FREEDOM FLOTILLA
[[link removed]]
_Yara Hawari_ / Al Jazeera (Doha)
The calls for massive aid flotillas to Gaza are getting louder despite
the dangerous attack on last month’s ship, the Conscience, and this
week’s seizing of the Madleen. According to flotilla organizer
Huwaida Arraf, there will be more to come. “And let the next time
we launch a boat to Gaza, let it not be one boat. Let it be hundreds
or thousands of boats breaking the siege.”

MOVEMENTS AND POLITICS IN SERBIA
[[link removed]]
_Lela Vujanić_ / Jacobin (Brooklyn)
A whole new world has opened up, and within it, a new kind of
politics: horizontal, directly democratic, grounded in blockade and
strike tactics, and open to greater unionization and support for labor
struggles. Alongside this, a new kind of culture has emerged, marked
by (transgenerational) solidarity, empathy, and nonviolence.
__________
MOBILIZING GRASSROOTS POWER FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE JUSTICE
[[link removed]]
_José T. Bravo and Nona Chai_ / NACLA Report (New York)
Upcoming Paris Agreement implementation talks on climate must commit
to several indispensable actions for co-creating livable communities
based on Just Transition and Indigenous Just Transition Principles, in
all stages of climate policymaking. These solutions include
participatory budgetary processes and providing just transition
funding to the most affected communities.

YEMEN: WOMEN RISING

_Luisa Toscane_ / Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières (Paris)
Yemeni women have taken to the streets in their thousands in recent
weeks. They have demanded water, electricity, a better standard of
living, the payment of salary arrears, improved teaching conditions, a
halt to the widespread arming of the army and the prosecution of those
responsible for corruption.
__________
PLATFORM WORKERS IN COLOMBIA
[[link removed]]
_Alfonso Buitrago_ / Equal Times (Brussels)
The struggle led by the Organization of App Workers for Colombia and
platform workers’ unions for labour reform that guarantees
formalisation ultimately aims to eliminate the informality that
defines the sector. It also seeks to ban employment models that offer
only minimal income, lack legal protections, and prioritise profit
extraction for tech companies.
__________
SUDAN WAR TARGETS ACTIVISTS
[[link removed]]
_Hamid Khalafallah_ / The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy
(Washington DC)
The war in Sudan is not only a power struggle between military
factions, but also an attempt at silencing those who dare envision a
different future for Sudan—one rooted in democracy and justice.
__________
EURO LEFT FOR PALESTINE STATEHOOD
[[link removed]]
_Walter Baier_ / Party of the European Left (Brussels)
At a decisive moment in the history of the Palestinian people’s
struggle for self-determination, the “Freedom for Palestine”
Conference was held in Paris. It convened with the objective of
establishing an “International Coalition for the Defense of
Palestinian Rights and the Protection of the Right of Return”—an
international alliance rooted in the historic struggle of peoples for
progress.
__________
INDEPENDENCE FOR WALES?
[[link removed]]
_Adam Ramsay_ / Novara Media (London)
Support for Welsh independence is now as high as that for Scottish
independence was before the 2014 referendum campaign. And the (bigger
margin of error) crosstabs suggest younger voters are strongly in
favour, registering 72% of 25 to 34-year-olds supporting
independence.
__________
INTERNATIONAL LABOR SOLIDARITY WITH MIGRANTS IN SAUDI ARABIA
[[link removed]]
_Pete Pattisson and Paul MacInnes_ / The Guardian (London)
Trade unions from 36 countries have filed a complaint with the
International Labour Organisation over the treatment of migrant
workers in Saudi Arabia. The complaint calls for a “commission of
inquiry” into labour rights in the country, one of the most powerful
tools available to the ILO, a United Nations agency.
__________
Italy: Evolution of a Movement
[[link removed]]
_Giuliano Santoro_ / il manifesto Global (Rome)
Faced with a crackdown on freedom of expression, a movement has taken
shape that has been able to adopt the method of convergence and has
kept pushing forward, showing the strength of the social ties and rich
productive relations the Meloni government has put under attack.
