[[link removed]]
_Egill Bjarnason_ / Associated Press (New York)
Schools, shops, banks and Iceland’s famous swimming pools shut on
Tuesday as women in the volcanic island nation — including the prime
minister — went on strike to push for an end to unequal
pay and gender-based violence. Trade unions, the strike’s main
organizers, called on women and nonbinary people to refuse paid and
unpaid work, including chores.

IRANIAN HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS: NO WAR WITH IRAN
[[link removed]]
_Jake Johnson_ / Common Dreams (Portland ME)
Dozens of Iranian human rights activists, including the husband of
jailed 2023 Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, released a
joint statement Tuesday condemning recent calls for war against Iran,
warning that a military attack on their country would undermine “the
legitimate struggle of the Iranian people for democracy and peace.”

BOLIVIA: THE MESS IN MAS
[[link removed]]
_Olivia Arigho Stile_s / Jacobin (New York)
Bolivia’s governing MAS party is mired in a deep crisis, the result
of political infighting and a sharp economic downturn. If the
country’s leftist leaders cannot come to some agreement, the unity
of organized labor and indigenous movements may be at risk.

LESSONS FROM THE SPANISH ELECTION
[[link removed]]
_Laura Chazel_ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Brussels)
This article ianalyses the different actors on the Spanish Left,
especially the PSOE and the new political movement Sumar_ _that
emerged in 2022. The analysis will be framed within the context of (1)
the policies implemented by the Spanish centre-left government,
particularly Sánchez’s second government which took office on 13
January 2020, and (2) the outcome of the 2023 general elections.

CABRAL SPEAKS [[link removed]]
_Mike Powell_ / Review of African Political Economy (London)
Amilcar Cabral was one of the most important figures of the 20th
Century. He created and led a revolutionary movement in his country
which not only led to its liberation against almost impossible odds
but did so in a way which prepared the ground for the subsequent
democratic revolution in the colonial power itself.

THE CANADIAN SIDE OF THE AUTO STRIKE
[[link removed]]
_Jim Stanford_ / rabble.ca (Toronto)
The UAW’s ambition is celebrated among unionists on both sides of
the border. It is another sign that the labour movement is rising. But
there’s no doubt their counterparts in Canada (represented by
Unifor) have been similarly ambitious. Unifor’s leaders also saw an
opportunity this year to make historic gains.

The idea of creating an English-language issue of _Commons _journal
has been discussed for a long time. The materials presented here are
not original articles written for this issue. They are either selected
texts that we have published since the beginning of the full-scale
invasion on our website, or publications with members of the editorial
