Mass Action

Argentina Passes Anti-Labor Law

In the early hours of Thursday morning, the Argentine Senate passed President Javier Milei’s labor reform bill, with 42 votes in favor and 30 against. The bill is part of Milei’s broader attempts to crush working class organization and resistance in a state where real wages have plummeted by more than 37 percent since 2017 and continue to fall despite efforts to curb inflation by cutting public services.  If passed by the Chamber of Deputies, the bill would extend the standard work day to 12 hours, reduce overtime pay and severance, make it easier for employers to fire employees, and severely limit collective bargaining.

International Opposition To Trump, ICE Shapes Milan Olympics Opening

The 2026 Winter Olympics has seen an outpouring of opposition to Trump and the presence in Milan of agents of his murderous Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Italy’s fascist prime minister, Georgia Meloni, welcomed US Vice President JD Vance to Milan and placed the city on lockdown. Nearly 6,000 heavily-armed Italian police and military officers are patrolling the streets. Snipers are deployed on the rooftops, no-fly zones have been established across the city and a special decree allows police to jail people in Milan for 12 hours on the flimsy grounds that police suspect they might engage in violent protest.

Stunning Crowds At Minnesota Day Of Strike Against ICE

Tens of thousands of Minnesotans chanting ​“No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here,” marched through downtown Minneapolis Friday afternoon to demand ICE leave the state.  The massive demonstration in subzero temperatures was a central part of an economic shutdown that included strikes, arrests and civil disobedience, hundreds of businesses closing their doors, and rallies. The call for ​“no work, no school, no shopping” was put out publicly roughly 10 days ago by a coalition of unions, faith groups and community organizations.

Broad Antifascist Front Confronts Far-Right Violence In Croatia

Tens of thousands of people in four Croatian cities took to the streets on Sunday, November 30, responding to a call from the initiative United Against Fascism (Ujedinjeni protiv fašizma), a broad coalition of civil society organizations and grassroots groups. Marchers in Zagreb, Rijeka, Zadar, and Pula denounced the escalating wave of far-right violence and historical revisionism, vowing to build broad resistance to trends that are encouraged and supported by the political establishment. “We stand united against fascism because, day after day, we are not witnessing isolated outbursts, but the emergence of a blueprint – one that grows when we remain silent, gains strength when we tolerate it, and ultimately turns fear into the rule rather than the exception,” United Against Fascism declared in its call.

17th Annual Black People’s March On The White House

On November 1- 2 the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations will hold its 17th Annual Black People’s March on the White House in Washington, D.C.  This year’s Black People’s March on the White House comes at a critical time when the world is watching the U.S. descend into a deepening crisis, with the breakdown of its foundational institutions and principles of free speech, religion, assembly and association.  In a September 25, 2025 presentation to hundreds of generals and admirals of the U.S. military, the US president called on the military to make the war “at home,” in the US and to begin initiating war games, deploying national guard troops to the cities where Africans have a heavy presence. This is a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits the use of federal troops in police actions within the U.S.

No Kings And The Lure Of Spectacle

Many years ago the late Glen Ford, then the Black Agenda Report executive editor, related his experience with the One Million Man March, which took place on October 16, 1995, in Washington, DC. It was organized by Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam and was meant to be a day for Black men to “atone” for what were said to be their shortcomings. There were a multitude of opinions about whether Black men had to atone for anything at all, or whether its male orientation was sexist, or whether Farrakhan should have been the organizer. But on that day, the controversy was forgotten as somewhere between 500,000 and 1 million men attended.

Venezuela Demands UN Action To Halt US Military Threat

This Monday, Venezuelans took to the streets in great numbers from Petare, east of Caracas, toward the United Nations (UN) headquarters to chant “no to war” and to condemn constant threats from the United States and a possible US military attack against Venezuela. Upon arriving at the UN headquarters, the marchers delivered a letter asking the UN to uphold its founding Charter in the face of what many consider a US threat to Venezuela disguised as a “war on drugs.” From outside the UN resident coordinator’s office in Caracas, Pedro Infante of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) urged the international organization to ensure compliance with the principles of the Charter, especially that of “maintaining international peace.”

Protests Continue In Peru, As Polls Register 96% Rejection Of Boluarte

Another massive mobilization took place on October 4 in Lima, Peru’s capital, against the government of Dina Boluarte. With this mobilization, it has now been three weeks in a row that thousands of Peruvians have taken to the streets to demand an end to the proposed pension reform, corruption, insecurity, and police abuse. But, as several analysts have pointed out, the protests are no longer focused solely on specific issues, but on raising the demand for an end to the Boluarte government. Boluarte took office after the overthrow of then-President Pedro Castillo, and led to the deaths of more than 60 Peruvians following massive protests between 2022 and 2023.

In Berlin, 100,000 Demonstrate For Gaza

On Saturday, 100,000 people joined the “Together for Gaza” demonstration in Berlin, filling the wide avenue between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column. It was the biggest Palestine solidarity event that Germany has ever seen. People had come by bus and train from across the country to speak up against the German government’s ongoing support for genocide. Some of the country’s biggest lefty hiphop acts like K.I.Z. and PTK performed onstage alongside speakers from the human rights organization Medico International and the Global Sumud Flotilla. In polls, up to 80 percent of German citizens say they think Israel’s “military actions” are not justified, and that Germany should reduce or altogether stop weapons shipments to the country.

Italy Paralyzed As Anti-Genocide Protesters Take The Streets

Workers across Italy launched a nationwide strike on 22 September to oppose Israel’s genocide in Gaza, halting public transport, rail services, schools, public offices, and ports in more than 60 cities. Italian grassroots trade union, Unione Sindacale di Base (USB), called the strike to force Rome to “immediately break off relations with the terrorist state of Israel, which is the concrete way in which Italy can, and must, react to the genocide that is taking place.” Rail freight was suspended on Sunday night, with ports including Ravenna, Livorno, Trieste, and Genoa joining the actions. In Genoa, dockworkers blocked a vessel scheduled for Israel, while in Livorno, access to the port was restricted by protesters. In Rome, several regional trains were canceled and others delayed for more than an hour, while in Milan, the city’s M4 metro line was shut down.

Campaign Nonviolence Action Days In Challenging Times

For 12 years, Campaign Nonviolence has worked with tens of thousands of people to build a culture of active nonviolence. Looking at the devastating violence in our world — from racism to war to poverty to the climate crisis — we asked people to join us in engaging the transformative power of nonviolence in our lives, communities and society.  Thousands of groups joined in. Over the years, they’ve marched against gun violence. Created zones of peace in violence-prone areas. Shut down military bases. Trained thousands of students in anti-bullying practices. Held racial healing circles. Distributed tens of thousands of meals in mutual aid. Pressured banks to divest from fossil fuels and weapons. And so much more. 

Thousands To Join ‘Mass March For Humanity’ Against Starvation Of Gaza

On Saturday, August 16, demonstrators are set to march in protest of Israel’s starvation of Gaza in a “Mass March for Humanity” through the streets of New York City. Over 200 organizations have endorsed, coming from an array of diverse backgrounds including the Palestinian diaspora, pro-Palestine solidarity groups, labor unions, anti-war groups, faith groups, and others. Buses are set to travel from across the northeastern United States, including from Baltimore, Boston, Burlington, New Hampshire, Philadelphia, Providence and Washington, DC. “​​Genocide will never stop without global intervention,” Dr. Nidal Jboor, the cofounder of Doctors Against Genocide, told Peoples Dispatch.

Yvette Cooper Just Doubled Down On Her Palestine Action Lies

Defend Our Juries has confirmed that 500+ people have committed to holding ‘I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action’ signs on Saturday 9 August in central London, as part of the Lift the Ban campaign to end the proscription of Palestine Action. The news comes as Yvette Cooper went in the corporate media to repeat her lies that Palestine Action are a ‘violent threat’ to the country. The controversy over the government’s banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist group has continued unabated. As the Canary previously reported, on Wednesday 30 July the High Court granted permission to Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, to bring a full judicial review against the order of Yvette Cooper, proscribing the group as a ‘terrorist organisation’.

Youth-Led Anti-Corruption Movement Surges In The Gambia

Thousands of Gambians, mostly youth, took to the streets on July 23 in a historic anti-corruption protest, one of the largest in recent history. Led by Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA), protesters demanded justice, transparency, and accountability from the government. The demonstration was a culmination of months of mobilization by GALA, a people-powered movement that emerged earlier this year, in response to damning reports on the mismanagement of the sale of former president Yahya Jammeh’s recovered assets. According to GALA spokesperson Saibo, the movement started after an investigative report revealed irregularities in the sale of Jammeh’s seized properties.

How Farmers Defeated The Land Grab By India’s Karnataka State

On the 1,198th consecutive day of protest, farmers in Karnataka declared victory on July 15, forcing the south Indian state’s government to retreat from the plan to grab 1,777 acres of fertile, multi-cropped farmland across 13 villages. Meeting their representatives on Tuesday at Vidhana Soudha – the seat of the legislature in the state capital, Bangalore – Chief Minister (CM) Siddaramaiah announced the scrapping of land acquisition notices, recognizing the farmers’ struggle against the land grab as “historic”. He acknowledged that “writers, artists, communist party, people’s movements,” and the historically oppressed Dalit castes had all struggled alongside the resisting farmers, whose leaders emerged from the conference hall, triumphantly whirling their green neck scarves overhead.
