Dawn Marie Paley /// Editing Ojalá.mx an introspective look at the Latin American Left and Feminisms

In this conversation, recorded on March 20th 2025, we speak with Dawn Marie Paley. With Raquel Gutiérrez Aguilar, she is the co-founder of Ojalá, a digital weekly dedicated to journalism and analysis that aims to foster a common sense of dissidence. Dawn speaks about her motives for launching Ojalá, born from a broader lack of critical leftist reportage on leftist regimes in Latin America, specifically in the English-speaking world. She discusses the role of feminism and autonomous indigenous organizing to these struggles, to the work of Ojalá, and to the recent marches across Mexico for March 8th, the first International Women’s Day under president Claudia Sheinbaum.
