December 23, 2025 Global Sumud Flotilla. , , ,
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) announces the launch of its Spring 2026 mission, a historic escalation in civilian-led maritime action to break the illegal blockade of Gaza. Moving beyond previous aid delivery efforts, this mission represents a strategic shift toward a sustained civilian presence and the establishment of a replicable model grounded in international law and Palestinian leadership. A primary focus of the 2026 mission is the deployment of a specialized medical fleet. Carrying more than 1,000 healthcare professionals and stocked with life-saving medicines and equipment, this fleet aims to stabilize Gaza's healthcare system and support the efforts of local medical teams who have endured two years of genocide.

December 23, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Denver, CO – Organizers in Denver are continuing the fight against local airline Key Lime Air, responsible for deportation flights. Over the last week, the campaign to stop Key Lime Air from operating deportation flights has expanded. Organizers from Aurora Unidos CSO, Immigrant Partnership Teams, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, and Casa de Paz gathered outside of the Denver City Council meeting on December 15. The city councilors were scheduled to vote on Key Lime Air’s presence at Denver International Airport. If passed, the bill would expand Key Lime Air’s contract with the airport by increasing its operating space there.

Bolivians Mobilize In Rejection Of Rodrigo Paz’s Fuel Price Hike

December 23, 2025 TeleSur English. , , ,
Members of the Bolivian Workers’ Central (COB), the country’s largest labor organization, mobilized this Monday in a national strike against Decree 5503 imposed by President Rodrigo Paz, which eliminated fuel subsidies after more than 20 years. In this regard, miners, coca growers, and some sectors affiliated with the COB gathered in La Ceja, El Alto, marched through the avenues of La Paz, and finally descended towards the seat of government. The mining leaders, represented in one sector by Alfredo Uño Villca, demanded the immediate annulment of the decree and the opening of genuine channels of dialogue with the central government.

Logging Blockade Brewing In Alberta’s Rocky Mountains

December 23, 2025 Drew Anderson, The Narwhal. , , ,
The woods surrounding the Highwood Pass, a mountain valley southwest of Calgary, are quiet. The traffic snarls of fall, which brought day trippers flocking to see larch trees pop yellow against the green hills, are gone. The road through the pass is closed until the spring. Gone too is a temporary camp and barrier across a logging road, set up to protest in advance of clear-cut operations in this popular corner of Kananaskis Country along the rocky spine of southwestern Alberta. At least for now. At first blush, it’s odd for protesters opposed to logging to leave the area before the logging starts, but that wasn’t really the point of the camp set up by a group called Defenders of the Eastern Slopes.

An NHS doctor says she was “strangled” by police officers at a protest outside a British prison demanding an ambulance for a critically ill Palestine Action-linked prisoner on hunger strike. Olivia Brandon, an Accident and Emergency doctor at a London hospital, told Middle East Eye that she was dragged by the hood of her coat by police, causing arterial compression and resulting in her losing consciousness. She also reported that another doctor, Ayo Moiett, who had been repeatedly demanding that Bronzefield prison call an ambulance for prisoner Qesser Zuhrah, was arrested by two police officers after he declined to attend a “voluntary interview” following allegations that he had assaulted a prison officer.

Chicago Budget Fight: Corporate Interests Clash With Working-Class

December 22, 2025 Gabriel Miller, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Chicago, IL – Corporate-backed alderpersons pushed through an unbalanced budget to avoid taxing big businesses on Saturday, December 20, but conceded important measures after sustained pressure from working-class Chicagoans. The final budget package, championed by conservative council members, promises to sell to private debt collectors nearly $100 million debt from water bills, parking tickets and ambulance fees. It also increases liquor and gambling taxes and sells city spaces for advertising. These measures, which have been assessed as fiscally irresponsible by the city’s budget experts, are the last ditch effort by the group of oppositional alderpersons who have fought to avoid instituting a corporate head tax, in which the largest 3% of corporations would pay less than a thousandth of a percent of their profits based on the number of workers they employ.

Unions and community organizations demonstrated at the Port of Oakland on Dec. 18 as part of an ongoing campaign to demand an embargo on the shipment of weapons to Israel from both the city’s sea port and air port (OAK). The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), in coordination with The People’s Embargo for Palestine (PEP), released a report titled “Exposing Oakland’s Military Cargo Shipments to Israel” last August. They were horrified to discover that Oakland, California, a city with a progressive history of solidarity with Palestine, had become one of the most frequent departure points for shipping F-35 bomber components to Israel.
