"Polish Grannies vs. the right-wing: Europe's unlikely democracy defenders" Article

“In recent years we have observed in Poland, and also in other countries, a tendency for women to mobilize in progressive movements opposing fascism or right-wing populism,” says Elżbieta Korolczuk, a sociologist at Södertörn University in Stockholm and the American Studies Center of Warsaw University. “This is a conflict around who is really ‘the people.’ Right-wing populists often use rhetoric to claim that they are ‘the people’ and that they have the right to decide how the state should act and what rights the individual groups should have. Women in Poland, Argentina, or Spain oppose this. They say we are ‘the people.’”

"Today is ours

Let’s live it

Love is strong

Let’s give it

A song can help

Let’s sing it

Peace is dear

Let’s bring it

The past is gone

Don’t rue it

Our work is here

Lets do it

Our world is wrong

Let’s right it

The battle hard

Let’s fight it

The road is rough

Let’s clear it

The future vast

Don’t fear it

Is faith asleep?

Let’s wake it

Today is ours

Let’s take it."
