Mujeres Cruzando la Linea [Women Crossing the Line] is a monthly women's program on community station Violeta Radio in Mexico City. Station co-founder Maru Chavez sent WINGS the translation of an episode on Social Movements Facing the Advance of Authoritarianism in Latin America. Prominent Mexican philosopher Diana Fuentes and host Daysi Flores discuss the rise of right-wing politics in the Central and South American region and the need for social movements to bond together with each other and with labour.
