No War on China! Joining the global movement against a new cold war
Red Braid opposes the Western imperialist bloc that is reassembling against China, and especially, Canada’s central role in it.

That means opposing war on China without compromise, and fighting sinophobia and the Canadian state head on.
Red Braid is a woman’s organization
Red Braid member Teresa Dettling responds to criticisms that deny and erase women’s leadership in Red Braid. She says, "I refuse to stand by while my sisters are being slandered, and their work erased and ignored.
