Lucía Sánchez Saornil, born on this day in 1895, was a poet, anarchist, and feminist who fought in the Spanish Civil War and was one of the founders of Mujeres Libres.

Mujeres Libres was an anarchist women's organization in Spain from 1936 - 1939, associated with the anarcho-syndicalist labor union Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) and Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista (SIA).

In 1931, Saornil, who had been working as a telephone operator since 1916, participated in a strike by the CNT against Telefónica. The event was a turning point in her life, and from this point forward, Lucía dedicated herself to the struggle for anarchist social revolution.

With the defeat of the Second Republic, Lucía and her partner América were forced to flee to Paris, where Lucía continued her involvement in the SIA. Lucía was buried in Valencia, Spain, and her tombstone epitaph reads, "But is it true that hope has died?" ("¿Pero es verdad que la esperanza ha muerto?").

Bert is settling in! I think I am mostly over my cold.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

Do I need to explore every tile? I've got 2 foresight from scroll book, but the score is still not good.

Each month, we share the stories of World BEYOND War volunteers around the world. Want to volunteer with World BEYOND War? Email greta@worldbeyondwar.org.

Location:

⁠Uganda, Africa

How did you get involved with anti-war activism and World BEYOND War (WBW)?

⁠I got involved with anti-war activism because of what happened to me and the people around me. I was born in a war zone and in perennial conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and up to now war still turns out to be a game to politicians. Through that mayhem and hardship of the war every day, I found myself becoming an advocate and peace ambassador in the refugee camps, for instance in the Nakivale settlement located in the Isingiro district in western Uganda, near the Tanzanian border. I believe that war isn’t good; it just kills innocent people and displaces people to the four corners of the world. This is why I got involved with World BEYOND War, whose vision resonates with my conviction: abolition of war as an institution, demilitarization, peace education, building a culture of peace, grassroots organizing and activism. These are the common goals and convictions that compelled me and my entire team to join a wonderful organization. We are united in our vision to change the community as well as the world.

What kinds of WBW activities do you work on?

I do so much voluntary work on addressing the results and consequences of wars, using my experience on conflict resolution and management training. I also organize peace tournaments and marathons for peace to educate the community.

In the refugee settlement, I use music and art to support and uplift displaced children and young people at our school. I do creative workshops where participants can express their emotions, tell their stories, and find moments of joy through drawing, painting, and musical activities. These activities help build confidence, relieve stress, and strengthen a sense of community. The music connects to build harmony and bring hope again due to difficult experiences in war zones.

What’s your top recommendation for someone who wants to get involved with anti-war activism and WBW?

My recommendation is that other people should join us to make change in the world, to abolish war and demilitarize the world. Because this is our cause, our world, and we are the ones to decide good things for ourselves. We must stand up and act now, we must stand as one voice, we must stand for our children’s generation to live in a peaceful world.

What keeps you inspired to advocate for change?

⁠I stand for change because people have the right to live in a peaceful world. It is possible to make the world a better place for people without global inequalities that prevail. I have been engaging in community work for almost six years now, which keeps inspiring me to help the marginalized community and children. I’m proud that I started the Isingiro Nakivale Chapter of World BEYOND War, a peace initiative rooted in the Nakivale refugee settlement. This keeps me busy working for peacebuilding and nonviolent advocacy that provides tools to act effectively.
