December 3, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Resist! Arts, Liberation, Marwan Barghouti, Palestine, Political Prisoner

Over two hundred prominent cultural figures have joined a global campaign advocating for the release of Palestinian political prisoner Marwan Barghouti, widely regarded as a unifying figure capable of reigniting a viable path to Palestinian statehood. Writers Margaret Atwood, Philip Pullman, Zadie Smith, and Annie Ernaux joined actors Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, and Mark Ruffalo, along with public figures such as Gary Lineker and Richard Branson, in signing an open letter urging Barghouti’s freedom. The statement expresses “grave concern at the continuing imprisonment of Marwan Barghouti, his violent mistreatment and denial of legal rights whilst imprisoned,” and calls on governments and the UN to actively work for his release.

Basis For Climate And Environmental Liberation

November 7, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Big Greens, Class Struggle, climate crisis, Climate Justice, Environment, Environmental Justice, History, Liberation

In the last five years, certain environmental justice groups and their agents have enjoyed the selective largesse of mainstream environmental groups and governmental agencies at the federal and State level. On the one hand this has increased the ubiquity of environmental justice, at least rhetorically, as well as the operating budgets for select environmental justice organizations. But we must ask ourselves what was/is the cost for certain environmental justice organizations to enjoy being selected and hand picked as the “leading” groups and primary spokespeople for the environmental justice movement? And, equally important, what effects do these “selections” have on the larger environmental justice movement, especially those community-based, grassroots organizations that are accountable to the poorest and most polluted communities in the nation and, in some cases, as the case with Cancer Alley in Louisiana, the entire world?

Venezuela’s Militias And The Civil-Military Union

November 4, 2025 Ria Evelyn, Venezuelanalysis. Strategize! Bolivarian Revolution, Civilian Militia, Liberation, Venezuela

The ideological basis of our militias is rooted in anti-colonial struggle. Resistance to Spanish conquest in the 16th century was led by Aboriginal peoples. The form of social organisation of our indigenous peoples was not a pyramid-type hierarchical order with a single chief – we had many chiefs – so Spanish colonisers found they could not dismantle the entire social, political and military structures of our society by killing the head of a pyramid. Our chiefs organised resistance, including the great indigenous leaders Great Cacique Guaicaipuro and Great Cacia Uriquia, forming liberation movements which continued until the independence era.

The Future Requires A Politics Of Relationality

November 2, 2025 David Bollier. Create! Capitalism, climate crisis, Liberation, The Commons

At a time when the superstructures of human civilization seem terminally messed up – unable to address climate collapse, authoritarian capitalism, among many other wicked problems – I was thrilled to encounter a book that dares to imagine a fresh and compelling way forward. The book, Relationality: An Emergent Politics of Life Beyond the Human, is a big-hearted and poetic yet rigorous scholarly book. On my latest episode of Frontiers of Commoning (Episode #68), I interviewed the three authors -- noted anthropologist Arturo Escobar and global studies professor Michal Osterweil, both at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Kriti Sharma, a professor of critical race science and technology studies at UC Santa Cruz.

Community Leaders Gather To Honor Solomon Northup

October 25, 2025 Jean-Luc Pierite, Popular Resistance. Organize! Abolition, Boston, Liberation, Solomon Northup

Boston, MA — The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, City of Boston, and community partners gathered this week to celebrate the unveiling of Hope Out of Darkness, the first-ever bronze sculpture honoring 19th-century abolitionist Solomon Northup (1807–unknown), author of Twelve Years A Slave. The installation, created by Emmy and Oscar-winning sculptor Wesley Wofford, FNSS, was unveiled before an audience of civic leaders, artists, descendants, and residents at the Boston Harbor Islands Welcome Center on the Rose Kennedy Greenway on Wednesday. The legacy of Solomon Northup was recognized by Massachusetts Governor Maura T. Healey, who presented a citation honoring the exhibit of the sculpture and reflecting on “Massachusetts’ history of Black and Indigenous slavery and slave trade, as well as the Commonwealth’s leading role in the abolitionist movement.”

Gaza’s Post-War Future And The Collapse Of Foreign Illusions

October 15, 2025 Mohammad Al-Ayoubi, The Cradle. Educate! Gaza, Governance, Israel, Liberation, Palestine

In the aftermath of the devastating war on Gaza, the most pressing question is no longer about a ceasefire or reconstruction, but about who will govern the enclave. This is a struggle over meaning, legitimacy, and sovereignty. Will the future of Gaza be shaped by its people, or by the same foreign powers that helped destroy it under the banner of “salvation”? Every time the gates of ‘reconstruction’ and ‘aid’ are opened, the windows of sovereignty are slammed shut. What unfolds is a recurring colonial spectacle: a Palestinian political order remade under foreign supervision, where ‘political realism’ is promoted as a substitute for justice, and ‘technocracy’ is marketed as a sterile alternative to resistance.

If You Don’t Want To Confront Oppression, Your Role As An Intellectual Is Pointless

September 18, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Assassination, Berta Caceres, History, Honduras, Liberation

At the grave of Berta Isabel Cáceres Flores (1971–2016) in La Esperanza, Honduras, where she was born and died, I watched a yellow butterfly flutter around a bougainvillea bush. It flew as if unconcerned, going from grave to grave in the quiet cemetery. Beside Berta’s grave is that of her brother, Carlos Alberto López Flores (1958–2004), a communist who studied at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow and was a vital influence on the thinking of his younger sister. The other side of Berta’s grave remains empty. It awaits the body of Carlos and Berta’s mother María Austra Bertha Flores López – known as Mamá Berta – who buried two of her children.

Strengthen Solidarity With Palestine!

January 21, 2025 Workers World. Strategize! Ceasefire, International Solidarity, Liberation, Occupation, Palestine

Resistance in Palestine and West Asia has mobilized an important movement in the U.S. and other NATO countries for over 15 months to demand the genocide in Gaza stop. A ceasefire has finally been achieved. This movement must ask itself the following question: What do we do now to contribute to liberation for Palestine? Despite the avalanche of pro-imperialist propaganda from the Israeli and Western corporate media, hundreds of millions of people around the world have been propelled into action to oppose the horrible, genocidal war against Gaza.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa of the Republic of Zimbabwe has emerged as the regional chairperson of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) 44th Annual Summit which was held in Harare on August 17. SADC is a 16-member regional organization composed of states and their affiliates extending from the Republic of South Africa to the Seychelles and as far north as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Since 1980 when its predecessor organization, the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC), was founded in Lusaka, Zambia which later transitioning towards SADC in Windhoek, Republic of Namibia in 1992 to the present era, the mission of the grouping is to foster economic cooperation, peacekeeping operations and solidarity with other oppressed and exploited people in Africa and around the globe.

Mustafa Barghouti On The Role Of The Palestinian Diaspora In The Struggle

May 26, 2024 People's Dispatch. Strategize! Gaza, Genocide, Liberation, Mustafa Barghouti, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity

Our struggle today, as Palestinian people, our struggle today and our revolution is not only to end occupation and it’s not only to bring down this system of racism and discrimination, and not only to eliminate the results of the ethnic cleansing that took place in 1948, but more than that, it is now, as every Palestinian must understand, about a struggle to bring down the whole system of settler colonialism that has been attacking our people during more than 100 years. And the role of the Palestinian diaspora today is even bigger than any time before. I know that many of you have felt during many decades, during the last maybe 30 years, you felt marginalized.

Liberation Economist, Part Two

May 18, 2024 Euclides André Mance and Matt Noyes, Grassroots Economic Organizing. Create! Liberation, Open Source, Software, Solidarity Economy

The theme of software licensing is very interesting. One time Richard Stallman was in Curitiba and stayed at my house for a week. He and I had many conversations about this and in the end wrote a joint statement on the importance of linking free software and solidarity economy, developing solutions for the solidarity economy that are truly free, libre, etc. But I posed to him an ethical problem: free software, precisely because its license allows for its use for any purpose, can lead to its use for ends that are not liberating, purposes tied to exploitation, domination, ecological degradation, or what have you. To what extent does a totally unlimited freedom, with no ethical parameters, contribute to the real expansion of freedom for all and not just some?

‘We Must Fight’; Who Will Write The Last Chapter Of Our Nakba?

May 15, 2024 Ramzy Baroud, TRT World. Educate! Genocide, Israel, Liberation, Palestine, The Nakba

"Thank you, a thousand times over! Our sadness has now grown up and become a man. And now, we must fight.” That was the closing verse of a short but influential poem by iconic Palestinian poet, Samih Al-Qasim. It is entitled, "Rafah's Children." Al-Qasim’s poem was published in 1971, over half a century before Israel began its invasion of Rafah, the apex of its supposed military achievement – read genocide – in Gaza, which started in October 2023. The poem identified two major characters in Palestine's ongoing tragedy, starting with the Nakba in 1948: The Israeli, as a representation of war, and the Palestinian people, as a symbol of sumud - steadfastness.

Liberation Economist Part One

May 10, 2024 Matt Noyes, Grassroots Economic Organizing. Strategize! Brazil, Economic Democracy, Liberation, Solidarity Economy

By applying theoretical principles of network analysis to economics, I was able to formulate a strategy of collaborative solidarity networks as a means of economic liberation. This work had a very controversial scientific dimension and I wanted to give it a consistent formulation. So, in the late 1990s, I developed software to demonstrate the possibility of making consistent projections by modeling economic flows. That is, at the outset the goal was to create a simulation of economic feedback flows, on a scientific basis, in order to test the validity of the approach. The first program – RedeSol (Rede Solidária) – was published in 1999, and was available to download on a software repository in Brazil.

From The Rivers To The Seas Of The World, The Peoples Of This Planet Must Be Liberated

March 28, 2024 Black Agenda Report. Strategize! colonization, Israel, Liberation, Palestine, Western imperialism

Gaza dramatically stripped away the murderous hypocrisy and deadly intransigence of U.S. and Western imperialism’s commitment to maintaining global hegemony by “any means necessary,” including using the weapon of genocide. For the Black Alliance for Peace, we have not been surprised by the barbarism of the U.S. and Israeli settler states. In fact, everything that has transpired since our founding in 2017 was predicted, including the jettisoning of all pretense to any commitment to so-called liberal values by the White West as it pursued its military-first strategies.

The Myth Of Palestinian Division

March 4, 2024 Miko Peled, MintPress News. Resistance Report Democracy, Israel, Liberation, Occupation, Palestine

Palestinians are divided and do not know what they want; Palestinians have no leadership; Palestinians need a Nelson Mandela; these are some of the statements made by people who are “experts” on Palestine. It is time to refute these claims and place them in the appropriate place – the garbage. Let’s go through these claims one by one. I have never met a Palestinian who does not want to see all of Palestine free and every refugee return. I do not believe such a Palestinian exists. So there is no division there. When people claim that Palestinians are divided, they are referring to the Hamas-Fateh divide.
