Dynamic Coalitions: Organizational Solidarity In Practice

June 22, 2025 Ana Inés Heras, Grassroots Economic Organizing. Organize! Direct Democracy, Education, Movement of Movements, Solidarity

My name is Ana Inés Heras. I live and work in Argentina, although at different points of my life I also lived abroad. Since 1999 I have been working in several regions of my native country as a National Researcher for the Argentinean Council – CONICET, as a university professor and an activist. The regions we work in and organizations we work with vary over time, since our work is dynamic. Groups and people who reach out to us are integrated into our work over time at different geographical locations in our country (e.g., the North West, the North East, the Southern Andean region). Out of this work, and over the years, I supported the creation of a transdisciplinary and trans-organizational team, which works as a Co-Elaborative Research Hub, on issues related to direct democracy in different types of organizations (e.g., cooperatives, community groups, social movements).

The Potential For Community Energy And Commons In North Wales

June 16, 2025 Dave Darby, Resilience. Organize! Community, Energy, Local Economy, The Commons, Wales

I’d like to find out more about what you’re doing, your ambitions, the barriers you face. You contacted us, so you know that we’re working to build commons in Stroud – to bring assets into community ownership without debt or giving away equity, but with a reasonable return for investors, strong asset locks, and the ability to federate with other projects around the country, and eventually the world. So after this initial interview, I’d like to bring you together with specialists to see where we might collaborate. So first, before we ask about what you’re doing – why are you doing it? What’s your motivation?

Palestinian Civil Society Call To Action Ahead Of International Conference

June 13, 2025 The Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy. Organize! International Solidarity, New York City (NYC), Palestine, Statehood

As UN member states prepare to convene in New York on 17 June for the High-Level Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, and as France is set to convene selected actors on 13 June with the declared aim of issuing “a clear and urgent call to action to the international community” ahead of the conference, we—the undersigned Palestinian civil society organizations and coalitions in Palestine and in exile—reaffirm our unified demands for a just and lawful resolution grounded in the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.

United States-Russia Citizen’s Summit

June 10, 2025 Scott Ritter, Consortium News. Organize! citizen diplomacy, History, Peace, Russia

We live in dangerous times. Now is the time for the people of the United States and Russia to set the example of how civil discourse and dialogue can pave the way for peace between our two nations. On June 18, Americans and Russians from all walks of life will come together to engage in an act of “people’s diplomacy.” Whether seated in a theater in beautiful Saint Petersburg, or in the historic Mohican Hotel in downtown Kingston, New York, the participants will be doing what we collectively can only hope our respective leadership will do — engage their citizen counterparts in constructive dialogue which seeks to better relations between their two nations.

The Art Of Organizing

June 9, 2025 Brian O. Shepherd, Portside. Organize! Labor Movement, Organizing, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Organizing isn’t just a science, it’s also an art. Normally the latter is passed on through phone calls, debriefs, meetings, and late-night shit talk. This is an attempt to share with the next generation of union organizers some of those lessons learned along the way, some in victory, some in defeat. None of this is new. None of this is mine. I certainly don’t have the answers, I just know it’s something that I’ve given my life to over the past quarter of a century. The art requires staying close to the ground where people are—and that’s messy. It requires us to relate to others, take chances, innovate, all while asking the hard questions of others and ourselves. All of it is simple. None of it is easy.

Brazil’s MST Promotes Agrarian Reform Amidst Environmental Crisis

June 4, 2025 Telesur, Orinoco Tribune. Organize! Agrarian Reform, Brazil, Environment, Landless Workers’ Movement (MST), MST, Reforestation

Brazil’s Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST) launched the third edition of Nature Day this Monday, an initiative that is part of its national plan “Plant Trees, Produce Healthy Food.” The goal is not only reforestation but also strengthening popular agrarian reform as an alternative to the current environmental crisis. This was stated by Camilo Augusto, project coordinator, in an interview with local media. Since 2021, the MST has promoted this event across Brazil, carrying out activities that include planting, seed distribution and mobilizing around environmental preservation.

‘No To Nato’s Endless Wars!’ Protesters Mobilize Across The Midwest

June 2, 2025 Liberation News. Organize! Anti-war Movement, Antiwar Movement, Endless Wars, NATO, Ohio

On a spring weekend in Dayton, Ohio — nearly three decades after the 1995 Dayton Accords was imposed to conclude one phase of the war in the Balkans — activists, community members, and organizers from across the Midwest and East Coast gathered to oppose NATO’s continued legacy of militarism, imperialism, and global destabilization. The People’s Assembly for Peace and Justice brought together over 400 participants from across Ohio and the entire region (outnumbering NATO’s 300 delegates), united under one clear demand: end NATO’s endless wars and stop pouring public funds into the war machine at the expense of communities.

Engaging Critics Can Create A Stronger Local

May 29, 2025 Paul Ruth, Labor Notes. Organize! Inclusion, Labor Movement, Rank and File, Unions

Factions often emerge in local unions—and they aren’t necessarily a bad thing. But a local union’s “divided government” can be problematic, especially when a contract campaign is on the horizon. Often “factions” happen when certain members frequently criticize the local leadership, and leaders push back. The division may appear to be hostile, but often the underlying tension comes from frustration and lack of communication on both sides. For union leaders, pushing back against critics is often the natural human reaction. But as the leader of a teachers’ union local, I have found that it’s usually better to be inclusive.

Disarming Europe: Steps Towards Building A Continent Of Peace

May 28, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Organize! disarmament, European Unions, Peace Movement, Wars and Militarism

The building of a broad anti-war and disarmament movement in Italy continues, as trade unions and left groups prepare for June 21 – the planned date of a national demonstration against Europe’s ongoing armament agenda. In the lead-up to the event, the political party Potere al Popolo organized meetings under the slogan “Let’s Disarm Them!” in both Naples and Rome during the weekend of May 24–25. With international guests including Ione Belarra from Podemos, Clémence Guetté from France Unbowed, and Marc Botenga from the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB-PVDA), the meetings aimed to highlight key priorities for a national and regional peace movement to rally around.

Kennedy Center Staff To Vote To Unionize

May 21, 2025 Nick Kurtz, CBS News. Organize! Kennedy Center, Trump Administration, Unions, Washington D.C., Worker Rights and Jobs

Staff employees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. announced this week an intent to unionize across departments and argue for collective bargaining rights. The effort comes amid months of layoffs and job uncertainty following major changes brought on by the Trump administration. According to multiple staff members who spoke to CBS News on the condition of anonymity, more than 150 employees that handle crucial responsibilities for the Kennedy Center — including education, donor relations, and arts programming — are sounding the alarm that the mission and legacy of the storied arts institution are at risk unless a sense of normalcy is returned to everyday operations.
