Lawyers Build New Infrastructure To Fight Deportation Machine

June 14, 2026 Marianne Dhenin, Truthout. Organize! Deportations, Detention Centers, Immigrant Rights, Lawyers, Legal System

Coalitions of attorneys, rights groups, and other organizations are developing a powerful new infrastructure to challenge the Trump administration’s mass deportation machine. Several so-called habeas projects have been created in states or regions across the country in recent months to connect noncitizens facing unlawful detention with pro bono attorneys who can file habeas corpus petitions on their behalf in federal court. “When it became clear that the administration had made it its priority to prevent people from accessing bond and immigration courts and, really the mission of the administration seems to be to keep people in detention for as long as possible, we saw a need to help facilitate access to the federal courts,” Christy Rodriguez.

ICE Will Be At The World Cup, But Organizers Are Ready

June 12, 2026 Victoria Valenzuela, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Community Defense, ICE, Unions, world cup

With the World Cup starting on June 11, workers, residents and activists in its 16 host cities across North America are mobilizing against the increased presence of police and of Immigration Customs and Enforcement, or ICE, in communities of color during the World Cup. On May Day, thousands of people, led by the Unite HERE Local 11 union of hospitality workers walked from Los Angeles’ MacArthur Park to the FIFA building downtown, where they proceeded to drop more than a hundred soccer balls down the steps, chanting “kick ICE out.”

Respect Is the Foundation Of Organizing

June 9, 2026 Ellen David Freidman, Labor Notes. Organize! Rank and File, Unions, Worker Rights, Working Class

Solidarity among co-workers is your source of power against the employer. And one essential ingredient for solidarity is respect. In the workplace we typically don’t experience respect—we experience coercion. No matter how much the boss may call us “partners” or claim “we’re a family here,” the employment relationship is fundamentally undemocratic: The employer makes the decisions, and workers are required to comply. The union must be different in its DNA. Starting with the first building block of organizing, the one-on-one conversation, your goal is to show your respect for your co-workers.

Education Strikes Across Spanish State Demonstrate Power Of Self-Organization

June 4, 2026 Pola Posen, Left Voice. Organize! Education, Spain, Strike, Teachers

On Wednesday, the yellow shirts of hundreds of teachers shone in the scorching Catalan sun as they flooded onto the AP7, a key highway that connects Barcelona to France and the rest of Europe. As far as the eye could see, trucks slowed to a halt: the Catalan general education sector strike had successfully blocked the movement of goods along the highway. The strike extended to every part of the education sector: even private summer camps were shut down by the strike. Mobilizations burst onto the streets — across the region, tens of thousands of teachers and allies rallied and blocked main roads.

Bring Member Power To The Table By Opening Up Bargaining

June 3, 2026 Dan DiMaggio, Labor Notes. Organize! Contract Negotiations, Rank and File, Transparency, Unions

Since electing new leadership in 2022, Teamsters Local 135 in Indiana has completely changed the way it conducts negotiations. It’s using open bargaining to revitalize the local. Under the previous leadership, a small bargaining team negotiated behind closed doors. Gag orders ensured that members would know nothing about negotiations until an agreement was presented for a vote. “It would be the business agent and a couple of stewards,” says business agent Robert Doolin, who started out in 1998 at a warehouse that supplies Kroger. “I always hated this. The company would always try to put a gag order on negotiations.”

Unions Make Slight Gains In South, Mirroring National Trends

June 2, 2026 Chris Kromm, Portside. Organize! Labor Movement, The South, Unions, Worker Rights

The share of Southern workers in unions slightly increased in 2025, mirroring a small uptick in unionization nationally, according to government data released in February. The Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers showed that 14.7 million workers belonged to a union in 2025, an increase of 463,000 from 2024 and the highest number of unionized workers in the U.S. since 2009. Labor unions added 166,000 workers in 13 Southern states, with Georgia registering by far the biggest gains: 62,000 more Georgia employees belonged to a union in 2025 than in 2024.

All To London For The International Anti-War conference

June 1, 2026 The Canary. Organize! Antiwar Movement, International Conference, Peace, United Kingdom (UK)

We’re hurtling towards more wars and greater global instability, with the governments of Europe responding with massive rearmament programmes and increasing moves towards conscription. So we urgently need a mass movement for peace to break with the worldview of the likes of Donald Trump and Tony Blair. The International Conference Against War on 20 June in central London will be a unique and historic step to building it. Over 1,700 people from the UK and across Europe have bought tickets so far and, with international speakers, this will be a truly world-wide solidarity conference. Speakers are coming from France, Palestine, Belgium, the UK, the US, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain and Sweden.

Union Coalition Brings ‘Billionaires Tax’ Proposal To Illinois

May 30, 2026 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. Organize! Billionaires, Illinois, Unions, Wealth Tax

Chicago - The “billionaires tax” idea, which has been gaining support in several states—including Washington state, where it’s now law—has come to Illinois, courtesy Chicago-area unions. After a morning press conference in Chicago, busloads of members of the Chicago Teachers Union, SEIU Healthcare Illinois, Cook County College Teachers Union Local 1600, SEIU Local 73, the Illinois Federation of Teachers, Warehouse Workers for Justice, and assorted progressive Chicago-area community groups descended on the state capital of Springfield.

The Time For A US Arms Embargo On Israel Is Now

May 29, 2026 Josh Ruebner, Mondoweiss. Organize! arms embargo, Congress, Genocide, Israel

Israel’s standing among the U.S. public is at an all-time low after Americans have witnessed two- and-one-half years of live-streamed Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, fueled by tens of billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer-provided weapons and diplomatic cover. Last August, a Quinnipiac poll found that 60 percent of all Americans, including 75 percent of Democrats and 66 percent of independents, opposed U.S. military funding for Israel while only 32 percent supported it. Even Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to recognize the unpopularity of asking U.S. taxpayers to further subsidize weapons to Israel.

Black Trade Unionists: Labor Rights And Civil Rights Are One Fight

May 23, 2026 Cameron Harrison, People's World. Organize! Civil Rights, Labor Movement, Unions, Voting Rights

Atlanta—Hundreds of mostly Black trade unionists from across the country packed the Hyatt Regency downtown Thursday as the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU) opened its 55th International Convention with a sober assessment: The labor movement is under its most severe attack in a generation, and no one is coming to save them but themselves. At this year’s convention, the CBTU is dedicating itself to building its own political roadmap that is rooted in the understanding that labor rights and civil rights are one fight. And, according to the workers here, they are not waiting for permission.

How To Expand Your Reach As A Troublemaker

May 23, 2026 Lisa Xu, Labor Notes. Organize! Communication, Lists, Movement building, Unions

Effective troublemakers need many skills. One of the most important, though not the most glamorous, is list-building. If you otherwise have the fundamentals of organizing in place but you’re still struggling to reach more people, make sure you’re paying attention to your list and not leaving an opportunity on the table. What is a list? Well, it’s a list of your co-workers. It should contain their names, of course, but also each person’s job, their department or shift, and how to get in touch with them, especially their phone number and email address.

Activists In Bucharest Conference Reject Militarization

May 21, 2026 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Organize! Elbit, European Union (EU), Militarization, Palestine, Romania

As Romania prepared to host a Bucharest Nine (B9) summit and the Black Sea Defense, Aerospace and Security arms exposition, over 100 people gathered to discuss anti-militarization and solidarity with Palestine at the “From Palestine to the Black Sea” counter-conference. The meeting followed months of work through the Elbit Out! campaign, aiming to unmask and drive Israeli arms producer Elbit System out of the country, where several of its subsidiaries currently operate. A day before the counter-conference launched on May 9, Palestine solidarity activists organized a protest in front of one of these subsidiaries in Chitila near Bucharest, warning that its production lines include drone variants used in the genocide in Gaza.

The Climate Crisis As A Crisis Of Modern Men

May 18, 2026 Matthew Green, DeSmog. Organize! climate crisis, Gender Roles, Masculinity, Patriarchy

From the revelations in the Epstein Files to the misogynistic influencers featured in the Inside the Mansopshere documentary by Louis Theroux, to attacks on women’s rights under the Trump administration and CNN’s shocking report on an ‘online rape academy‘, abuses of power by men have rarely been more visible. At the same time, many men are questioning the inherited patriarchal models of masculinity fuelling the climate crisis and a host of other environmental and social ills, seeking to integrate nobler qualities of service, stewardship and protection of the vulnerable into the idea of what it means to be man.

Three Pillars Of Civil Resistance: Lessons From The Twin Cities

May 17, 2026 Paul Bauknight and Bill Droessler, Next City. Organize! Community Defense, ICE, Minneapolis, Mutual Aid

On a cold morning in Minneapolis last winter, one of us stood outside a local school to ensure that all children and families could move safely to and from school without fear. Bill was there not as an official or community organizer, but as a concerned neighbor alongside other parents, volunteers, and community members. ICE’s brutalization of our people in the Twin Cities drew plenty of attention in the media and elsewhere. But what mattered most that cold day, and so many other days this winter, was not quite as public. It was what happened somewhat invisibly
