Global Day Of Action In Solidarity With Colombia On Monday, November 17

November 14, 2025 Friends of the Hague Group, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
Friends of the Hague Group (FOTHG), which launched in July 2025  to support multilateral efforts to end the Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people and to ensure that all such efforts be grounded in the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, has called for a Global Day of Action in solidarity with Colombia on Monday, November 17. FOTHG's coordinator, Adrienne Pine, explains:  "PNGO [the Palestinian NGO network—the largest collective representation of Palestinian civil society] has demanded that a Uniting for Peace measure be introduced at the UN General Assembly to send a multinational protection force to Palestine and implement sanctions and a military blockade, and President Petro of Colombia has heeded its call by committing to introduce such a resolution. 

Noboa Cracks Down On Protests While Pushing Rewrite Of Constitution

November 14, 2025 Pedro Labayen Herrera, CEPR. , , , , ,
In mid-September, President Daniel Noboa announced the removal of Ecuador’s long-standing diesel subsidies. The decision — an unpopular measure that, when previously attempted in 2019 and 2022, sparked Indigenous-led protests that nearly toppled two governments — once again triggered mass demonstrations and a national strike, though this time on a more limited scale. The Noboa administration responded with violent repression, resulting in widespread human rights violations, the deaths of three protesters, and hundreds of arrests and injuries.

UK Doctors On Strike: BMA Turns Down No-Pay-Rise Offer

November 14, 2025 Alex/Rose Cocker, The Canary. , , , , ,
The British Medical Association (BMA) has rejected a new offer from health secretary Wes Streeting to avert strikes on 14 November. Streeting gave the BMA until the end of today, 6 November, to consider. Not that they would have needed it, mind you – the offer didn’t make any move to restore resident doctors’ pay. As the Canary previously reported, there are two issues at the heart of the doctor’s dispute with the government: job shortages and pay restoration. 34% of resident doctors hadn’t been able to secure regular locum or substantive employment in time for August this year, according to a BMA survey.

Thousands Of UC Employees Plan Strike To Protest Wage Stagnation

November 14, 2025 Vanguard, Portside. , , ,
More than 65,000 University of California campus and health center employees will launch a two-day strike on November 17 and 18 over the university’s failure to settle contracts addressing the cost of living and affordability crises facing its most economically vulnerable workers. AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) Local 3299, which represents more than 40,000 UC service and patient care technical workers, will lead the strike, joined in solidarity by 25,000 UC nurses represented by the California Nurses Association.

On The Prisoners For Palestine Hunger Strike

November 13, 2025 Calla Mairead Walsh, New Socialist. , , , , , ,
It has been 10 days since political prisoners Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib ate any food. It has been 9 days since Heba Muraisi ate any food. It has been 7 days since Jon Cink ate any food. It has been 4 days since Teuta Hoxha ate any food. It has been 3 days since Kamran Ahmed ate any food. After the first 2 to 3 days without food, your body begins breaking down its own fat stores for energy, then its muscles, vital organs, and bone marrow, eating itself alive. The first days are the hardest. Then, you stop craving food at all as your body settles into the inharmonious rhythm of starvation. By day ten, significant medical intervention is required.

Stand With Palestine By Standing With Colombia

November 12, 2025 Friends of the Hague Group, Popular Resistance. , , ,
During the current phase of Zionist genocide, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has done more than any other world leader to support the Palestinian people against Israeli genocide and to defend a future for Palestine of self-determination, sovereignty, reparations, and the right of return, as well as to demand accountability for those responsible for and complicit in the genocide. Petro has taken bold actions within his own country—angering Colombia’s powerful Zionist right-wing opposition—to block the shipment of coal to Israel and cut other economic as well as diplomatic ties with the genocidal entity, in line with Colombia’s obligations as a State Party to the Genocide Convention.

Amazonian Indigenous Peoples Protest At COP30

November 12, 2025 teleSUR English. , , ,
On Tuesday, Brazilian Indigenous leaders and activists clashed with security guards as they tried to enter the site where the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) is being held in Belem. The protesters demanded access to the hall hosting the climate summit and several of them carried banners and flags with demands for land rights, such as “Our land is not for sale.” In response, security forces at the venue attempted to block them, using tables to obstruct their entry. However, the protesters bypassed the security checkpoints and entered the lobby of the UN-run tent where the negotiations take place. At that moment, members of the national delegations were preparing to leave the venue.

Demand Transportation Board Block Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern Mega-Merger!

November 11, 2025 More Perfect Union.
Fifty years ago, there were 71 major US railroad companies. Now just 4 rail corporations control 90% of the market -- and two of them are on the verge of merging. If this merger goes through, it would make everything more expensive, because huge swaths of the economy still rely on rail infrastructure. And these two companies -- Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific -- have a history of raising prices while cutting costs. Journalists at More Perfect Union sat down with rail experts about what this merger would mean for Americans, and what it would mean for America if it goes through.

A Diary From The Streets Of South Korea

November 11, 2025 Vijay Prashad, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
Jinsoo Koh has been living on a rickety metal overpass that sits above Toegye-ro street in Seoul, across from the old Sejong Hotel. He had been up there illegally for 261 days when I met him. I didn’t go up, and nor did he come down. In either case, one of us would have been arrested. So, we spoke via megaphones, the traffic of the street drowning out our words. Jinsoo worked in the Japanese restaurant of Sejong Hotel as a sashimi chef. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he and 259 workers of the hotel were collectively dismissed, some forced into early retirement. The hotel, whose proprietor also owns Sejong University and other properties, only retained 21 workers and hired subcontracting firms to run the rest of the functions of the hotel with casual workers.

Netherlands Advances Plan To Ban Imports From Israeli Settlements

November 11, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The Netherlands is moving ahead with a partial trade ban targeting imports from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel said on 10 November during a visit to the region. Van Weel confirmed that while a wider package of sanctions on Israel has been paused following last month’s ceasefire in Gaza, work continues on legislation specifically addressing settlement products. “The Netherlands is still working on legislation to bar imports from illegal settlements in occupied Palestine,” he said, adding that the measure responds to expanding settlements and what he called “spiralling Israeli violence” that threatens the viability of a two-state solution.

Horseshoe Indianapolis Dealers Resist Repression In Fourth Week Of Strike

November 10, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , ,
Shelbyville, IN - The strike for union recognition at the Horseshoe Indianapolis Casino has now entered its fourth week, marking more than 23 days on the picket line for table games dealers and dual rate dealers. These workers, who greet one another each day with the call-and-response “One day longer” and “One day stronger,” are carrying out one of the most significant and courageous private-sector labor battles in modern Indiana history, and one of the only major recognition strikes seen in the United States in decades. Their struggle is being closely watched across the state and around the country. The dealers and dual rates are fighting to preserve their rights, defend free speech, and win democratic recognition in the face of corporate union-busting, a federal shutdown, and now an unprecedented attempt by the city of Shelbyville to help Caesars Entertainment crush the strike by forcibly removing lawfully picketing workers from public land.

Maccabi’s Birmingham Match Met With Protests

November 9, 2025 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , , , ,
Protests took place in Birmingham on Thursday, November 6 as local football club Aston Villa faced Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv. The match took place after authorities banned visiting supporters over security concerns. Palestine solidarity groups and anti-racist organizations called for the match to be fully canceled, citing the violent record of Maccabi supporters and the club’s support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. “Allowing football clubs from a state committing genocide and implementing apartheid to compete in international competitions normalizes its atrocities, and sends the signal that there are no consequences for them,” the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) stated ahead of the match.

Caribbean Leaders Call For Unified Resistance To US Attacks

November 9, 2025 Michael Fox, Truthout. , , , , ,
The tiny Caribbean island nation of Barbados — with a population roughly the size of Anchorage, Alaska, or Lincoln, Nebraska — might not be the country one would first imagine taking the lead to stand up to U.S. military actions and ambitions in the region. But as the Trump administration continues to attack boats, first in the Caribbean Sea and now in the Pacific, leaders in Barbados have been vocal. “As a small state, we have invested tremendous time and energy and effort in establishing and maintaining our region as a zone of peace,” Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley said at a conference in late October.

DC Disrupters Shut Down Mayor Bowser At Democrats Meeting

November 9, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , ,
Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday, November 5, a group of activists again disrupted Mayor Muriel Bowser at a speaking event, this time at the DC Democrats November General Body Meeting. The direct action, called by the Families Not Feds campaign, is the latest in a series of actions targeting DC’s mayor for capitulating to the racist Trump agenda. The environment the mayor created by conceding to the Trump agenda led to, on October 27, federal police shooting into the car of an unarmed Black man that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) covered up.
