Skip Target For Back-To-School Shopping, Teachers Tell Parents

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), in collaboration with the AFL-CIO, has launched a nationwide campaign calling on teachers, parents, and communities to boycott Target for back-to-school shopping. The union cited Target’s refusal to condemn ICE for its illegal assaults on communities across the country over the past year, particularly in Minneapolis, where January’s “Operation Metro Surge” led to the murders of two people, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal agents. “We gave Target ample time to stand with the communities in which they operate and help their neighbors,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten.

12,000 Starbucks Workers Call For Boycott Of Law-Breaking Coffee Chain

Starbucks workers who have joined the unionizing effort that started in Buffalo, New York in 2021 and has spread to over 700 stores across the country called on all working people to show solidarity by boycotting the coffee chain, which has refused to finalize a union contract and has been accused of hundreds of labor violations. “What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17 per hour wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections,” said Starbucks Workers United (SWU) Tuesday. “Every year, our living costs rise, but our wages don’t keep up—a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country.”

No More Dollars For Walmart After Kohen Wiley’s Death

I spoke with Davion Williams the day before the 21-year-old Black father had to bury his 1-year-old baby, murdered by police in Senatobia, Mississippi. “Justice for Kohen Wiley!” he chanted, fist raised, and also dazed, trying to find his footing in the midst of the unimaginable theft of his beautiful baby boy’s life. As I offered love and support, grateful that my comrade, friend, and brother-in-struggle, Marquell Bridges, was there to hold the family and organize alongside them, I offered, “We cannot get justice for Kohen; justice would mean that he is still here."

Global Health Professionals Demand Boycott Of Israeli Medical Association

Over 1,150 health professionals and organizations launched a petition on 13 June calling for a boycott of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA), accusing it of failing to adhere to medical ethics and of “complicity” in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The push is being led by the People’s Health Movement (PHM), Doctors for Gaza, and the Health Advisory Council of the Jewish Voice for Peace group. The organizations are calling on the World Medical Association (WMA) to drop the IMA for its silence about Israel’s systematic destruction of health infrastructure and its killing, abduction, and torture of Palestinian doctors, nurses, and first responders.

‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’: The World Cup As An International Psy-Op

The world watched in horror. Day after day, people around the world were bombarded with images of a level of brutality rarely witnessed in real time: human beings burned alive; families desperately digging through mountains of rubble in search of loved ones trapped beneath what had once been their homes; apocalyptic scenes of hundreds of starving Palestinians herded into fenced enclosures like cattle, waiting at what were cynically called "feeding stations" operated by shadowy organizations funded by the United States. Then came the scenes of people running for their lives as those same feeding stations became death traps, with armed men firing indiscriminately into crowds of Palestinians whose only crime was the desire to live freely on their land, free from colonial domination.

The Beautiful Game Can’t Hide The Ugly

“Football is the only sport where you put people together, it doesn’t matter if you are rich, or poor, or black, or white. It is one nation. This is the beauty of football.” - Pele’ This week the United States, along with Canada and Mexico, will host the first matches of the 2026 World Cup (Copa Mundial). The U.S. acting as one of the tournament’s hosts has been met with a mix of concern and outrage. For instance, earlier this year when President Trump insisted that the nation of Greenland should be annexed as a U.S. territory, members of the German soccer federation’s executive committee suggested a boycott of the World Cup.

End Sportswashing Of US Crimes And Elite Capture Of The People’s Games

The 2026 World Cup, taking place in North America, begins on June 11. In the United States, the games will be played in 11 cities from coast to coast with 'security' being provided by federal agencies, including ICE, which have been terrorizing communities, detaining travelers, residents, and citizens in inhumane conditions, and committing violence with impunity. The Anti Fascist Football Coalition opposed holding the games in the US to avoid legitimizing a country that supports genocide in Palestine and is waging illegal wars, and is now calling for a boycott. Clearing the FOG speaks with Maria Hernandez, an organizer with UNITE HERE Local 11 in Los Angeles, where stadium workers are still fighting for a contract and assurances of their safety in a space where ICE agents are present, and Ajamu Baraka of the Black Alliance for Peace, who explains the boycott and why we must take the games back from the billionaire class.

Boycott The 2026 World Cup Games Scheduled For The United States

The Black Alliance for Peace’s North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights (the Project) raised the issue months ago of the fundamental inappropriateness of the 2026 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup being hosted in the United States. The Project argued that the U.S. human rights record—including blatant actions globally that constitute crimes against humanity, war crimes, and complicity in genocide, along with the systematic abuse of the human rights of migrants, immigrants, and even U.S. citizens domestically through the unleashing of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE)—renders the United States ineligible to host the games.

REI Union Workers Launch Boycott Over Dispute With Co-op

On May 15, REI Union workers launched a boycott against the co-op, which sells outdoor leisure gear, in protest against its “bad faith bargaining”. Timed to disrupt REI Co-op’s anniversary sale, which takes place through May 25, the boycott follows recent negotiations that ended on 30 April, in Chicago. The union claims that REI “failed to offer a single proposal until the final day of bargaining, and failed to send its own vice president of labor relations, or any key decision-maker, to the table”. Campaigners hit out at “outlandish, bad faith proposals” from the co-op, including a moratorium on the REI Union’s organising activity, which would prevent it from supporting workers at other REI stores hoping to unionise for the duration of the contract.

Eurovision 2026: Artists Repeat Boycott Call As Israel Takes Stage

Thousands of people across Europe joined demonstrations and counter-events in the days leading to the final night of the Eurovision Song Contest, protesting Israel’s participation. “For the third consecutive year, they’ll find Israel celebrated onstage despite its ongoing genocide in Gaza,” over 2,000 cultural workers warned in an open letter published by the platform No Music for Genocide. The call brought together dozens of local artists and globally known names such as Roger Waters and Massive Attack, who called for performers, broadcasters, and fans to boycott Eurovision until Israel is excluded.

On Nakba Anniversary, Health Workers Call For Boycott Of Israeli Medical Association

Seventy-eight years after the Nakba, Palestinians continue to resist occupation, displacement, and the systematic destruction of their health system. In this context, health workers are advancing the struggle with a campaign to boycott the Israeli Medical Association (IMA). The new campaign initiated by Doctors for Gaza (Netherlands), Global Health BDS (UK), Health Workers for Palestine (Spain) and the People’s Health Movement (PHM) is fighting to hold the IMA accountable for neglecting medical ethics, including violations of the World Medical Association (WMA) Declarations of Geneva and Tokyo.

FIFA In The Sun, Soccer In The Shadow

Soccer is globally celebrated. It is the most consumed sport in the world. At least a billion people tune in to watch the World Cup every four years. Soccer reflects both international and working-class characteristics. Soccer is a reflection of greater contradictions of the world playing out on a football pitch. Most importantly, the primary contradiction that has grasped the world tightly; the contradiction between the countries that dominate by imperialism and those that are subjected to this domination. Yet fans, being fans, have historically risked it all for a brief moment of exuberance. In 2014, Brazilian fans bicycled through the Amazon region to watch the games in the Manaus. In 2022, Argentinian fans sold their houses to go watch Messi play his last tournament in Qatar.

International Coalition Calls On FIFA To Move Games From The US

With the FIFA World Cup 2026 now 100 days away, an international coalition has launched a coordinated boycott campaign demanding that FIFA move matches from the United States. The Coalition warns that US thuggery is creating a humanitarian crisis, both domestic and international. International sport is not neutral. Mega-sporting events function as instruments of political legitimation. To host global sporting events is not merely a logistical privilege — it is a declaration of belonging within the international community.

China Labels Israeli-Occupied Lands As ‘High Risk Area’

A Chinese investment fund has revealed that the Beijing government has imposed a ban on all new investment in Israeli-occupied lands due to the regime’s brutal aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip. The news emerged in Israeli media outlets amid a lawsuit filed by members of Kibbutz Hanita against Ballet Vision, a Chinese-controlled fund that holds an 80% stake in Hanita Lenses, an intraocular lens manufacturing plant located in the northern part of the occupied lands near the Lebanese border. Israeli settlers from the kibbutz have filed a lawsuit against the fund, which controls 80 percent of an intraocular lens plant located in the northern settlement.
