Palestine Civil Society: What Now
[[link removed]]

Palestinian BDS National Committee

To remain in the streets is not a rejection of negotiation; it is a
demand that negotiations finally mean something real. Our presence is
a reminder that moral pressure must not fade simply because
politicians have found new language to disguise an old injustice. In
the absence of accountability, protest becomes an act of moral
preservation — the collective conscience refusing to be silenced.

RUSSIAN VOICES AGAINST PUTIN
[[link removed]]’S
WAR

_Simon Pirani_ / European Network for Solidarity with Ukraine

The two aggressor nations, Israel and Russia, aligned with different
geopolitical camps, are subject to analogous driving forces.
Nationalist ideology supercedes rational economic management;
expansionist violence supercedes democracy; the decline of Western
neo-liberal hegemony paves the way for militarist thuggery.
Capital’s need for social control underpins near-fascist methods of
rule.

INTERNATIONAL RESPONSES TO SUMUD FLOTILLA CAPTURE

the 40+ boats trying to break the Gaza blockade.

SERBIA’S FREE ORGANISATIONS

_Mark Johnson_ / Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières

On 5 October 2024—exactly 24 years after mass protests helped oust
Slobodan Milošević—a coalition of local civic movements announced
their formation as _Slobodne organizacije Srbije_. SOS emerged to
answer a critical strategic question: how can decentralised grassroots
resistance translate into systemic political change?

__________
LATIN AMERICA IN THE CROSSHAIRS
[[link removed]]

_Ana Cristina Carvalhaes and Luís Bonilla-Molina_ / Links (Sydney)

Why are Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela being targeted? While important,
the argument that all three governments are, in the eyes of Trump’s
neo-fascist hawks, “leftist” is insufficient. In Trumpist terms,
this just means any government it views as opposed to it on the
political-ideological spectrum, or not a direct and subservient
defender of US capital’s interests, regardless of significant
differences among them.

__________
SUDAN AND THE CALL OF GREEN OCTOBER

_Khaldah Salih and Fathima Cader_ / Africa is a Country (New York)

From Sudan to Toronto, a revolutionary poem echoes across time,
showing how people’s movements confront militarism, mining, and
imperial order with the enduring force of collective struggle. True
power is manifested through organized mass movements of regular
people.

CONVENING THE UK LEFT
[[link removed]]

_Antifabot_ / The Canary (London)

This festival, The World Transformed, showed that the ‘top-down’
approach of governing doesn’t just need dismantling within our
political parties, but also within the very core of our movement and
its grassroots mechanisms. It represents a political landscape that
has eroded so massively that younger people are filling the vacuum
left behind with what they feel their own political future should be.

__________
IMPEACHMENT, CRIME AND PROTESTS IN PERU
[[link removed]]

_Devin B. Martinez_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)

Peru’s Congress overwhelmingly voted to remove President Dina
Boluarte from office on the grounds of “permanent moral
incapacity”. The emergency session was called to debate her
impeachment amid the most recent wave of mass anti-government
protests that have been escalating since September.

__________
ITALY’S PALESTINE STRIKE: IT WASN’T SPONTANEOUS
[[link removed]]

_Davide Gallo Lassere_ / Verso (London)

After months of preparation, on September 22 a political strike was
called in Italy by the grassroots unions in solidarity with Palestine.
Its extraordinary outcome took not only the ruling classes but even
the demonstrators themselves by surprise.
