We All Came Here From Somewhere

September 11, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Educate! Capitalism, Immigration, Neoliberalism, Working Class

Everywhere we go in the world today, from the Global North to the Global South, we are inundated with rising anti-immigrant rhetoric. It seems to be an inescapable part of public discourse. This discourse is particularly toxic in the Global North, where it has become a central pillar of the Far Right of a Special Type. In December 2025, US President Donald Trump called Somali immigrants in the US ‘garbage’ and said they should be sent ‘back to where they came from’. Trump’s Vice President JD Vance has said that immigration is the ‘greatest threat’ to both the United States and Europe.

The Transnational Technocratic Machine: Class War Behind The Flags

August 30, 2026 Gloria Guillo, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Global Economy, Global elites, Technology, Working Class

The story sold to populations is that the United States, China, Russia, and Iran are locked in geopolitical rivalry, each building separate military-industrial systems to confront the others. That narrative conceals the deeper structure. The weapons carry national markings. The technological base that makes them possible does not. Semiconductors, sensors, power electronics, microcontrollers, RF components, machine tools, and industrial equipment move through the same global commercial networks. Components pass through distributors, brokers, front companies, and third countries before they appear in missiles, drones, radar, or electronic-warfare systems on every side.

The Danger Of Food Industry Deregulation Today

August 30, 2026 Rob Warzyniak, People's World. Educate! Food Safety, health, Regulations, Working Class

When The Jungle was published in 1906, writer and journalist Upton Sinclair hoped his novel would advance socialism by exposing the plight of the wage slave, dangerous working conditions, and the general hopelessness that undermined the working class’s struggle. Sinclair exposed the Chicago meatpacking industry and the workers who struggled within it, giving a voice to the voiceless while also exposing the corruption of those in positions of power. The struggle of an immigrant family from Lithuania drives the plot, and Sinclair touches on working-class poverty, lack of social support, and poor living and working conditions.

‘Medics For The People’ Turns Health Care Into Organizing

August 27, 2026 Joe Todd, Progressive International. Organize! Belgium, Community Clinics, Health Care, Working Class

Medics for the People (MPLP) operates eleven medical centers across Belgium, integrating primary healthcare with political organizing. Doctors use a "social stethoscope" to diagnose individual health problems—workplace injuries, chronic conditions, mental distress—as symptoms of structural inequality rather than personal failings. Patients are mobilized into collective action on issues from environmental health to pharmaceutical pricing. Funded through a government capitation model that eliminates per-consultation incentives, MPLP maintains a transparent association with the Workers' Party of Belgium while navigating tensions between immediate care and long-term movement building.

Co-Governance And The Next 250 Years Of American Democracy

August 21, 2026 Liz Sullivan-Yuknis and Anna Canning, In These Times. Create! Co-governance, Democracy, Governance, Working Class

As the fireworks fade from the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, it’s time to reflect on what we want to see over the next 250 years of American democracy. The founding promise of this country, that “all men are created equal” was written by a few property-owning white men. And for the last 250 years, movements for justice have fought to close the gap between that promise and the reality. That fight continues in this moment as armed ICE agents snatch people off the streets, the Supreme Court affirms states’ rights to disenfranchise Black and Brown voters, and unelected billionaires run roughshod over basic rights.

Fighting The Corporate Duopoly At The Ballot Box

June 26, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. Resistance Report Congress, Elections, Kshama Sawant, Socialism, Working Class

In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, Chris Hedges speaks with Kshama Sawant, a revolutionary socialist based in Seattle, Washington, who is challenging long-time incumbent Democrat Adam Smith for Congress. Sawant served in the Seattle City Council for more than a decade during which she and her supporters won unprecedented victories for higher wages, affordable housing, taxing Amazon, LGBTQ rights and more. She then went on to organize a national working-class movement, Workers Strike Back. Sawant is building on that work by running a courageous and unabashed anti-capitalist campaign for the working class.

How Capitalism Kills The Game For Poor And Working Class People

June 18, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Capitalism, Imperialism, Sportwashing, Working Class, world cup

Capitalism has a way of rendering what was once accessible to, and tactile for the masses into distant memories that themselves become the only thing that can be possessed, which is not a bad thing until said memories become the only thing that can be possessed due to profound wealth and income iniquity. For myself, I remember a time when my single, working class mother and I could impulsively decide to go to a Yankees game or a Knicks game the same day they were being played. Moms would head to the Chemical Bank ATM, take out $40, and have the ability to purchase two decent seats along with refreshments for both of us to enjoy.

The Threat Of Big Insurance

June 15, 2026 David Dayen, Portside. Educate! Finance, Health Insurance, Profiteers, Working Class

Earlier this month, the California-based organization Consumer Watchdog uncovered an incredible scandal involving rideshare company Uber, which we covered on the most recent episode of my podcast Organized Money. The company pleaded to the California legislature last year that its insurance costs had spiked so much that the state needed to decrease required payouts on its mandated uninsured motorist coverage. “They literally said 45 cents out of every dollar is going to insurance,” Jamie Court, president of Consumer Watchdog, told me.

The World Needs A Living Left

June 12, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! Imperialism, Liberation, South Africa, The Left, Working Class

From 29 to 31 May, forces of the South African left gathered in Johannesburg, South Africa, for the Conference of the Left. It is important to understand the context for this meeting. More than thirty years after the end of formal apartheid, South Africa’s people still struggle to meet their basic needs, with unemployment at 32.7% officially and 43.7% when discouraged workers – those available for work but no longer looking – are included. Meanwhile, the country’s riches are extracted by multinational corporations.

Respect Is the Foundation Of Organizing

June 9, 2026 Ellen David Freidman, Labor Notes. Organize! Rank and File, Unions, Worker Rights, Working Class

Solidarity among co-workers is your source of power against the employer. And one essential ingredient for solidarity is respect. In the workplace we typically don’t experience respect—we experience coercion. No matter how much the boss may call us “partners” or claim “we’re a family here,” the employment relationship is fundamentally undemocratic: The employer makes the decisions, and workers are required to comply. The union must be different in its DNA. Starting with the first building block of organizing, the one-on-one conversation, your goal is to show your respect for your co-workers.

The Quiet Resistance Of Working-Class Women In Egypt

May 24, 2026 Farah Awadalla, Waging Nonviolence. Resist! Egypt, Mutual Aid, Women Activism, Working Class

When public dissent is risky or impossible, resistance does not disappear. It often becomes quieter, more practical and harder to recognize. For many working-class women in Egypt, it takes shape not in slogans or demonstrations, but in the daily tactics they use to protect income, reduce dependence, share care work and move more safely through public space. Samah, a worker in Cairo, offers one example. (The women featured in this article are identified by their first names only, with surnames omitted to protect their privacy.) On her way to work, she buys vegetables for dinner and carries them with her in a plastic bag.

Three Promising Innovations In Worker Organizing Beyond The NLRB

May 5, 2026 Maria Esch, Inequality.org. Strategize! Labor Movement, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Unions, Working Class

Union density has been in sharp decline since the 1970s and recently reached a low at 9.9 percent in 2024. Despite a recent uptick in union elections and increased enthusiasm for the labor movement from a new generation of workers, the fact of the matter is that current strategies to reverse the decline are failing. To increase union density by even 1 percent, we would need to get more than one million additional workers unionized through the National Labor Relations Board — an especially tall order when you consider that unions lost nearly 170,000 members overall between 2023 and 2024 to retirement, decertification, and more.

How Organizers Are Building The Infrastructure Behind May Day

April 26, 2026 Neidi Dominguez, Inequality.org. Organize! Community Defense, May Day, Worker Rights, Working Class

On May 1, workers, students, and families across this country will march, rally, and take action together to demand a country that puts workers over billionaires. But a national day of action does not appear out of nowhere. It is built, block by block, conversation by conversation, in the months before anyone takes to the streets. A few weeks ago, Organized Power in Numbers organizers and volunteers were walking Santee Alley in LA’s Fashion District. Los Angeles is the nation’s garment production capital, home to over 45,000 workers, most of them Latino and Asian immigrants, who take home roughly $300 a week cutting, sewing, and finishing the clothes that stock U.S. stores.
