Susan Lisa Rosenberg is an American activist, writer, advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the Leftist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO") which, according to a contemporaneous FBI report, "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence". M19CO was named after the birth-date of Ho Chi Minh and El Hajj Malik Shabazz. The organizations actions primarily consisted of providing political and material support for wars of national liberation, outside and within U.S. borders. Additionally, the group believed in the principle of Third World Leadership and that women's liberation was essential aspect of the fight against U.S. imperialism.
