For this year’s International Workers’ Day, the Partido de los Trabajadores Socialistas (PTS) of the Left and Workers’ Front (FIT) is calling for a demonstration at the Brazilian Embassy in Buenos Aires to denounce the institutional coup in Brazil and support the youth and workers who are resisting austerity policies.

The rally will also show solidarity for the French youth who are fighting Hollande’s labor reforms, and gather the workers and youth of Argentina who are fighting harsh austerity measures at home.

In this video produced by the Partido de los Trabajadores Socialistas (PTS), the Left and Workers’ Front (FIT) calls for rallies in the capital and throughout the country.

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.

After suspending and evicting students and ordering the repression of a student occupation, Columbia University has become the ground zero for attacks against the pro-Palestine movement. What happens at Columbia in the coming days has implications for our basic democratic rights, such as the right to protest.
