1968 And 2025: What Prospect For Resistance Inside US Military?

January 25, 2025 Johnnie Lewis, Workers' World. Organize! Gaza, Genocide, GI Resistance, Veterans, Vietnam War

A recent article in the British Guardian newspaper recounted the experiences of veterans of the U.S. military and their thoughts and feelings in opposition to the U.S.-aided and -abetted genocide on Palestinian Gaza perpetrated by Zionist Israel. This opposition is to be applauded. The U.S. military is now “all-volunteer.” So, this opposition will allow youth contemplating joining the military a different, sobering perspective. No doubt many young people already have this perspective because all branches of the military are failing to meet their recruiting quotas. My experience in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1969 was quite different from that of these veterans.

To Confront Oligarchy, Build Power At The Community Level

January 25, 2025 Patrick Mazza, Resilience. Organize! Bioregions, Community organizing, Corporatocracy, oligarchy

A consistent theme through my life has been to understand our world, to assemble a comprehensive picture the best I can, respecting the world’s boggling complexity and the limits of any one mind to grasp it all. What has long been clear to me is that our world is on a systematically wrong way path. Three trends are in the foreground – the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, ecological overshoot and increasing economic disparity. Together they shape what many have called the polycrisis. From the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis with its nuclear war close call, which happened around my 10th birthday, the insanity of piling up weapons of mass destruction has recurrently come to the foreground.

Make Sure Union Meetings Don’t Resemble The Work Meetings You Hate

January 24, 2025 Cynthia Roy, Labor Notes. Organize! Labor Movement, Meetings, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Too often at school, we educators feel unappreciated and disrespected. In committee and faculty meetings, we share our knowledge and insights only to be ignored. If we don’t stop to reflect and think critically about these experiences, we may end up adopting the same hierarchical and oppressive practices as the administration, and our union meetings start to resemble the work meetings that we hate. But your union is yours to shape. You can make your local union meetings a space where members are heard and can make a difference.

January 22, 2025 Aubrey Whelan, Portside. Organize! Doctors, Health Care, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Eight in 10 doctors-in-training in Philadelphia are now represented by unions, following a wave of labor organizing across major health systems in the region. Doctors at three Philadelphia health systems and Delaware's largest health provider voted to join the Committee of Interns and Residents, a division of the Service Employees International Union. The move follows a national trend of physicians unionizing around the country, as doctors increasingly look for solutions to burnout in a field now dominated by large health system employers.

January 18, 2025 The Canary. Organize! Health Care, NHS, Privatization, Profiteers, United Kingdom (UK)

In 2025, campaign group EveryDoctor is stepping up its work to save the NHS from privatisation, and build a functioning, flourishing healthcare system for patients and staff alike. However, there’s work to do. The group wants to grow its following from thousands, to a vibrant patient and staff community of millions. It feels it will take nothing short of this to turn things around because: millions of people are currently being profoundly failed by politicians In short, the group aims to transform its campaign community into something more: a movement. Its ambitious goal comes amidst another spate of alarming news stories over the appalling state of things in the NHS.

Mutual Aid Networks Are Mobilizing Amid Los Angeles Fires

January 18, 2025 Schuyler Mitchell, Truthout. Organize! Extreme weather, Housing Crisis, Los Angeles, Mutual Aid, Wildfires

I’ve always said that Los Angeles is a mirror: Whatever you’re seeking, you’ll find it reflected back to you. Sure, the city has its ugly parts — celebrity worship and diet fads and smog that blots out the sky — but Los Angeles’ true core is multitudinous. Home to about 13 million people, the sprawling metropolis brims with countless communities and enclaves, neighborhoods and histories. If the ugly is all you see, then you’re not looking hard enough. Since the Palisades and Eaton fires roared to life last week, Los Angeles residents have shown how much strength and solidarity lies in their communities.

Improved Medicare For All Can Heal This Sick Country

January 18, 2025 Kay Tillow, Judy Albert, Claire M. Cohen, Ed Grystar and Ana Malinow, Common Dreams. Organize! Health Care, Medicare, Medicare for all, Single-Payer

It’s the beginning of the end for corporate control of health care. The tsunami of outrage against the health insurance industry in the wake of the shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, can propel an urgent, unyielding demand for the removal of profit from healthcare and the enactment of a universal, national single payer system. That is, if the single payer, Medicare for All, national health service movement can summon the vision and audacity to rise to the occasion.

The War On Africans In Ecuador

On January 8th, one month after the disappearance of the boys, a chigualo commemorative march was held throughout the neighborhood of Las Malvinas.

As Fires Rage, Activists Put Price-Gouging Landlords On Notice

January 15, 2025 Rebecca Burns, In These Times. Organize! Affordable Housing, Los Angeles, Price Gouging, Tenants, Wildfires

A four-bedroom home advertised for nearly $29,500 a month. Bidding wars for vacant apartments. As anecdotal reports rolled in of rent-gouging amidst Los Angeles’ devastating wildfires, tenant organizer Chelsea Kirk thought, “We need to be tracking this.” So over the weekend, Kirk launched a public spreadsheet noting Zillow listings that appear to show a more-than-10% hike in the recent asking price, the maximum allowable under state emergency protections currently in effect. News of the crowdsourcing effort spread quickly and a team of more than 40 volunteers is now helping root out potential price-gouging.

West Bloomfield, Michigan — More than 100 of Nour Abubars’ relatives in Gaza have been killed by Israel over the past year, according to the grim tallies she receives from family members. Her cousin Asma and Asma’s teenaged sons were killed in the August 2024 Fajr Massacre, a bombing during prayer at a school where they sheltered in Gaza City. Two days before Election Day, Abubars, 30, sat in her home outside Detroit contemplating whether to vote, considering that America sent the bombs that killed her family. “I’m one of those people that believe that it’s very selfish not to vote, but this time around, I cannot make a decision,” she says.

On Oct. 1, 2024, tenants at two Kansas City, Missouri, apartment complexes started a rent strike. Residents of Independence Towers and Quality Hill Towers, organized under KC Tenants and a newly formed national coalition known as the Tenant Union Federation, had been asking their landlords to fix their dilapidated buildings for two years. They demanded repairs, called for collectively bargained leases, and agitated for the federal government to force the sale of the apartment complexes to more responsible owners.

The Unrelenting Violence Against Black Youth In Latin America:

January 11, 2025 Janvieve Williams Comrie, Black Agenda Report. Organize! Ecuador, Rascism, State Violence, Youth

The December 2024 murders of four Afro-Ecuadorian boys in Guayaquil’s Las Malvinas neighborhood have laid bare the entrenched racism and neglect faced by Black communities in Ecuador. Ismael and Josué Arroyo, of 15 and 14 years of age, Nehemías Arboleda, 15, and Steven Medina 11, disappeared on December 8th, their dismembered bodies discovered days later near a military base. This heinous act has drawn national and international condemnation, with demands for justice and accountability growing louder. The government’s response—a state of emergency and curfew in Guayaquil and other areas until at least March 3, 2025—has been criticized for its misplaced focus.
