Global Sumud Flotilla Enters Active Departure Window

April 15, 2026 Global Sumud Flotilla. , , , ,
Barcelona, April 12 - Following a major international launch press conference at Moll de la Fusta Port this morning, the Global Sumud Flotilla has formally entered its active Barcelona departure window, transforming months of organizing, testimony, and international coordination into the next phase of the largest civilian-led flotilla mission in history to challenge Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza. Today’s press conference unfolded as one continuous global story: from family loss and displacement, to the collapse of governments and international institutions, to the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s hospitals, coastlines, fisheries, farmland, and water systems, to the collective decision that civil society must now move where states have failed.

Roger Waters Demands Release Of President Maduro And Cilia Flores

April 15, 2026 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Roger Waters chose April 13 to stage a protest outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, demanding the release of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. The date was not chosen at random, as that same Monday, Venezuela commemorated National Dignity Day, marking 24 years since the defeat of the coup attempt against Commander Hugo Chávez, which was reversed by masses of Chávez supporters descending on the seat of the presidency in Caracas and demanding the return of their duly elected president.

April 19: Stand Against The Threat Of Imperialist Aggression On Cuba

April 11, 2026 Struggle-La Lucha. , , ,
From the International Committee for Peace, Justice, and Dignity, we call on men and women of good will to join the actions that will take place around the world starting April 19, in the Year of Fidel’s Centennial and the 65th anniversary of the victory at Girón, imperialism’s first defeat in Latin America. The damage caused by the U.S. blockade of Cuba over the past 64 years is internationally recognized; it has been condemned by the overwhelming majority of countries — with the exception of Israel — on 33 occasions at the UN General Assembly.

Sawdust, Sunrise Singing And Solidarity: Holy Week In Nicaragua

April 10, 2026 Becca Renk Foster, Popular Resistance. , , ,
“I don’t like the music,” my daughter whispers to me. Suddenly, a cymbal crashes, followed by tuba and trombones droning a death dirge. I peer through the incense to make out the slow movement of men burdened by an impossibly heavy bier carrying the image of Christ crucified. It’s Good Friday, and we are watching the Holy Burial in the León Cathedral. “You’re not supposed to like it,” I tell her. “Jesus is dead, this is his funeral. The music is meant to fill you with dread and sadness.” In Nicaragua, a small country that has seen much suffering, Holy Week carries a special importance.

When Flotillas Fight For Life, Not Empire

April 10, 2026 Olivia Dinucci, Counter Punch. , , , ,
Flotillas have historically been fleets of military vessels—tools of empire designed for swift offensive or defensive operations at sea. The images they evoke are ones of imperial power and looming violence. Just look at the massive US naval buildup that surrounded Iran as part of the recent US attacks. But peace activists have also developed a new kind of flotilla. Instead of instruments of war, flotillas have become symbols of peace—acts of humanitarian direct action, civil resistance, and cross-border solidarity. Take the flotillas that have tried to reach Gaza, like the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Trump’s Threats To ‘End’ Iran Spark Backlash Across The United States

April 8, 2026 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , ,
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” said US President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social on April 7. The statement followed remarks a day earlier in which the president said “the entire country can be taken out in one night”, if Iran failed to make a deal by Trump’s deadline of 8pm EST on April 7. “After that, they’re going to have no bridges, they’re going to have no power plants,” Trump said in a chaotic White House address on April 6 . “Every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12:00 … complete demolition.”

Trump Says A ‘Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight’ In Iran

April 7, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , , ,
President Trump on Tuesday issued another threat against Iran, saying a “whole civilization will die tonight,” raising fears that he’s threatening to use nuclear weapons. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” the president wrote on Truth Social. He went on to reference his deadline that he previously set for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or agree to some sort of diplomatic deal by 8 pm EST tonight, but there’s no sign that real negotiations are taking place.

Cross-Border Days Of Solidarity Against Rigged Trade Agenda

April 3, 2026 Days of Solidarity. , , , , , ,
On July 1, trade officials from the U.S., Mexico and Canada will be meeting to consider changes to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) — also known as NAFTA 2.0 — the largest and most consequential trade policy of either Trump’s terms in office. The Trump administration and others are pushing a rigged trade agenda that puts the interests of billionaires and corporations ahead of working people, family farmers and the environment in North America and beyond. In response, people are coming together across borders and across issue areas to say “Enough!”

International Citizen Solidarity Is Strong For Cuba; Nations Turn Their Backs

March 30, 2026 Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , ,
As 700 international solidarity citizens visited Cuba last weekend, Cuban-American Secretary of State Marco Rubio smirked at the humanitarian disaster his and Trump’s policies were wrecking on Cuba, as small island nation of 9 million people only 90 miles off the tip of Florida. Rubio had  predicted the Cuban government would fall from the disastrous policies, particularly the blockade of fuel to the island. But Rubio’s plan was partially upended on Sunday night, March 29, when President Trump decided to allow a Russian oil tanker carrying 100 tons of oil to deliver it to Cuba.

A Call From Africa: Standing With Cuba Against Imperialist Aggression

March 26, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Across the African continent, progressive movements, grassroots organizations, and Pan-African networks are rallying in renewed solidarity with Cuba at a moment of deepening crisis. While global media narratives often reduce Cuba’s situation to internal failure (a narrative activists and many Cubans claim is imperialist propaganda), African movements are advancing solidarity rooted in history and shared struggle. International solidarity with the people of Cuba is rising, with caravans of medicines and food supplies being mobilized to support the island in the face of the ongoing siege.

Inspiring Nuestra América Convoy: 600+ Activists Deliver Aid To Cuba

March 22, 2026 TeleSur English, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
The Nuestra América Convoy arrived in Havana on March 21, 2026, greeted personally by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. The international humanitarian mission converged in the Cuban capital to deliver essential supplies and reaffirm global support for the country amid intensified US economic pressure. The convoy unites more than 600 peace activists from 38 nations, representing over 140 social, political, and cultural organizations across every continent. Participants include parliamentarians, judges, ambassadors, intellectuals, trade unionists, and community leaders committed to justice and sovereignty.

Al-Quds Day Actions Protest War On Iran

March 18, 2026 Martha Grevatt, Workers.org. , , , ,
Since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, mass rallies in defense of Palestinian resistance and against U.S. imperialism have been held internationally on the last Friday of Ramadan, which the new revolutionary government declared as Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day. This year people responded in the millions in defense of Palestinian and Iranian resistance to imperialism.  Pro-Palestinian and antiwar activists in major cities across the U.S. held anti-imperialist actions on March 13 and during the following weekend.  Many hundreds of people filled the center of Times Square at 42nd Street and Broadway in New York City. After the more than two-hour rally, there was a march to Herald Square.

Trump Can’t Blockade Love: Why I’m Going To Cuba

March 18, 2026 Leonardo Flores, Scheer Post. , , ,
I’m traveling to Cuba for the first time on March 21 to be in Havana with the Nuestra América Convoy, in which people from dozens of countries representing a variety of organizations will break the blockade, bringing much-needed supplies to the island. CODEPINK is bringing 6,300 pounds of medical equipment and medicine with help from Global Health Partners and others. These supplies will be given to clinics, hospitals, and maternity centers as Cuba deals with the latest horrifying crime against humanity perpetrated by the United States.

The Global Convoy To Cuba: Response To Washington’s Strangling Of Cuba

March 18, 2026 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
The Cuban Revolution represents an example for our human future: it nationalized the country’s wealth and resources and placed them under the rule of the direct representatives of workers and peasants and has stood up to imperialism for over 65 years. It played a world historic role in dismantling Israel’s twin apartheid state, South Africa. Destruction of the Cuban Revolution would be painful setback for the world movement against imperialism, for the world anti-war movement, for the world human rights movement. It would embolden US imperial aggression even more, everywhere. For our own self-preservation, we must do what we can to aid Cuba.

The World Says: Cuba Is Not Alone

March 14, 2026 Irais Maria García Portelles, Vanguardia. , , , ,
The world knows this, which every day, from different geographical points, demands its end. Washington's economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba is a criminal and genocidal way of besieging a sovereign country. Knowing this, the city council of the Italian city of Turin approved a Resolution that condemns it and demands the implementation of concrete projects to help the population of the Caribbean nation, Prensa Latina reported. The initiative, presented by councilors Claudio Cerrato and María Grazia Grippo, of the Democratic Party (PD), denounces the serious effects of pressure from the U.S. government.
