Called the “Mother of the Revolution,” Tawakkol is a fearless champion for democracy, human rights, and the freedom of expression. A leading voice of the Arab Spring, her courage has echoed far beyond Yemen, inspiring movements for justice around the world.
She is a journalist, activist, and founder of Women Journalists Without Chains and has been an invaluable part of our Community since her first Summit in Bogota in 2017. Honored by TIME as a Torchbearer of the Arab Spring and one of the most influential women of the century, her voice has ignited movements, challenged regimes, and inspired young leaders around the globe."

Today in Labor History April 16, 1884: Anatole France was born. He was a poet and novelist and won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1921. Many of his works satirized religious and political ideas. The son of a bookseller, France spent much of his childhood in his family’s bookstore, reading voraciously, and meeting many of the writers who frequented the store. He was active in the movement to free Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish army officer falsely accused of espionage. And he signed Emile Zola’s letter in support of Dreyfus, “J’accuse.” France wrote about wrote about the affair in his 1901 novel “Monsieur Bergeret.” France's novel, “Penguin Island depicts penguins transformed into humans after the birds have been mistakenly baptized by the almost-blind Abbot Mael. “The Gods Are Athirst” (1912), about a true-believing follower of Maximilien Robespierre and the Reign of Terror of 1793–94, is a wake-up call against political and ideological fanaticism. “The Revolt of the Angels” (1914) it tells the story of Arcade, a bored guardian angel who starts reading his mentee’s books on theology and becomes an atheist, moves to Paris, falls in love, and loses his virginity causing his wings to fall off. He then joins the revolutionary movement of fallen angels.
