SCIENTISTS CONFRONT CLIMATE CRISIS
[[link removed]]
_Clément Gibon_ / Equal Times (Brussels)
From Scientists for Extinction Rebellion, to Scientist Rebellion and
the A22 Network (which includes Just Stop Oil, Declare Emergency,
Dernière Rénovation and Renovate Switzerland, among others),
environmental movements composed of activists identifying as
scientists have multiplied across the world. Scientists from every
field are participating in civil disobedience.

JAPANESE LEFT ON UKRAINE WAR

_Shaun O’Dwyer_ / Commons (Kyiv)
In parts of Japan’s left, including the JCP, Kakumaru-ha and
Zengakuren, recognition of the legitimacy of Ukraine’s armed
resistance is reflective of doctrinal flexibility on the question of
just war. These organizations have taken a keen interest in
Ukraine’s plight, and have reached out to express solidarity with
Ukrainian left organizations.

_Michele de Mello_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)
The Polisario Front, the political organization that leads the Sahrawi
Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), is holding its 16th Congress in Dajla
– one of five Sahrawi refugee camps in the town of Tindouf, Algeria.
After 30 years of ceasefire, this is the first Congress to be held
again in the context of armed confrontation with Morocco.
__________
The Left Responds to Flood Crisis in Pakistan
[[link removed]]
_Sanaa Alimia_ / Red Pepper (London)
Thirty-three million people have been affected by the floods in
Pakistan. The disaster has left more than 1,700 dead, displaced
millions and put one-third of the country under water. Three
activists from left-wing parties, representing women, students,
peasants, workers and others, speak on their responses to and readings
of the floods.
__________
ABORTION RIGHTS IN ARGENTINA: STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVES
[[link removed]]
_Lucila Szwarc_ / Spectre (New York)
The lessons from the Argentinian fight for abortion may be useful for
U.S. activists. Here are five strategies that local feminists and
their allies deployed to build the movement for the legalization of
abortion in Argentina, many of them reflecting transnational feminist
experiences.
__________
TURMOIL IN SOUTH AFRICAN LABOR
[[link removed]]MOVEMENT
[[link removed]]
_Dingane Xaba_ / Unicorn Riot (Minneapolis)
Union leaders met on Nov. 29 to discuss escalation plans, though to
date, no further plans have been announced by COSATU, SAFTU or FEDUSA.
This could be due to intensifying internal divisions within the union
alliance, in particular, SAFTU.
__________
EL SALVADOR: SOLIDARITY WITH WATER DEFENDERS
[[link removed]]
_Jessica Corbett_ / Common Dreams (Portland ME)
More than 250 organizations from 29 countries came together to
pressure the Salvadoran government to drop the charges against and
release five water defenders who were instrumental in achieving a 2017
legislative ban on metal mining in El Salvador. The activists
were detained in northern El Salvador on January 11.
