Fed up with being responsible for child care, parent care, housework, and all of it on top of waged work.

Black Lives Matter. #MeToo. McDonald’s workers on strike against sexual harassment.
Are you inspired to join a movement? Do you want to fight for a better world for women and all workers?

We, the women of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, are fed up. We are ready to fightback and build a movement. We are ready to struggle for a better system. We have been in the streets marching, shutting down meetings, and standing up for our neighborhoods. Now it’s our time to connect more and more women together who are just like us and build a strong platform.

We are dedicated to organizing and mobilizing the movement for women’s liberation, and ultimately for socialism. In 2016, the Party for Socialism and Liberation began producing the magazine. Breaking the Chains is a one-of-its-kind feminist, socialist magazine, deeply connected to the everyday experiences of working women from generations past to today. The magazine intervenes in the political landscape at a time when we desperately need a new militant women’s movement. The creators, who edit, write, design, draw and produce the magazine, are women workers and activists in our communities. We believe that capitalism is the basis for the oppression of women and socialism is a necessary step to overturn that oppression.

We need your help.

Become a patron today. Help make Breaking the Chains a successful project that can reach women across the country, including our working-class sisters behind bars. Not a single creator on this project receives an income from the work. The entirety of your support enables us to produce more and more socialist feminist art as well as establish a program to provide women in prisons with the magazine.
