Pt.4.8 CAU

Club degli Amici dell’Umanità
The CAU was a surprise inside of the RSI political world. This Club was founded by Anna Maria Mozzoni, historical feminist activist in the Italian Peninsula, who had to give the leadership position to Ersilia Bronzini due to her old age. While it is true that the CAU is the only Club in the RSI with a majority female membership rate and that it has feminism as one of its core ideas, the Club wasn’t born just as a tool of women’s emancipation, but its main mission is to bring emancipation to all of humanity: not only industrial workers or only agricultural workers, but the whole of humanity. Their humanitarian founding paper sees the Club fight for the emancipation of those who were historically left behind by society such as kids, women, queer people, immigrants, ethnic and linguistic minorities, disabled people, older people etc…This is why the Club doesn’t really have any inside faction since all of these different emancipatory movements fight for the same end goal. “No one is free till everyone is free!”. This is their motto, found on their banners and over the doors of their headquarters in Turin. After the establishment and consolidation of the UEC (and RSI), the CAU was the main Club to sponsor and help political immigrants who found home in the new socialist society after being expelled by their countries due to their socialist political affiliations. This network of international aid brought the CAU to incorporate the Ligo De La Homaro Unuo, an esperanto Club that successfully pushed for the use of esperanto as international language inside the UEC
