FRANCE’S LEFT PARTIES TAKE ON POLICE RACISM

_Mathieu Dejean and Christophe Gueugneau_ / Jacobin (New York)
France’s left has often failed to speak up for marginalized
minorities. But after the backlash over the police murder of
17-year-old Nahel, left-wing parties have taken a clear stance,
refusing to condemn rioters and insisting their anger is justified.

IRAN: OIL WORKERS SUPPORT INSURGENT WOMEN

_Anonymous_ / Red Pepper (London)
Following the murder of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, by
the Iranian state’s ‘morality police’, the Council for
Organising Oil Contract Workers’ Protests issued a statement to
the Iranian authorities, asking, ‘How long will our streets be
dominated by the violence against women, under the pretext of hijab?
How long will our lives be dominated by financial insecurity and
hunger?’

THE STRUGGLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN AFRICA
[[link removed]]
_Nnimmo Bassey_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)
The struggle for environmental justice in Africa is complex and broad.
It is the continuation of the fight for the liberation of the
continent and for socio-ecological transformation. It is a fact that
the environment is our life: The soil, rivers, and air are not
inanimate or lifeless entities. We are rooted and anchored in our
environment.

JENIN: SYMBOL OF RESISTANCE AND RESILIENCE

Middle East Eye (London)
For more than two decades, the refugee camp, which sits in the
eponymous West Bank city of Jenin, has become a focus of international
attention and a stronghold of Palestinian determination to defy
Israeli occupation. Israel's latest assault on the refugee camp,
which started on Monday, has left residents shocked by the sheer level
of destruction left in its wake.

_Chloe DS and Maung Zarni_ / Green Left (Sydney)
Zarni: “Two things are going on here: one is armed resistance,
supplemented by a civil disobedience movement of civil servants. Then,
a cultural boycott of the military and its economic products. And the
other — in my view equally important — is the social revolution
that attempts to build a different type of society that is worthy of a
democratic system.”

CLOSING NOTES FROM _IL MANIFESTO_ EDITOR
[[link removed]]
_Norma Rangeri_ / il manifesto Global (Rome)
Democratic and left-wing forces are not in good shape – as we also
saw in the last local elections – and we at _il manifesto_, who are
part of this left, are also laboring under the pains of the inadequacy
of our camp. The left must rediscover its people, its empathy for the
weakest, for those who depend on a living wage, and it must come to
terms with a much-changed new lexicon of social and civil rights.

Jujuy, Argentina Lights Up

_Harsh Thakor_ / Crosscurrents.org (Kottayam, India)
In San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina, a turbulent revolt has arisen for
weeks against the reform of the Provincial Constitution that will
leave indigenous people landless to pave way for mega-projects for the
extraction of lithium for foreign companies. In addition, the people
are facing merciless repression by the provincial security forces.

“When I entered the room to be judged, and saw my comrades after
three years in prison, I yelled: Earth or Death! That was our slogan.
They responded: We will win!”
