“Buttons were almost like fine jewelry and at the same time a sign of combativeness. I lived in a lesbian community, from where we organized parties and campaigns. Wherever it was, the button machine went with it! A button like “Black Lesbian” gives strength and inspiration. To me being black and lesbian means a lot, because it coincides with myself, it is a whole.
In the 1980s and 1990s, intensive exchanges with black lesbian women abroad grew. London, for example, where they were very active in local politics. We learned a lot there and at the international conferences there were also buttons making workshops. Showing yourself was cool and it gave recognition. We also exchanged buttons among ourselves. I paid extra attention to it during demonstrations and campaigns. They were on a jacket. The anti-apartheid button, the button against racism and the black lesbian button. I also had one against nuclear energy and Act Up is watching you! At Pink Saturday of course and at parties. But I also made a statement with the pink triangle at funerals of friends, whose environment did not recognize being gay. Bit provocative, but invisibility is worse.”.

However, from the 1970s onwards the factory started to run at a loss and when the results were again poor in 1979 and 1980 it was decided to close. Ford’s management wanted to transfer production to the factory in Genk (Belgium) because absenteeism and the number of hours on strike were lower at Ford Genk.
This threatened to lose 1,650 jobs in Amsterdam.
Despite fierce resistance, with workers occupying the factory twice, in April and June 1981, and political pressure, the Dutch Minister of Economic was not willing to help financially, partly as a result of which the management of Ford stuck to the closing decision.
The last Ford car was built by Amsterdam Assembly in November 1981. After the closure of the factory, the buildings were demolished. The sales activities of Ford Netherlands moved to the center of Amsterdam.

Button fron The Netherlands from the communist youth organisation ANJV.
The Algemeen Nederlands Jeugd Verbond (General Dutch Youth Alliance) was a Dutch communist political youth organization.
The organization was founded on June 15, 1945 (right after the liberation of The Netherlands in WWII) with the aim of establishing one socialist youth movement. From an organizational point of view the ANJV was independent, but politically it was affiliated with the Communist Party of the Netherlands. This was evident, for example, from the fact that CPN activists and MPs frequently spoke in ANJV leaflets.
A number of CPN leaders such as Marcus Bakker, Henk Hoekstra and Joop Wolff were directors of the ANJV in their early years. Other leaders were Rinus Haks and Han de Leeuw. The ANJV magazine was called Youth. From the mid-nineties of the twentieth century, the ANJV consisted only of the Amsterdam department.
In 2012 it dissolved into another left political organisation.

A government junta was established, in which Christian Democrats, Social Democrats and even Communists took part.
In 1980, however, the government resigned due to skewed power relations. A bloody battle in which death squads were active broke out. The US government, which had experienced “a threat of communism” from South America since the 1970s, backed El Salvador’s military rule behind the scenes. The military and police were trained in the United States and provided with weapons to stay in power.
