Gaza Reveals How Britain Is Run

December 2, 2025 Mark Curtis and Laura Pidcock, Consortium News. Strategize! Britain, Gaza, Genocide, Human Rights, United Kingdom (UK)

British history. Its political system has utterly failed to confront a genocide. Rather, that system has allowed the British establishment to be complicit in one of the worst horrors of our time — Israel’s two-year offensive against Palestinians, complete with ethnic cleansing, systematic attacks on schools and hospitals, and crimes against humanity. Now, under a current supposed ceasefire, Israel is still killing Palestinians and their plight in Gaza remains dire, as the world sees the extent of the mass destruction visited on them. Throughout the attacks on Palestinians in Gaza, British leaders have actively cooperated with Israel in their military, trade and diplomatic policies.

How Somerville Organized To Win Ballot Question To Divest From Israel

December 2, 2025 Tamar Sarai, Next City. Strategize! BDS Movement, Direct Democracy, Divestment, Massachusetts, Palestine

Organizers with Somerville for Palestine hosted a rally outside of City Hall on Nov. 13, demanding that city councilmembers follow the will of voters and pass a resolution to implement a strategy to boycott and divest from Israel within the next calendar year. The rally came after voters in the Massachusetts city’s Nov. 4 election overwhelmingly supported nonbinding Ballot Question 3, also referred to as the “Palestine Solidarity Question,” which asked whether Somerville should divest from companies that “engage in business that sustains Israel’s apartheid, genocide and illegal occupation of Palestine.”

The Spirit Of Chavismo: Why Trump Must Not Invade Venezuela

December 1, 2025 Peter McLaren, LA Progressive. Strategize! Bolivarian Revolution, Paulo Freire, US military, Venezuela

In his excellent and provocative article, Roger D. Harris posed the following question in a recent edition of LA Progressive: Will the U.S. Attack Venezuela? His essay served as a warning, a fiery herald no eye could ignore. I do not rise to echo that caution across the void; I come to bear witness, a sentinel tracing its contours through time. I write from the memory of a land that invited me to bring a Freirean-style pedagogy to various sectors of the country, a los bosques, campos, tierras de cultivo y barrios de Venezuela.

40-Year Fight Against Cluster Bombs; Lessons To Stop US-Israel Weapons Pipeline

November 30, 2025 Joseph Mogul, NationofChange. Strategize! Anti-war Movement, Cluster Bombs, History, Israel, Palestine, Protests

After more than two years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, popular outrage has mounted against the weapons manufacturers enabling the slaughter. The antiwar movement in the United States has begun targeting local nodes of the weapons supply chain in cities from Oakland to Brooklyn and Boston. These campaigns have deployed a breadth of strategies: pressuring local municipalities to divest, physically disrupting the supply chain through direct action, encouraging airports to adopt arms embargo policies and demanding public and private industrial landlords evict weapons companies.

Santa Fe’s Plan For A Real Minimum Wage Offers Lessons For California

November 29, 2025 Mark Kreidler, Scheer Post. Strategize! California, Cost of living, Housing, Minimum Wage, New Mexico

California has in recent years turned up its effort to establish minimum wages that allow workers to afford life in the Golden State. But the most daring experiment may well be coming not from particularly high-cost Los Angeles or San Francisco, but from a couple of states east. On Nov. 13, the City Council in Santa Fe, New Mexico, voted to integrate the cost of housing in its calculation of the citywide minimum wage going forward. According to the UC Berkeley Labor Center, this marks the first time in the U.S. that a city has factored local housing costs directly into setting its minimum.

Communism Defeated Fascism Eighty Years Ago

November 28, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! China, Communism, Fascism, History, Russia

On 13 November, at the Global South Academic Forum in Shanghai, China, we released our latest study, The 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War – Understanding Who Saved Humanity: A Restorationist History. An edited version of my keynote speech ‘Two Lies and an Enormous Truth’, delivered to introduce the study, is reproduced here. In early August 1942, the Soviets set up loudspeakers across Leningrad. The city had been under siege for over 300 days. People were starving. The conductor, Karl Eliasberg, kept the Leningrad Radio Orchestra going by holding rehearsals and personally taking his musicians to feeding stations.

Lessons For Climate Advocates From Bill Gates ‘Climate Hack’

November 28, 2025 Liam Kavanagh, DeSmog. Strategize! Bill Gates, Brazil, climate crisis, COP30

Many were frustrated, justifiably, by Bill Gates’ ability to steal headlines ahead of this year’s just-concluded round of U.N. climate talks, COP30. Gates did so by telling the climate community, on his blog, what he believes is a ‘hard truth’: that we are ‘diverting resources from the most effective things that should be done to to improve life in a warming world,’ notably fighting poverty and disease, including by boosting economic growth. By focusing on limiting the rise in average global temperatures as the sole metric of success, climate advocates are missing opportunities to ‘prevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions who live in the world’s poorest countries.’

Camera System Feeds Information To Police On Drivers Nationwide

November 27, 2025 Tyler Walicek, Truthout. Strategize! Flock, Police, Privacy, Surveillance

The United States public has been treated to round after round of revelations disclosing that our actions — public and private, digital and physical, criminalized and legal — are tracked and surveilled in a bevy of ways. New realms of egregious privacy violations and excesses continue to be regularly broached by corporations and police. One of the most concerning contemporary cases is that of the AI-enabled security camera start-up Flock Safety, which, by surveilling enormous expanses of public terrain and facilitating the tracking of innocent individuals, is both testing the limits of warrantless dragnet surveillance and indulging in extremes of vacuous start-up hype and negligent absurdity.

Historic Win For Italy’s Metal Workers

November 27, 2025 IndustriALL, Portside. Strategize! Italy, Labor Movement, Unions, Worker Rights

Last week Italy’s metal workers secured a major victory as the unions Fim, Fiom and Uilm, all affiliated to IndustriALL Global Union, signed the renewed National Collective Labour Agreement (NCLA) with Federmeccanica and Assistal after four days of continuous and intense negotiations. The agreement covers more than 1.5 million workers across the country and guarantees a €205(US$ 237.17) increase on minimum contractual salaries over four years, which the unions say is essential to protecting wages amid rising living costs and economic uncertainty.

Theme From The Bottom: Post COP30 Reflections

November 26, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! climate crisis, COP30, Decolonization, Indigenous Peoples, People's Summit, White Supremacy

The first Conference of the Parties (COP) summit I attended was back in 2015, COP 21, which took place in Paris, France. At this point in my climate and environmental justice journey I was wide-eyed and perhaps even a bit naive as I believed that nation states, international bodies like the United Nations, and so-called Civil Society Organizations contained the requisite mettle and principles to take on the crisis of climate change at scale while and the root causes that maintain and exacerbate it - white “supremacy” ideology, patriarchy, and colonization - contemporaneously.

Cuba’s Participatory Path In A Time Of Economic Siege

November 26, 2025 Isaac Saney, Resumen English. Strategize! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Economic crisis, Participatory Democracy

Amid one of the most severe economic moments since the triumph of the Revolution—and under the weight of a suffocating, ever-expanding U.S. imperial siege—Cuba is attempting something that remains almost unthinkable in the so-called advanced capitalist democracies: it is involving its citizenry directly, consciously, and systematically in charting the country’s economic future. While the wealthy western nations increasingly marginalize their own working populations, Cuba insists that the resolution of the crisis must be a collective, participatory, and profoundly democratic undertaking.

After The Ceasefire: What Next For Global Solidarity With Palestine?

November 24, 2025 Shatha Abdulsamad, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Ceasefire, Gaza, Israel, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity

Despite Hamas and Israel agreeing on a ceasefire on October 10, the genocide in the Gaza Strip has only slowed down. United States President Donald Trump’s “peace plan” does not address the Israeli structural violence that still exists against Palestinians, and there has been no real movement or action from governments to hold the architects of the genocide accountable for their crimes. Although the daily massacres – averaging about 100 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip – have lessened, the mechanisms of oppression are still firmly in place: the territory remains blockaded, and Israeli aerial and artillery attacks persist with minimal resistance from world governments.

Inalienable Right Of Africans, People Of African Descent To Reparations

November 24, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Africa, Community of Caribbean States (CARICOM), Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Ghana, Pan Africanism, Reparations

Asserting the “inalienable right of Africans and people of African descent to full reparations” for “slavery, colonialism, apartheid, and systemic exploitation”, an international Pan-African conference on November 18 and 19 adopted the Accra Declaration on Reparatory Justice. Mandating the establishment of a “Pan-African Reparatory Justice Coordinating Committee” and laying out the next steps to be taken, the Accra declaration signalled “a new era of coordinated global action on reparatory justice,” said the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF). A global platform undertaking research, advocacy, and grassroots mobilization to strengthen the Pan-African movement, the PPF organized this event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the historic 5th Pan-African Congress in October 1945 in Manchester, England.

COP30 Isn’t A Failure, It’s A Farce

November 22, 2025 Peter Gelderloos, In These Times. Strategize! Brazil, climate crisis, COP30, Indigenous Peoples

Belem, Brazil — As the COP30 climate summit comes to a close here in Belém, in the Brazilian state of Pará, conference organizers have little to show after two weeks of highly publicized talks. This is bad for everyone. The United Nations Climate Change Conference desperately needed to restore its reputation. After all, last year’s COP29 took place in Azerbaijan, where fossil fuels make up 90% of the exports and where the government was being accused of carrying out genocide in the months leading up to the conference. The previous year, the COP28 was held in Dubai, capital of another petrostate.

Organizing For A Breakout

November 21, 2025 Chris Townsend, Portside. Strategize! Labor Movement, Organizing, Unions, Worker Rights

There is a military axiom that if your positions are encircled by far superior forces, you will inevitably be annihilated, unless you break out. I have been a member of our labor movement and left wing since I got out of high school in 1979. For every one of those 46 years our labor movement has been under heavy attack, and at the end of every year we were smaller and more exhausted than when it began. This year will be no exception. With only a few scant exceptions the U.S. labor movement continues to avoid the key question of new organizing. The call to “Organize the Unorganized!” is no longer heard. Embattled unions must draw to their support the masses of unorganized – or face destruction.
