THE IRON DOME IS GLOBAL, AND SO IS RESISTANCE
[[link removed]]
_Naomi Klein_ / Red Pepper (London)
Commitment to the movements that this gathering represents. Movements
for true equality, and justice — social, racial, gender, economic
and ecological justice. Movements that exist in every country.
Movements that have grown with tremendous speed over these past
terrible months. If these months have taught us anything, it is that
these movements are all we have.
__________
UPSET IN TURKEY VOTE
[[link removed]]
_Niko Efstathiou_ / Kathimerini (Athens)
Sunday’s local elections were nothing short of a political
earthquake for Turkey. Never before during Erdogan’s decades-long
iron grip over the country has the ruling Justice and Development
Party (AKP) delivered such disappointing results. “Turkey is
secular and will remain secular,” crowds were shouting on Sunday
night as re-elected mayor Ekrem Imamoglu took the stage.

UGANDA’S YOUNG CLIMATE ACTIVISTS
[[link removed]]
_John Okot_ / African Arguments (London)
In Uganda, state repression of dissenting voices has become almost
normalised under the rule of President Yoweri Museveni. TotalEnergies
and its contractors have been party to intimidation of communities
affected by the East African Crude Oil Pipeline. For members of the
youth-led pressure group Justice Movement Uganda, the rising
mobilisation of young people is no coincidence.

A FEMINIST MOVEMENT IN CHINA
[[link removed]]
_Jiling Duan_ / Against the Current (Detroit)
Since the early 2010s, a succession of feminist advocacies has been
consistently surfacing in public spaces in China. These initiatives
often involve strategic street performances, followed by online
mobilization and petitions. The campaigns aim to promote cultural and
institutional change while demanding accountability from the
government.

POLAND:
[[link removed]]THE
FARMERS PROTESTS AND DILEMMAS FOR THE LEFT
[[link removed]]
_Gavin Rae_ / transform! Europe (Vienna)
The farmers’ protests have exposed many of the incongruities lying
at the heart of EU and Polish politics. A New Green Deal is required
opposing the liberalisation and financialisation of agriculture in
Europe, and the monopolisation of this sector, whilst promoting
policies that support small and medium farms as the basis of a more
sustainable, ecological and equitable farming sector.

_IL MANIFESTO
[[link removed]]_
CALLS FOR RESISTANCE REMEMBRANCE
[[link removed]]
il manifesto Global (Rome)
In Milan this year, we want a big demonstration in the streets, bigger
than the usual, one that would be able to speak for the whole
continent, just like back in 1945, when Italy’s April 25 was the
herald of liberation in Europe. Let us return to the streets, knowing
that what is needed to beat fascism, racism, exploitation and
environmental devastation is to build a better future.

MARYSE CONDÉ, 1934-2024
[[link removed]]
_Sian Cain_ / The Guardian (London)
Condé, whose books include _Segu_ and _Hérémakhonon_ was regarded
as a giant of the West Indies, writing frankly – as both a novelist
and essayist – of colonialism, sexuality and the black diaspora, and
introduced readers around the world to a wealth of African
and Caribbean history.
