The Reparations Movement: Flourishing Amid Backlash

October 21, 2025 Peter Certo, Institute for Policy Studies. Organize! City Government, Racism, Reparations, State Legislatures

Across the United States, the demand for reparations has moved from the margins of debate to the center of local and state politics. While federal legislation has stalled for decades, cities like Evanston, Illinois, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as states like California, are pioneering concrete steps to repair the harms of slavery, segregation, and systemic racism. From housing initiatives and educational funds to community development projects, these efforts are reshaping how justice can be pursued in practice. In his new report for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung New York Office, author John Feffer examines the resurgence of the reparations movement at a time when national politics are marked by backlash and regression on civil rights.

October 20, 2025 Brasil De Fato, People's Dispatch. Organize! Brazil, History, International Solidarity, Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST), US Imperialism, Venezuela

The national leader of Brazil’s Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST), João Pedro Stédile, announced that popular movements across Latin America are working in coordination to send brigades of activists to Venezuela in solidarity with the country’s government and people, amid growing threats of a possible US military intervention. “We, as movements in Latin America, are holding meetings and consultations to organize, as soon as possible, internationalist brigades of activists from each of our countries to go to Venezuela and stand alongside the government and the Venezuelan people,” said Stédile in an interview with Radio BdF.

As Trump Escalates ICE Raids, Local Community Defense Networks Grow

October 18, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. Organize! Community Defense, ICE, ICE Raids, Immigrant Solidarity, Immigration, Solidarity, Trump Administration, Virginia

The Trump administration has pledged to continue ramping up the controversial operations to detain and deport immigrants. Yet, as his threats intensify, the movement in defense of immigrant rights is rapidly growing and taking shape from the grassroots. In Chicago, people are standing up to federal agents armed and ready to deploy tear gas and pepper spray. Army veterans in Portland are urging federal troops to disobey Trump’s orders, and in Colorado, residents are rejecting the conversion of several private prisons into ICE detention centers.

Weathering Backlash With Care Infrastructure

October 16, 2025 Briana M. Bivens, In These Times. Organize! Communism, Highlander School, Labor Movement, The South

In 1938, parents in the white, working-class Appalachian community of Summerfield, Tenn., staged a sit-in against an anti-communist school board trying to close a new cooperative nursery school. The chair of the Grundy County Board of Education initially agreed the nursery school could share space in the public school building. Once he discovered it was run by the Highlander Folk School — a leftist social movement school that aimed to grow a multiracial labor movement — the board demanded it vacate, having decided in 1932 to prohibit Highlander from using county school buildings on the grounds that, according to historian John Glen, “they taught ‘political matters’ that were ‘Red or communist in appearance.’”

Sudan’s People Are Rebuilding Their Capital Without Government Help

October 16, 2025 Aunnab Elman, Next City. Organize! Infrastructure, Reconstruction, Sudan, Wars and Militarism

On a scorching morning in Al-Kalakla, southern Khartoum, Mohammed Rizq stood among rubble with a notebook in his hand, directing dozens of volunteers half his age. The 21-year-old high school student with metalworking training pointed toward a broken water station, its generator stolen by Rapid Support Forces during the paramilitary’s occupation of Sudan’s capital. He divided the group into teams: clear the rubble, salvage usable bricks, dig trenches to repair pipes the RSF had destroyed. “When I rebuild my neighborhood, it feels like I am rebuilding my life from the ground up,” Rizq says, standing where his elementary school once stood before artillery reduced it to debris.

‘Hands Off NYC’ Coalition Forms To Resist Potential Trump Crackdown

October 14, 2025 Adam Daly, Portside. Organize! Donald Trump, Immigrant Solidarity, New York City (NYC), Unions

Over 100 New York City unions, civil rights groups and community organizations launched a citywide campaign Thursday to “protect and prepare” the city from potential federal or military intervention, calling on New Yorkers to link arms in the years ahead to keep President Donald Trump’s “hands off” the city. The Hands Off NYC campaign — backed by the city’s largest labor unions and civic groups, including 1199SEIU, 32BJ SEIU, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the New York Immigration Coalition — held a rally at City Hall Park alongside elected officials to unveil what organizers described as a coordinated effort to train residents, build neighborhood communication networks and mount a nonviolent defense if President Donald Trump deploys National Guard troops to the city.

23 Unions Plan To Strike Together If Kaiser Fails To Address Crises

October 12, 2025 Tyler Walicek, Truthout. Organize! Health Care, Kaiser Permanente, Strikes, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

“Our patients deserve the best, not mediocrity.” This phrase has been emblazoned across graphics on the social media feeds of the Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals (OFNHP), an American Federation of Teachers affiliate, Local 5017. The roughly 6,000 health care professionals of the OFNHP are locked in a contract fight with their employer, Kaiser Permanente, the sprawling health care consortium. The mediocrity in question is not that of the staffers themselves; instead, it warns of the impending consequences for staff and patients alike of the workplace stressors to which Kaiser’s tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, technicians, and others are systematically subjected.

LA Tenants’ Strikes Forced A Major Landlord To Refund Opaque Utility Fees

October 11, 2025 Roshan Abraham, Next City. Organize! Housing, Los Angeles, renter's rights, Tenant Union, Unions

When Joe Porter, a 29-year-old video editor, moved into his 400-square-foot studio apartment in Los Angeles four years ago, his bills for water, trash removal and pest control were bundled together into one monthly payment that came out to about $60. After the first few years, Porter said, his bill increased to about $200. When he asked his landlord – the giant real estate investment trust Equity Residential — for an explanation, he was told billing was done by a third party and that Equity could not provide a more detailed breakdown. Like many landlords of multifamily buildings, Equity uses a billing method called ratio utility billing systems (RUBS). Landlords who use this system divvy up the costs of the building’s total utilities usage according to each unit’s square footage and number of tenants.

Labor Needs An Independent Political Program

October 9, 2025 Jenny Brown, Labor Notes. Organize! Democrats, General Strike 2028, Independent Politics, Labor Movement, Populism, Unions, Working Class

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain recently laid out four priorities he says should form the nucleus of a workers’ political program. And he said that a broad strike in May 2028 is one way to fight for those priorities. Fain spoke on September 30 at the release of a new report by the Center for Working Class Politics and allied groups. The report, titled “Democrats’ Rust Belt Struggles and the Promise of Independent Politics,” is based on a new survey showing that workers in four states battered by decades of mass layoffs—Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin—are eager to see their basic issues addressed in the political arena.

Irish Groups Launch Fightback Against Rising Racism

October 7, 2025 Joe Glenton, The Canary. Organize! Fascism, Ireland, Racism, Refugees

With racism and right-wing extremism on the rise across Ireland, civil society groups are fighting back. The North West Anti-Racism Charter will launch this today, 7 October, at Derry’s Guildhall. Developed by Bloody Sunday Trust, the North West Migrants Forum and the Irish Network Against Racism, the charter is: A statement of intent, providing a way for businesses, organisations, community groups, schools, and individuals to push back against the rise of racist messaging and actions in the region. Far-right racism has been on the rise in Ireland for some time. Extremist groups in the Republic and the north have increasingly tried to blame migrants for social issues. The Canary recently reported how young people have been swept up by bigoted rhetoric and disinformation.

As Trump Crushes Climate Efforts, Local Projects Persevere

October 5, 2025 Greg Harman, Portside. Organize! Austerity, climate crisis, Community activism, Fossil Fuels, Trump Administration

Standing before the United Nations last week, U.S. President Donald Trump unleashed long-held animosity for the body dating back decades to when his company was apparently rejected for a renovations gig. Trump swore he would have delivered mahogany walls and marble floors to the tower. And now look at the state of the place, he grumbled. “You walk on terrazzo. Do you notice that?” Something far worse than composite flooring is in store for nations that fail to rally to Trump’s hypernationalism, anti-immigrant fervor, and fawning embrace of fossil fuels. “Your countries are going to hell,” he said, apparently addressing his comments primarily to the “English-speaking world.”

What Is Gen Z 212, The Group Behind The Protests In Morocco?

October 2, 2025 Elodie Farge, Middle East Eye. Organize! Austerity, Corruption, Gen Z, Morocco, Youth Activism

Morocco has been rocked by huge demonstrations since Saturday, calling for better government services and an end to corruption. During the first three days, the rallies, which have been banned and suppressed by the authorities, were largely non-violent - a principle that the organisers have repeatedly insisted on. However, on Tuesday clashes erupted with law enforcement in several cities across the North African kingdom. They continued on Wednesday, leading to the killing of three young men by the police and hundreds of people being injured. Since the start of the protests, authorities have made hundreds of arrests. In Rabat, more than 200 demonstrators were detained during the first three days, and more than 400 people were arrested after the latest violence. Over 130 people are due to stand trial.

Fisherfolk Resisting Imperialism: The Palmarito Afro-Descendant Commune

October 1, 2025 Chris Gilbert and Cira Pascual Marquina, Orinoco Tribune. Organize! Afro-Venezuelas, Communes, Resistance, US Sanctions, Venezuela, Working Class

On the southern shore of Lake Maracaibo, Palmarito is an Afro-Venezuelan community shaped by centuries of history, culture, and resilience. Its people carry forward traditions rooted in their African heritage and in the fishing trade. Central to Palmarito’s way of life is the socialist commune, a form of popular self-government that transforms everyday life and work into a shared project. The town is part of the “pueblos santos,” a cluster of Afro-descendant communities bound together by devotion to San Benito of Palermo, the “Black saint,” and the ritual rhythms of the Chimbánguele. Life in Palmarito has always revolved around the lake—its fish provide sustenance and its water routes connect those living along its shores. From the struggle against enslavement and the creation of maroon communities to today’s communal self-governance, Palmarito’s story is one of resistance and collective action.

Venezuela Resistance Meeting In New York City Sets A New Tone

September 30, 2025 Sara Flounders and Tom Burke, Workers' World. Organize! New York City (NYC), Solidarity, US Imperialism, US Military Intervention, Venezuela, Venezuela solidarity

A packed Assembly Hall at the prestigious Riverside Church in Manhattan was draped in Venezuelan colors and flags of resistance on Thursday, September 25. The exciting solidarity event with Venezuela resounded with drumming and chants throughout the evening. A well-organized security ensured that the meeting went forth without disruption or interference. The September 25 event was a determined public meeting of forces who refuse to be silent in the face of President Trump’s violent military attacks on Venezuela and threatened repression of left forces in the U.S. The solidarity meeting with the Venezuelan delegation to the United Nations General Assembly High Level Session was the initiative of Dozthor Zurlent of the Simon Bolivar Institute and William Camacaro of Bolivarian Circle in New York.

Socialist Movement Of Ghana Renews Commitment To Pan-African Unity, Socialist Transformation

September 27, 2025 Kate Janse Van Rensburg, People's Dispatch. Organize! Ghana, International Solidarity, Pan-African unity, Socialism

Convened under the theme, “Imperialism in Crisis: Pan-African Solidarity and Socialist Transformation,” the Second National Delegates Congress of the Socialist Movement of Ghana (SMG) concluded on Sunday, September 21, at the Amílcar Cabral School in Agynoa, Aburi. Bringing together 300 delegates from across Ghana, the Congress discussed the national and international situation, reviewed the work of the movement’s youth and women’s wings, and strengthened the organization’s constitution. The Congress recognized that global capitalism, particularly its neoliberal form, was in a profound crisis. Delegates argued that the “system’s reliance on exploiting labor, extracting resources, and concentrating wealth inevitably led to inequality, environmental destruction, international chaos and imperialist wars.”
