Abolitionist Feminism

April 12, 2026 Sarah Jaffe, Dissent Magazine. Strategize! Abolition, Feminism, Marxism, Patriarchy, Working Class

With her 2011 book The Problem with Work, political theorist Kathi Weeks helped kickstart a theoretical renaissance of work-critical socialist feminism. Now she’s back with a new volume blending that critique of labor with prison and family abolitionism. Weeks takes the work of Shulamith Firestone, Donna Haraway, and Angela Davis as her starting point for a consideration of what it means to be an abolitionist today. Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures is an argument for the importance of Marxist feminism, and a call for structural thinking and collective action in the face of so much pressure to think and act on an individual scale.

Our Political Class Goes All In On A Permanent War State

April 11, 2026 Sarah Lazare, In These Times. Educate! Austerity, Iran, Ruling Elites, Wars and Militarism, Working Class

Less than 24 hours after the U.S.-Israeli coalition bombed oil depots around Tehran on March 7, blanketing the city of 10 million with smoke that blotted out the sun, Brenda — 6,300 miles away in South Baltimore — found out she had lost her food stamps. She had checked the status of her SNAP benefits after I had first interviewed her a few days prior about the United States spending billions on war with Iran while Americans like her struggle to eat. When she logged in to the online portal, she discovered her food stamps had been terminated.

New Festival Brings Workers’ Struggle And Solidarity To Cornwall Coast

April 10, 2026 The Canary. Organize! Austerity, Unions, United Kingdom (UK), Working Class

Trade unionists, families, and campaigners will gather on the Cornwall coast this June for Unite on the Hill. It’s a new festival that aims to combine culture, community, and class politics. Branch SW008 of the Unite union is organising the event. It’ll take place from 19–21 June 2026 at Maker Heights (PL10 1LA) and bring together live music, food, and family activities. There’ll be a programme of political discussion addressing issues facing working people in Devon and Cornwall. The festival comes at a time when the region is facing rising levels of insecure, low-paid work and some of the highest rates of child poverty in the UK.

Gearing Up For May Day: Solidarity Schools Spread

March 20, 2026 Jackson Potter, Labor Notes. Organize! May Day, Solidarity Schools, Unions, Working Class

Last year a network of unions and community organizations organized the largest May Day actions in U.S. history: 1,200 actions in all 50 states. This year, the stakes are even higher, and the examples inspiring us are even bolder. The Chicago Teachers Union’s House of Delegates, the union’s governing body, has endorsed a national call for “no school, no work, no shopping” on May 1. Recent boycotts of Disney, Target, and Tesla have shown us that we can shake the pillars of corporate America. The massive Day of Truth and Freedom in Minnesota January 23 showed us that we can remove the head of the Border Patrol.

Workers Need More Paths To Join The Labor Movement

February 25, 2026 Roz Hunter and Megan Svoboda, Labor Notes. Organize! EWOC, Unions, Worker Rights, Working Class

It shouldn’t be so hard for workers to join a union. Nearly half of non-unionized workers in the U.S. say they would join a union if they could. Yet only 1 in 10 belongs to one, and that number continues to fall. The main path to unionization, through a National Labor Relations Board election or the public sector equivalent, has long been broken and favors employers. While unionizing through the NLRB must remain a central strategy, alone it isn’t enough. Imagine you’re a worker at Target who wants to organize, but none of the unions in your area is willing to support you.

DSA’s ‘Rank-And-File Strategy” Has 60s Roots In Berkeley

February 17, 2026 Steve Early, Popular Resistance. Strategize! DSA, Rank and File, Socialism, Unions, Working Class

Some young radicals are still pondering how they should relate, personally and collectively, to the labor movement. Should they try to become agents of workplace change while serving on the staff of local, regional, or national unions? Or should they organize “on the shop-floor”—in non-union shops or as a unionized teacher, nurse, or social worker? And then, later on, seek elected, rather than appointed, union leadership roles? A few years ago, delegates to a national convention of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) debated this latter strategy and then narrowly passed a resolution favoring the rank-and-file route.

A Valentine From Revolutionary Alexandra Kollontai

February 14, 2026 Serena Sojic-Borne, Fight Back! News. Educate! Patriarchy, Revolution, Soviet Union, Women's Activism, Working Class

In Sexual Relations and the Class Struggle, the Soviet revolutionary Alexandra Kollontai wrote: “Throughout the long journey of human history, you probably won’t find a time when the problems of sex have occupied such a central place in the life of society.” These were opening lines, written 105 years ago, to a message of undying love for the working class. In this pamphlet, Kollontai sketched out how capitalism perverts our relationships. It restricts the deep personal connections that we long for. To truly change our hearts, she said, we need to change the system. And we change it in the passion and solidarity of class struggle.

Global Palestine Rises To Defeat Global Israel

February 9, 2026 Adrienne Pine, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Dockworkers, ICE, Israel, Italy, Olympics, Palestine, Student Activism, Working Class

The key to developing a good strategy is knowing your enemy. Friday’s actions were important precisely that because they stem from a clear understanding of how Zionist imperialism works. Some years ago Palestinian scholar Magid Shihade introduced the concept of Global Israel. One key element of his multifaceted theory is that that in order to maintain its genocidal project in Palestine, Israel has infringed on the basic human rights of people everywhere, and has worked to prevent nations from exercising their own sovereignty through replicating its settler colonial governance techniques and technologies around the world.

International Opposition To Trump, ICE Shapes Milan Olympics Opening

February 9, 2026 Alex Lantier, WSWS.org. Resist! Capitalism, ICE, Italy, Mass Action, Olympics, Socialism, Working Class

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.

José Martí: Building A Revolutionary Movement For Independence

February 2, 2026 Sharon Black, Struggle - La Lucha. Strategize! Cuba, Jose Marti, Revolution, Working Class

Jose Martí’s revolutionary consciousness did not emerge in a vacuum; it was forged in the harsh crucible of colonial Cuba. Born in Havana to a Spanish artillery sergeant and a Canary Islands native, he witnessed from his earliest years the brutal contradictions of the slave-owning colony. His humble family moved from the city to the countryside, where the young Martí saw firsthand the inhumanity of the plantation system. This direct, visceral exposure to the violence of chattel slavery planted the seeds of his lifelong, uncompromising abolitionism.

What Is An Assembly? A Guide To True Democracy

December 26, 2025 Mike Pappas and Pola Posen, Left Voice. Strategize! Democracy, Governance, People's Assemblies, Working Class

Today, we hear a lot about “democracy” from politicians and the mainstream media. Just a year ago, Kamala Harris claimed the U.S. was the “greatest democracy in the history of the world.” Meanwhile Trump, in his inaugural address to his second term, preached about how his return to office would restore democracy and freedom. Democrats, meanwhile, claim that Trump is a threat to “our democracy,” using it to help make themselves seem like the lesser of two evils. And while it’s true that he attacks democratic rights in every way, the idea that before Trump there was real democracy for the working class and oppressed is laughable.

Cost-Of-Living Crisis Persists For US Workers

December 13, 2025 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. Educate! Inflation, Trump Administration, US Economy, Working Class

“I’m drowning in debt,” says Samuel De La Cruz, a 34-year-old aspiring software engineer (once a highly stable, almost foolproof career) struggling to make ends meet. Stories like his are increasingly common for millions of US households. Yet, on December 9, the White House released a self-congratulating statement claiming that the cost-of-living crisis in the United States is being reversed under the Trump Administration. The president’s cartoonish claims of an “A++++” economy are starkly at odds with the day-to-day experience of the vast majority of the population.

Why A Caribbean Zone Of Radical Peace Is Vital

December 3, 2025 Keston Perry, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Caribbean, CARICOM, Solidarity, US Imperialism, Working Class

The Caribbean Sea has once again become a theater for the renewed geopolitical ambitions of a waning US empire, which is strategizing to bolster its last bastion of hegemony. The arrival of the nuclear-equipped USS Gerald R. Ford on November 15, 2025—the largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, spearheading the most intense military deployment in the region in decades- signals a stark attempt to reaffirm US domination. It reminds us of the Caribbean’s central position in the history of empires and why our only option is to resist these machinations through the pursuit of a radical peace and working-class unity.

SNAP Axe Could Fall On Grocery Shoppers And Workers Alike

November 1, 2025 Caitlyn Clark, Labor Notes. Educate! Grocery Workers, SNAP, Unions, Working Class

Beginning November 1, 42 million Americans who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, more commonly known as “food stamps,” are set to go without benefits. Among them are union members in underpaid industries like grocery and retail. SNAP keeps millions of Americans and their families from going hungry. Due to the government shutdown, new SNAP funding has not been allocated by Congress, and existing funding has run out. This would be the first time in the program’s 61-year history that SNAP benefits have not been paid. For years Congress has appropriated a SNAP contingency fund to cover emergencies like a shutdown. UFCW Votes, the United Food and Commercial Workers’ political arm, has launched a petition calling for the release of these funds, something the AFL-CIO and 25 other unions are also calling for.

October 22, 2025 Defending Rights and Dissent. Educate! Documentary, Occupy Movement, Washington DC, Working Class

In 2011, millions rose up against Wall Street gangsters who crashed the global economy. Occupy Wall Street: An American Dream (dir. Michelle Fawcett, 2025, 51 min.) is an electrifying look at how a populist upsurge swept the nation, put oligarchs on their back foot, and revived working-class politics. Reserve your seat to see the DC premier of this new documentary followed by a conversation with Dr. Margaret Flowers, Chip Gibbons, Omar Ocampo, and Arun Gupta.
