** What we'll discuss
------------------------------------------------------------

Centuries of structural inequalities and racism in the US, Trump’s catastrophic handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and yet another black man’s death at the hands of US law enforcement witnessed in national and global news have created the explosive country-wide mass uprising there that we see now.

Deep-seated anger over frequent police killings of black Americans ignited a wave of anti-racist resistance both in the USA and worldwide. Around the world, in rich and poor countries, the pandemic has highlighted inequalities kept in place by rigged rules from unjust structures and institutions. Anti-poor trade rules, debt-traps that re-colonised entire countries and systemically racist migration policies put corporate profit above human life and the environment and pave the way for the rise of the far right and white supremacists.

The only alternative is cooperation, solidarity and resistance in order to democratise society’s resources for the common good. We need to build a form of internationalism built around meeting people’s needs and prioritising a dignified life for everyone on the planet.
