Early on Thursday morning, the police brutally repressed PepsiCo workers who occupied the factory three weeks ago in defense of their jobs. The 600 workers gained national and international solidarity for their struggle. On Thursday, they put up a struggle against the eviction, which was televised in all major Argentine news channels.

After the eviction, there was a massive show of solidarity, with hundreds of letters and tweets. The Madres de La Plaza de Mayo called for a mobilization in support of the workers and the Sarmiento line of the train organized a work stoppage.

Faculty, Staff, and Students Must Unite Against Repression of the Palestine Movement

As Gaza solidarity encampments spread across the United States, faculty and staff are mobilizing in solidarity with their students against repression. We must build on that example and build a strong campaign for our right to protest.

Against the Criminalization of Opinion and in Defense of Our Right to Support Palestine: We Must Stand Up!

In France, the repression of Palestine supporters is escalating. A conference by La France Insoumise (LFI) has been banned; a union leader has been arrested and charged for speaking out for Palestine; court cases have increased against those who “condone terrorism”; and the state has stepped up its “anti-terrorism” efforts. In the face of all this, we must stand together.
