Greetings 👽comrades,
So many of us have been forced to largely live through our screens over the last year, inundated by social media and the barrage of constant international news updates, each more horrific than the last. The world feels heavy once again. As leftists, we understand just how deeply interconnected these systems of oppression are. As oppressed communities amplify their fights against imperialism and apartheid all over the globe, we remember that injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere. Cities around the world erupt in protests of support for liberation.
From 🇨🇴Colombia to Palestine, 🇵🇸we stand in unflinching solidarity with our siblings in the fight against tyranny. Keep sharing, keep speaking up. Do not lose hope. The people continue to rise, and we are rising together.
