SET FOR SEPTEMBER
[[link removed]]
_Jake Johnson_ / Common Dreams (Portland ME)
This September, as world leaders discuss climate action at the United
Nations in New York, people on every continent will join the
largest-ever globally coordinated action to demand that governments
end the use of fossil fuels. Already a Global Climate Strike is
planned by Fridays for Future on September 15, and a March to End
Fossil Fuels will be held in New York on September 17.

_Mera Aladam_ / Middle East Eye (London)
Anger spilled into the streets of France, with people protesting in
Nanterre on Tuesday night. Around 31 protesters
[[link removed]]were arrested after
cars, bus stops and bins were set alight. The towns of Asnieres,
Colombes, Suresnes, Aubervilliers, Clichy-sous-Bois and
Mantes-la-Jolie joined in to protest the shooting of 17-year-old Nael
M, after he was stopped by police for road misconduct.

FINALLY, A PROGRESSIVE MAYOR IN TORONTO
[[link removed]]
_Luke Savage_ / Jacobin (New York)
Mere months ago, the Right looked to have secured a political
stranglehold on Canada’s largest city for the foreseeable future.
Just now, New Democrat Olivia Chow beat the odds and proved that a
social democratic message can win at the municipal level.
__________
OPEN LETTER FROM DENATIONALIZED NICARAGUANS
[[link removed]]
International Viewpoint (Paris)
We participants of the struggle against the Somoza dictatorship and of
an admired revolution, turn to the parties and organizations of the
Sao Paulo Forum to denounce the regime of terror in Nicaragua, which
on a daily basis violates all civil liberties, annihilates democracy
and justice and subjects the people to worse oppression than that
imposed by the previous dictatorship.

ELECTORAL LEFT UNITY PROJECT IN SPAIN
[[link removed]]
_Roberto Morea and Marga Ferré_ / transform! Europe (Vienna)
A proposal to create a unitary umbrella, _Sumar_,
[[link removed]] led to a gathering of political forces
and individuals, citizens, around a progressive agenda for the July 23
vote. Thirteen political parties participated in the process of
building _Sumar_ — the most important ones, _Izquierda
Unida_,_ Podemos_,_ Catalunya en Comú_, along with some small green
parties.

ARMED RESISTANCE IN PALESTINE
[[link removed]]
_Leila Warah_ / Middle East Eye
Many Palestinians are disillusioned by peace talks and diplomacy
between officials and look down on the PA’s security coordination
with Israel to suppress the armed resistance, which has caused
tensions to rise in places like Nur Shams. “The only way to get
back our freedom is by force.”
__________
CALL FOR ACTION ON SOUTH AFRICA
[[link removed]]’S
WATER CRISIS
[[link removed]]
_Makana Citizens’ Front (MCF) and Unemployed Peoples’ Movement
(UPM) _/ Grocott's Mail (Grahamstown, South Africa)
We are extremely frustrated and angry at the continuing failures of
the ANC to deliver basic services to the people of Makhanda. Even
worse is the inability of this municipality to provide us with clean,
safe drinking water. We fear a catastrophe should we suffer a severe
climate shock in the near future.

INDIGENOUS CANDIDATE EXCLUDED FROM GUATEMALA
[[link removed]]’S
ELECTION
[[link removed]]
_Giovanni Batz and Thelma Cabrera_ / NACLA Reports (New York)
Thelma Cabrera, a Maya Mam human rights defender, was one of the
candidates prevented from running for office after her
vice-presidential running mate, Jordán Rodas, was disqualified under
dubious conditions. Cabrera speaks on Guatemala, the proposals of her
party, and the current conditions within the context of the elections.

THE LEFT IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
[[link removed]]
_Martin Schirdewan and Albert Scharenberg_ / Rosa Luxemburg
Stiftung (Berlin)
Right-wing populists have capitalized on people’s anxiety and
greatly increased their parliamentary representation. In many
countries, they’re now in power. The European Left, by contrast, has
struggled to turn the situation to its advantage, and has watched its
returns decline In recent elections in Spain and Greece. Can the tide
be turned?
