Amazon Package Drivers Rev Up Organizing To Become Direct Employees

October 9, 2026 Luis Feliz Leon, Labor Notes. Organize! Amazon, Delivery workers, New York (NY), Worker Rights

The workers who wear Amazon vests and drive vans with the company’s logo aren’t legally employed by Amazon. But that could change in New York City, under legislation that Teamsters and Amazon workers alongside the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are organizing to pass. The Delivery Protection Act would require Amazon, alongside FedEx and other companies, to directly employ drivers rather than rely on third-party subcontractors. It would also establish safety, training, and labor standards for delivery drivers. As of October 3, workers and allies had knocked on 11,446 doors across the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, according to the Teamsters.

Why Hamas Believed Status Quo More Dangerous Than 7 October Gamble

October 7, 2026 Sami Al-Arian, Black Agenda Report. Organize! Genocide, Hamas, Operation Al Aqsa Flood, Palestine

The events of 7 October cannot be understood outside the long history of Palestinian dispossession, occupation, siege and struggle. They cannot be examined seriously by beginning with the premise that Palestinians must justify their right to resist a system that has dispossessed them for generations. That right is not in question. What is open to question is why Hamas chose this particular course of action at this particular moment, and whether the decision was rational given what its leaders knew and could reasonably have anticipated before 7 October.

The War In Sudan Is Teaching Society To Govern Without The State

October 1, 2026 Eglal Hamid Abdulgadir, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Governance, Mutual Aid, Sudan, Wars and Militarism

What if one of the most consequential political effects of Sudan’s war is not simply that the state collapsed, but that millions of people were forced to discover what society could organize without it? In Sudan, that discovery did not begin with a political declaration. In many places, it began with food. Khalid, a young man who had been involved in Sudan’s resistance committees during the revolution, was among those who remained in his city after many residents fled. Some of those who left already knew him and the other young people who stayed.

German Amazon Workers Organize To Get Paid For Every Minute

September 29, 2026 Luis Feliz Leon, Labor Notes. Organize! Amazon, Germany, Wage Theft, Worker Rights

Amazon workers at four delivery and sorting warehouses in Germany are organizing to make every minute count. They’re demanding that Amazon pay them for every minute of work, saying in a petition that the company is stealing their time. Working even 10 unpaid minutes a day, the workers say, adds up to 4.5 workdays per year of free labor, or about $712 U.S. (618 euros) in stolen wages. And at the most extreme, stolen time can reach up to 45 minutes per day. The petition identifies three ways Amazon is stealing workers’ time

Union Hall Arts Residency Blends Organizing And Creative Power

September 27, 2026 Danielle Francisca, People's World. Organize! Art, Detroit, Labor Movement, Unions

Detroit—“The artist must take sides,” famed singer, actor, and activist Paul Robeson proclaimed in 1937. “He must elect to fight for freedom or slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative.” Robeson took his stand in a speech given in support of the People’s Front fighting against fascism in the Spanish Civil War, making clear the role of artists in the fight against suppressive regimes. Red Scare intimidation tactics and FBI harassment are often associated with Robeson, but more than that, his life was also defined by art, camaraderie, and a love for humanity. He believed steadfastly that artists must step up in the struggle for a better world.

Unique Indigenous Gathering Issues Hard-Hitting Landmark Declaration

September 25, 2026 Survival International. Organize! Conservation, forced displacement, Indigenous Activism, Land Reform

Nairobi: A unique gathering of Indigenous people impacted by conservation has demanded that “our ancestral lands, including those grabbed for parks and wildlife sanctuaries, be returned.” The Nairobi Declaration, issued today by the newly-formed Indigenous Lands Alliance, also contains a blunt ultimatum to well-known conservation bodies, including WWF, WCS, African Parks, UNESCO and others: “Leave our lands and respect our rights, or else we shall kick you out.” The Our Land, Our Nature gathering brought together for the first time Indigenous representatives from around the world who are fighting conservation – to expose the human cost of fortress conservation and carbon markets, while presenting Indigenous-led alternatives.

Rebooting The Tech Worker Movement

September 24, 2026 J. S. Tan and Clarissa Redwine, Dissent Magazine. Organize! Big Tech, Job Security, Public pressure, Tech Workers, Worker Rights

When we speak to new workers entering tech, few seem to know about the ferocious activism that spread through the industry a little less than a decade ago. Back then, these battles seemed to be happening everywhere, grabbing headlines in major outlets, week after week, for years on end, from Google and Microsoft employees’ fight against military contracts to Amazon workers’ open letter against the online retailer’s complicity in the climate crisis. According to a recent research paper—co-authored by one of us, JS Tan—such campaigns went from just four cases in 2017 to nearly fifty in 2019, coalescing into something unmistakable: a tech worker movement.

How To Combat Fear At The Polls This November

September 23, 2026 Eileen Flanagan, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Elections, Nonviolence Training, Violence, Voting Rights

The forces of authoritarianism want us to feel knocked off center by the many ways they are trying to keep people from voting. Trump administration officials continue to suggest that ICE, FBI or other federal agents could be sent to polling places. It’s important that election volunteers and voters stay grounded to avoid playing into their hands. One danger is that fearful voters will just stay home, whether or not the administration carries out their threats. Another danger is that we resist any government interference in ways that increase the chaos, which Trump would use to bolster his narrative that the left is the real threat.

AutoZone Workers Are Trying To Form The Company’s First Union

September 22, 2026 Luis Feliz Leon, Labor Notes. Organize! AutoZone, union busting, Unions, Worker Rights

“It’s like hitting a fly with a mallet,” said Michael DiGuiseppe, vice president of Local 259. “At the first whiff of a union, they had their corporate executives in the store the next day. They’ve been camped out at a hotel around the corner since, and it’s been going on for two months.” Managers have been pulling workers into meetings for antiunion propaganda and closely surveilling them to assess union support and chill the organizing. “They’ve had more corporate executive union-busters in the store than workers,” said DiGiuseppe. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that U.S. employers spend $1.7 billion annually on union-busting consultants and law firms.

How We Won Our Co-Worker Her Rightful Promotion

September 20, 2026 Bevin Barber-Campbell and Tim Rousseau, Labor Notes. Organize! Retaliation, Unions, Vermont, Worker Rights

Workers at Hunger Mountain Co-op, a consumer-owned grocery store in Montpelier, Vermont, won a five-month fight to enforce seniority, beat back bias, and win a promotion for a beloved co-worker. We did it not just by filing a grievance, but also by mobilizing union members and the public. The fight began last December when Genesis Van Dyke applied for a production cook position in the prepared foods department. Van Dyke had been working at the co-op full-time for seven years, was fully qualified and valued by her co-workers—and was the only applicant for the job.

Massive Public Transit Win Shows The Power Of Grassroots Coalitions

September 19, 2026 Miguel Molina-Ventura and Amy Rynell, Truthout. Organize! Chicago, Grassroots, Public Transit, Transportation

After years of organizing by a coalition of transit, environmental, and community organizing groups, the Chicago region’s transit system began an important new chapter on September 1 as the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA). The new system was created by the NITA Act, which was signed by Gov. JB Pritzker in December 2025. The new legislation raises $1.5 billion in new revenue and creates a unified agency to better connect transit service across the region. Two years ago, it seemed like the transit system could face cuts of up to 40 percent due to an end to federal COVID relief funding.
