SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE
[[link removed]]
_Robert Francis_ / Common Dreams (Portland ME)
A truly decolonial approach affirms Ukraine’s struggle as one of
self-determination against imperial rule, not merely a proxy in
great-power politics. Resistance movements in Ukraine, such as those
documented by Avtonom, 161 Crew’s Ukraine War Reader, Solidarity
Collectives, and the Ukraine Solidarity Campaign, provide vital
perspectives that counter the dominant geopolitical framing of the
war.

[[link removed]]
World Beyond War (Chartlottesville)
On February 23 and surrounding days, individuals and organizations
around the world took coordinated action in their communities to call
for the closure of all military bases as part of the Global Day of
Action to Close Bases. Over 60 events took place in Australia,
Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador,
England, Finland, Germany, Guam, Ireland, and more.

LETTER TO THE ISRAELI LEFT
[[link removed]]
_Nevo Spiegel_ / Boston Review
Interpersonal exercises have taken the place of organizing for
political power, aimed at clear-eyed political solutions. How did we,
the Israeli left, get it so wrong? And why do many still fail to
realize this failure? Answering these questions is pivotal now with a
fragile ceasefire in Gaza and the Middle East in tatters. The Israeli
left must regroup and rethink its way going forward.

RESISTANCE TO GENOCIDE IN SUDAN
[[link removed]]
_Shireen Akram-Boshar_ / Truthout (Sacramento)
Members of the Sudanese Resistance Front (SuRF), an organization of
Sudanese activists, discuss the U.S.’s sanctions, the relationship
between the military factions RSF and SAF, and the role of the UAE and
other regional and global powers in maintaining the war in Sudan.

ASSERTING HISTORY: THE PEOPLE VS MARCOS JR
[[link removed]]
_Kurt Dela Peña_ / Inquirer.net (City of Makati, Philippines)
Since last year, Feb. 25, the day that marked the end of the over
20-year dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos Sr., has ceased to be a
special non-working day. But this year, schools and students are
taking the lead in resisting attempts to “diminish the
significance” of a critical moment in the history of the Philippines
— “one that toppled a dictatorship and restored civil
liberties.”

ABDULLAH ÖCALAN CALLS FOR CEASEFIRE
[[link removed]]
MedyaNews (Beşiktaş, Turkey)
“Abdullah Öcalan’s February 27 statement titled ‘Call for Peace
and Democratic Society’ is a Manifesto of the Age,” proclaimed the
leadership of the PKK, the Kurdish armed party founded by the now
imprisoned Öcalan.
__________
TRANS PRIDE IN RIO
[[link removed]]
_Constance Malleret_ / NACLA Reports (New York)
Brazil’s Carnival may be known internationally as a week of non-stop
dancing and celebration, but “the greatest show on earth” is also
deeply political. 2025 will be the first time ever that Rio’s
Carnival celebrations will feature a parade focused exclusively on
Brazil’s transgender community.

REVIEW: _HOW FINANCE WRECKED DEMOCRACY_
[[link removed]]
_Grace Blakeley_ / Jacobin (Brooklyn)
All over the world, citizens are developing new models of local
democracy to facilitate public involvement in decision-making. It’s
visible everywhere from Reykjavik, where a participatory budgeting
process allocates more funding to tackling homelessness, to Rosario,
where local Argentinians resist gentrification and build a network of
cooperatives that could serve the needs of their community.
