FURIOUS MESSAGES OF HOPE FROM THE GLOBAL SOUTH
[[link removed]]
_Gabes Torres_ / Yes! (Poulsbo WA)
[GLM MODERATOR _says thanks and a heartfelt farewell to Yes! Magazine,
a voice for peace and justice that has recently closed operations.
They will be missed._]
To those of you in the United States, the organizers, activists,
community workers, and everyday people of the Global South are writing
to you about hope, the kind of hope fierce enough to confront the
suffering caused by systemic oppression, and one that tactfully and
persistently fights to put an end to it.

NOBEL LAUREATES: WAKE UP TO THE FASCIST DANGER
[[link removed]]
The Guardian (London)
In 1925, the Italian intellectual Benedetto Croce wrote the first
Manifesto of Anti-Fascist Intellectuals, knowing that he had the right
to speak and the duty to respond to the rise of Fascism in Italy. A
century later, intellectuals from around the world are raising the
alarm and speaking out against the return of Fascism.

INDIAN PARTIES DENOUNCE MODI ATTACKS ON MAOISTS
[[link removed]]
ML Update (New Delhi)
In a joint move reflecting growing alarm over escalating state
violence in Chhattisgarh, five Left parties have written to Prime
Minister Narendra Modi on June 9 demanding an immediate halt to
extra-judicial killings being carried out under the guise of
“Operation Kagar”.
__________
ANTICOMMUNISM IN CZECHIA
[[link removed]]
_Pavel Šplíchal_ / Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières (Paris)
The Czech Chamber of Deputies approved the de facto criminalisation of
the communist movement and its propagation. Anti-communism is usually
popular in Czechia, but it has fallen flat this time. It no longer
functions even as a caricature of the fight for freedom against
authoritarianism.
__________
UGANDA: OPPOSITION TO PIPELINE
[[link removed]]
_Elodie Toto_ / Equal Times (Brussels)
“We will keep protesting until our demands are met,” says Ibrahim
Mpiima, team leader of Justice Movement Uganda, a student-led protest
group of around a hundred members opposing the East African Crude Oil
Pipeline Project (EACOP)—the world’s longest heated oil pipeline.

_Peter Rossman_ / Global Labor Column (Johannesburg)
Dan Gallin, former general secretary of the International Union of
Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied
Workers’ Associations, passed away at his home in Geneva,
Switzerland, on 31 May at the age of 94. His many decades of militant
commitment leave a rich legacy upon which to build.
