On this anniversary of their executions, carry on their legacy by helping the families of targeted activists and youth activists today: https://rfc.networkforgood.com/projects/82193-support-the-rosenberg-fun…

Rosenberg Mention of the Day: As we anticipate tomorrow's anniversary of the execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, we can't help but think of the communities of support who kept hope alive and rallied to their defense, even to the last. We're grateful for the notes we receive, like this one, from community members who still remember where they were and what they were doing in June of 1953:

Rosenberg Mention of the Day: Excerpted from her biography "Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy," Anne Sebba's new essay for Lit Hub explores the influence of the Rosenberg trial, the Red Scare era and Ethel herself on American fiction, from Plath's "The Bell Jar" to Kushner's "Angels in America" (and more).

Rosenberg Mention of the Day: Wow! Anne Sebba (Ethel Rosenberg's biographer) published in TIME today: "I fervently believe 2021 is a potent time to look again at Ethel as a woman in her own right, not just one half of the Rosenbergs. . .a mother who bravely chose to die rather than betray anyone, and in so doing bequeathed her sons a legacy of which they could be proud."

Rosenberg Mention of the Day: "The reason why I believe Ethel’s story is as important today as ever is to realize what can happen when fear, a forceful and blunt weapon in the hands of authority, turns to hysteria and justice is willfully ignored." -Anne Sebba, author of "Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy" (available now)
