THE ENERGY DEMOCRACY DECLARATION
[[link removed]]
_Our Future is Public conference_ / Transnational Institute
(Amsterdam)
The aim of this declaration is to strengthen, expand and unify the
many social movements committed to energy and environmental justice.
The declaration has been drafted by a diverse group of participants
ranging from Indigenous representatives, trade unions, ecofeminists,
climate justice organisations, solidarity collectives and NGOs.

QUÉBEC: RUMBLINGS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
[[link removed]]
_Lital Khaikin_ / Canadian Dimension (Winnipeg)
Fed up with the deterioration of public services under the Coalition
Avenir Québec government, thousands took to the streets. A coalition
of unions known as the “common front,” or _front commun_,
represents over 420,000 workers in Québec’s public
schools, health care and social services sectors.

PAKISTANI LEFT LEADER: CHOOSING BETWEEN POWERS
[[link removed]]
_Ammar Ali Jan and Federico Fuentes_ / Links (Sydney)
The left and social movements can have more autonomy. As leftists, we
can maintain a more sovereign, non-aligned position when it comes to
our political line, working out the principal contradiction we face in
the world. There is a new pole — or maybe multiple poles —
emerging, opening up space for progress. But many of the governments
that have filled that space are not progressive.

WEST PAPUAN LEADER RELEASED BY INDONESIA
[[link removed]]
_Yamin Kogoya_ / Green Left (Sydney)
Prominent West Papuan independence activist Victor Yeimo was released
from prison in Indonesia’s occupied capital of West Papua on
September 23, sparking a massive celebration among thousands of
Papuans. His release once again ignited a spirit of unity among
Papuans in their fight against what they refer to as racism,
colonialism and imperialism.
__________
THE PERSECUTION OF RUSSIAN ANTI-FASCISTS
[[link removed]]
_Dan Storyev_ / Jacobin (New York)
As Russian authorities continue their persecution of Azat Miftakhov,
an anarchist mathematician and anti-fascist activist, his case is
illustrative of two currents in modern Russia: the brutal and
humiliating treatment of political prisoners and the decades-long
assault on leftist activists. While the Kremlin claims it is
anti-fascist in its war on Ukraine, nothing could be further from the
truth.
__________
A WORKER-LED CLIMATE MOVEMENT?
[[link removed]]
_Joseph Evans_ / Tribune (London)
Without new green jobs, those in the gas and oil industry risk
becoming the coal miners of this generation. We need a green
transition that has worker power at its heart.
__________
SUDAN: CIVIL WAR AND THE REVOLUTION
[[link removed]]
_Anna Simone Reumert _/ Africa is a Country (New York)
The consistency of protest can be a salvage against depression, but if
everyone is out of fuel, how does a movement go on? Since the
outbreak of war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF on April
15 this year, the neighborhood resistance committees have become a
key organ of survival for civilians, who are relying on their
distribution of food, water, medical aid, and safe passage.
__________
GETTING CREATIVE IN FIGHTING GERMAN FASCISTS
[[link removed]]
_Paula Reisdorf_ / Waging Nonviolence (Brooklyn)
As the influence of the anti-migrant AfD grows in eastern Germany,
counter-demonstrators are organizing multiracial raves to bring back
the joy of solidarity.
__________
HARD LOOK AT CUBA’S ECONOMIC PLIGHT
[[link removed]]
_Dr C Juan Triana Cordoví_ / On Cuba (Miami)
It will be paradoxical, but perhaps in these last three years — in
which more measures have been adopted to return the economic system to
its dynamics, in which more openness has been achieved in the
functioning of the economy if we compare it with previous periods, it
has turned out that we have seen the worst results.
