SCIENTISTS CHALLENGE G7 ON COVID
[[link removed]]
_Jake Johnson_ / Common Dreams (Portland ME)
A group of scientists warned the leaders of rich countries on Thursday
that the world is badly unprepared for the next pandemic and must
urgently lay the groundwork for a swift, equitable global response
that puts lives over pharmaceutical industry profits.

_Khalid Albaih_ / Africa is a Country (New York)
The significance of ending the ongoing war in Sudan cannot be
overstated, and represents more than just an end to violence. It
provides a critical moment for the international community to follow
the lead of the Sudanese people.

SRI LANKA: LEFT STRATEGY AGAINST THE IMF
[[link removed]]
_Devaka Gunawardena _/ Polity (Colombo)
The citizenry must be able to express their dissent over the direction
that the current regime is imposing on the country. Opposition to the
regime’s anti-democratic measures requires foregrounding the class
dimension—especially the IMF Counter-Revolution—for resistance to
have any real hope of becoming effective.

EXTINCTION REBELLION: FROM DISRUPTION TO BROAD ALLIANCE
[[link removed]]
[scroll down!]
Global Newsletter (London)
There were marches so big you had to queue to join them. There
were moving speeches, star-studded musical sets, pickets outside
government buildings, and peoples’ assemblies using clever
software to allow ideas to be uploaded and rated. But there was a
key ingredient missing from this rebellion in the city where rebellion
first began. And that was disruption.
__________
SUBALTERN STUDIES IN PERSPECTIVE
[[link removed]]
_Stellan Vinthagen_ / Waging Nonviolence (Brooklyn)
David Hardiman was one of the founders of the Subaltern Studies Group,
part of a larger post-structural and cultural turn in the humanities
and social sciences, which has profoundly changed how we today discuss
history, power, consciousness, colonialism and resistance.

CHANGING FACE OF LABOR ACTIVISM IN CHINA
[[link removed]]
_Wen_ / 闯 Chuǎng
The shift to gig work in the service sector, precipitated by
deindustrialization, structural employment changes and the venture
capital investment in platform companies, has already resulted in some
worker mobilization. Some of the younger activists and student
radicals still currently active have become interested in this sector,
but space is limited for any meaningful participation.

CAMEROON

CONSERVATION COMMANDOS
[[link removed]]
_Shuimo Trust_ / African Arguments (London)
Cameroonian environmentalists have recognised that they must work with
– not against – displaced communities to make a difference. Over
time, the Environment and Community Development Association (EcoDAs)
began to cut through, helped by new strategies they devised to respond
to the communities’ needs.
