2025 Nyéléni Global Forum On Food Sovereignty And Global Solidarity

September 26, 2025 Ecehan Balta, Internationalist Standard. Organize! Agroecology, Food Sovereigny, Popular Assemblies, Starvation, Transformation

From 6–14 September 2025, the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum on Food Sovereignty was held in Kandy, Sri Lanka, bringing together around 750 delegates from 101 countries, six regional representatives, and fifteen global movements such as the People’s Health Movement (PHM), the World Forum of Fisher Peoples (WFFP), La Vía Campesina, and the World March of Women (WMW). The forum was not merely a gathering to address immediate crises; it was a historical convergence that inherited the legacy of the previous Nyéléni forums held in 2007 in Sélingué, Mali and 2015 in Derio, Basque Country. By consolidating the declarations of the regional assemblies, the forum sought to build a shared political agenda for systemic transformation against the “multiple crises” of capitalism.

Research And Public Service Professionals Vote To Form Union

September 25, 2025 Josephine Murphy, Portside. Organize! California, Higher Education, Unions, Worker Rights

Research and public service professionals across the UC voted Tuesday to form a new union that will represent 7,200 workers. The union, Research and Public Service Professionals-United Auto Workers, will represent workers who run “core facilities,” administer grants and analyze data, among other services. About half of those who the union will represent voted in the election, with 83% voting “yes” for the union’s formation. RPSPs have cited multiple reasons for the formation of RPSP-UAW, including stagnant salaries amid increasing workloads and a lack of administrative transparency. “In the face of federal funding cuts to higher education, many RPSPs also want a union to gain a stronger political voice,” a RPSP-UAW press release said.

Wells Fargo Workers Push To Bring A Union To The Banking Industry

September 24, 2025 Dan DiMaggio, Labor Notes. Organize! Banking, Unions, Wells Fargo, Worker Rights and Jobs

Workers at Wells Fargo are organizing the first union at a major U.S. bank—in one of the least-organized industries in the country. The first branch where workers won a union vote, in 2023, was in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Since then, workers have have voted to join the Communications Workers (CWA) at 29 more branches from Apopka, Florida, to Casper, Wyoming. So have 35 workers who review customer and employee complaints at the bank. These workers, a total of 200, are a small fraction of Wells Fargo’s 217,000 employees. But their organizing represents the first formal union effort since the company’s founding in 1852. And their success is even more notable in an almost entirely non-union industry.

These Non-Profit Workers Are Fighting Trump’s Attacks On Immigrants

September 23, 2025 Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. Organize! Immigrant Solidarity, Nonprofits, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

The International Rescue Committee is the largest non-profit organization providing services for refugee communities around the world. It is also the site of a growing union campaign. Two years ago, workers at the organization’s office in Dallas, TX won an NLRB election, becoming the first office to unionize. Since then, over one dozen more offices throughout the United States joined the union. For the past year the union, IRC Workers Unite — affiliated with OPEIU: Office and Professional Employees International Union — have been bargaining for a contract. The campaign for better pay and workplace protections has become all the more acute since Donald Trump returned to the presidency. His administration has threatened funding for progressive non-profits, and immigrant communities and their allies have been some of the most targeted by the administration.

How To Reach Persuadable Audiences On Taxes

September 23, 2025 Porter McConnell, Hibba Meraay, Jenn Steinfeld, and Ian C. Grady, Inequality.org. Organize! Finance and the Economy, Public Opinion, Tax the rich, Taxes

Polling has shown over and over that Americans support higher taxes on the wealthy. But when they actually get to the ballot box, they simply aren’t voting in ways that would make that happen. As advocates for an economy that would lift all people up and end extreme wealth concentration, this disconnect can feel incredibly frustrating. We at the Excessive Wealth Disorder Institute and Wonder for Good did some deep listening to better understand the disconnect between audiences’ support for change in the abstract and how they actually vote. Through in-depth, qualitative audience research and message testing, we identified strategies that consistently worked — and some that didn’t — in creating positive mindsets and support for reforming the tax code. Some of our findings may be surprising to advocates accustomed to messaging to base audiences.

Youth-Led Pro-Democracy Movement Makes Gains In Mozambique

September 18, 2025 Tsitsi Bhobo, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Community organizing, Democracy, Mozambique, Youth Activism

Since the presidential elections in autocratic Mozambique last October that were marred by corruption, according to the opposition and international watchdogs, a nationwide pro-democracy grassroots movement has been notching serious gains. It loosely calls itself Anamalala Ngimi, meaning “We are the solution.” The protests were sparked by Venâncio Mondlane, a 51-year-old political outsider who became the main opposition candidate for president. He began exhorting Mozambique’s youth not to take the fraud lying down during provocative live-streams on YouTube. “We worked via the medium available in the hands of every young Mozambican — a smartphone — and asked them to lead at a community level,” Mondlane said.

Insurrectionary Utopias Part 1: Ideas Towards A Liberatory Mutual Aid

September 17, 2025 Scott Crow, Agency. Organize! Collective Liberation, Disasters, Extreme weather, Mutual Aid

Despair, grief, and fear color much of our days, often challenging our hopes for the future. These emotions have seeped into daily conversations, media portrayals, and the very fabrics of our lives. Our fragile social bonds in civil society have been pushed to the brink due to ongoing disasters, crises and seeming uncertainty we all face. Despite the beautiful, historic gains made against Power (1), and the inspiring uprisings and rebellions since the turn of the millennium — undermining the very foundations of U.S. historical and systemic oppression — a loss for what-to-do characterizes much of our reflections. Civil society is unraveling due to an unsustainable civilization, the multi-year COVID-19 pandemic, an ongoing climate emergency, and the usurping of 20th century “democratic” institutions by right-wing forces with fascistic dreams.

ManiFiesta And Fête De l’Humanité Open Season Of Resistance

September 15, 2025 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. Organize! Al-Awda Hospital, Europe, Global Sumud Flotilla, ManiFiesta 2025, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

In the face of what Peter Mertens, Secretary General of the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB-PVDA), called “a summer of humiliation for the European Union” – marked by EU leaders agreeing to increased NATO spending, a harmful tariff deal with the United States, and failed attempts to ingratiate themselves with the Trump administration over the war in Ukraine – movements across the region are preparing for a new season of struggles. Early September gatherings such as ManiFiesta in Belgium and La Fête de l’Humanité in France have become key moments for progressives to come together, anticipating and confronting the challenges ahead.

Solace, Resistance, Action At APALA’s 2025 Convention

September 12, 2025 Paige Hazen, The Stand. Organize! Asian Americans, Labor Movement, Unions, Worker Rights

From June 26 to June 29, members of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) convened in Los Angeles from all over the country in order to discuss and decide the organization’s priorities. APALA is a labor constituency group that was founded in 1992 as a response to the ongoing exclusion and racism Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) workers faced within unions. Since then, they have remained the only national organization for AANHPI workers, providing invaluable resources, advocacy, and political education for them. The local Seattle Chapter is the largest in the country, sending over 40 delegates to the convention this year. Seattle members connected with each other as well as members from other cities, while also learning about the work everyone has been engaged in – from the local level to the international level.

North Carolina Electrical Workers Gear Up For Jobsite ICE Defense

September 11, 2025 Jody Anderson, Labor Notes. Organize! Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Solidarity, North Carolina, Worker Rights

I'm an electrical worker in IBEW Local 553 in Durham, North Carolina. We're one of the fastest growing locals in the South, with members in both construction and utility line work. Last month, I worked with a group of members to organize an immigrant defense training at our union hall, after persuading our officers to approve it. We worked with local immigrant organization Siembra NC to lead it. We had about twenty people there, half IBEW members and half from other organizations. Everybody agreed it was very useful. Siembra NC combined two trainings into one. One was ICE verification: training people to show up when they hear reports of ICE, and send out a confirmation or an “all clear” to a local network.

DC Against Trump Coalition Community Police Patrol Black Neighborhood

September 9, 2025 Iain McNeely, Fight Back! News. Organize! Community Defense, DC, Police, Trump Administration, Washington

Washington, D.C. — On Friday, September 5, over 30 activists and community members assembled in Washington, D.C. 's Navy Yard neighborhood for a “mass cop watch” organized by the DC Against Trump Agenda (DCAT) coalition. This cop watch is just one of many actions that the coalition has organized in weeks since President Trump declared that he would be federalizing DC’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and deploying the National Guard to the city. “This is an occupation,” said Kristen Bonner, organizer for the DC Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (DCAARPR). “We are seeing heavily armed soldiers on our streets, our buses, and our trains. Sometimes as many as a dozen on a single block.”

The Peoples Conference For Palestine: Another Step Forward

September 8, 2025 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. Organize! Genocide, International Solidarity, Israel, Palestine, Palestinian Liberation, Social Movements

The well-organized Palestine conference in Detroit brought over 4600 there, with a heavy Palestinian presence. Most of the speakers in the plenaries were genuine Palestinian activists tested in battle, not well-known writers or professors. The over 270 journalists who have been targeted and murdered for informing the world of the endless US-Israeli slaughter of civilians were honored throughout the three days that included over 20 sessions and plenaries, exhibits, including Palestinian cultural performances, a grand vendor fair and art exhibits. It was made clear that Israel is the US garrison state in the Middle East, out to break the Palestinian people’s resistance.

Brooklyn, NY – On September 6, The New York Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NYAARPR) hosted a town hall in Crown Heights to discuss community experiences with the NYPD and ways to fight back against police terror on the subway system. The town hall was held at Another World community center, which emerged from mutual aid efforts started as the Crown Heights CARE Collective in 2022. The event included a presentation of NYAARPR’s long-term demand for community control over the NYPD, and the immediate demands of getting police off of the subway system and holding the cops who brutally murdered Eudes Pierre accountable.

A Year Later, Africa’s Gen Z Uprising Is Only More Emboldened

September 7, 2025 Obiora Ikoku, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Africa, Gen Z, Kenya, Nigeria, Social Media, Youth Activism

Over the past year, a wave of mass protests has swept through the capitals of some African states. From Nairobi to Lagos, Accra to Dakar, angry protesters have marched to the sound of exploding tear gas shells and live bullets to rail against hunger and inequality while demanding an end to IMF austerity. From June to August this year, the movement rose again with tens of thousands exploding onto the streets in Kenya, while hundreds of activists turned up at an anniversary event in Lagos, Nigeria to reflect and map out next steps. Provoked by deep economic frustrations and lack of opportunities, these youth-led protests have shaken Africa’s aging ruling classes to their bones, making a forceful argument for a new social pact, anchored on a paradigm of national sovereignty, inclusive growth and social welfare.
