The Saudi regime has just declared war on women's rights activism, put *all* of the country's leading women's rights activist in jail, and threatened the rest into silence by threatening their families. This is a crisis situation. The survival of Saudi feminism is at stake.
This is sad and disgusting, I know. But I don't want you to be sad, I don't want you to be disgusted. I want you to be angry. Don't they deserve our support?
