Counter Protest – October 19

On the 19th of October, the far right are marching again. Anti-fascist, leftist and migrant groups have come together to organise a united counter protest to politically counter the far right.  It's key for us to organise a demonstration that can outnumber the racists and fascists. The only way we can win is by building a movement that can eclipse theirs.  We need your help to make our demonstration as big as possible. Can you invite your friends? Share the instagram post on your story. You could get a crew together of your friends, colleagues or schoolmates. Paint a banner showing the world who you are!   Organise a placard-making session and invite people who haven't been to a counter protest before, so you can help them to feel confident to co...

AITUC Calls for Massive Movement Against Government Decision to Increase Workers’ Daily Working Hours from 8 to 10hours.

AITUC (All India Trade Union Congress) has called for massive movement opposing the state government’s decision to increase the daily working hours of workers from 8 to 10 hours and to allow women to work during night shifts. In the AITUC State Council meeting, this decision of the Govt was strongly opposed, and the organization demanded its immediate withdrawal. It was stated that the government, by amending the 1948 Factories Act, has increased the daily working hours from 8 to 10 under the influence of industrialists for their own benefit. Similarly, under the 1956 Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, employers were prohibited from engaging women in night shifts. However, in the present situation—when women face increasing insecurity in public life—the BJP government’s move to...

The triumph of the 3rd Intifada forces a ceasefire

La Marx International On October 9, delegates from the Israeli government and the Palestinian militias Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, meeting in Egypt, agreed to a ceasefire, the "first phase" of which involves an exchange of hostages, the withdrawal of Israeli troops and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to a temporary stop, and the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Under the agreement, Israel must release 250 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment and 1,700 captured Palestinians, while the Palestinian militias would hand over 20 captured Israelis and any bodies they could recover. The precarious and fragile agreement represents a humiliating defeat for Netanyahu and his government, which failed to achieve...

Protesters waved Palestinian flags and placards labelling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “genocidal war criminal” and calling for the “abolition of the Zionist state.” A group of Hong Kong activists marched in Tsim Sha Tsui on Tuesday to condemn Israel’s war on Gaza and to call for a ceasefire, marking two years since the latest conflict in the Palestinian territory began.

Weekly briefing by the Lindsey German

Good morning. The words of the second witch in Macbeth speak of an intuitive sense of danger. Many on the left have been experiencing similar intimations in recent weeks. One such was generated by the ‘peace plan’ engineered by Trump, backed by the craven Arab states, which will take any minimal power from the people of Gaza to have any say over their lives. The western imperialists will directly control Gaza, in the grotesque embodiment of the war criminal Tony Blair as a kind of imperial viceroy. There is massive pressure for Hamas to accept, as it already has in part, but it will do nothing for the liberation of the Palestinian people, nor will it stop the genocidal behaviour of the Israeli government. At the same time the genocide in Gaza and the complicity of the weste...
