__________IN BRAZIL, LANDLESS WORKERS’ MOVEMENT LEADS THE WAY

After 40 years of struggle, Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement is
now at nearly two million members and taking center stage in the fight
for democracy and equality. It’s done that by flying the most
unlikely militant banner of all: organic food.
__________AMAZON WORKERS STAGE GLOBAL PROTEST

_Pranav Dixit _/ Business Insider (New York)
Amazon workers in more than 30 countries launched coordinated strikes
and protests on Black Friday, kicking off the sixth annual “Make
Amazon Pay” campaign with what organizers say is the movement's
largest mobilization to date. The wave of walkouts, rallies, and
demonstrations ran through December 1, spanning warehouses, data
centers, offices, and public spaces worldwide.
__________CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM’S MISSION

Expanding welfare with a dilapidated state apparatus; pursuing
neo-developmentalist strategies amid escalating ecological crisis;
passing progressive taxation reform amidst stagnant economic growth;
freeing Mexico’s economy from its subordinate status without
abandoning global markets _tout court_. These interlocking issues
illuminate the structural limits and strategic dilemmas facing
progressive forces worldwide.
__________THE DAYS ITALY STOOD STILL

Although it had been simmering for months, few foresaw the magnitude
of what unfolded between 22 September and 4 October 2025, when Italy
— long perceived as apathetic, politically demobilized, and
fragmented — suddenly came to a standstill. Under the cry
“_Blocchiamo Tutto_”, Let’s Block Everything, a mass
mobilization for the people of Gaza spread across the nation.
__________A MILLION VOICES FOR REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE

My Voice, My Choice (MVMC) is a European Citizens’ Initiative and
one of the strongest feminist movements in Europe, supported by more
than 300 organisations and a broad network of volunteers. Its aim is
simple but urgent: to ensure that anyone in the EU who needs an
abortion can access safe care, no matter where they live.
__________KENYA LEFT ALLIANCE

_Njuki Githethwa_ / rs21 (London)
The Kenya Left Alliance (KLA) is an alliance of progressive political
parties, organisations, movements and individuals within Kenya. We
brought about 30 organisations together, including parties, feminist
collectives, student unions, cultural and artistic groups, radical
academics and many more. We also include individuals who are not
aligned to any organisation. The KLA offers them space and helps build
their consciousness.
__________COLOMBIA: PETRO STANDS WITH PALESTINE

_Abigail Kret and Gabe Levine-Drizin_ / Jacobin
President Gustavo Petro’s efforts to halt the genocide in Gaza have
brought Colombia into conflict with the neoliberal order. To hold
Israel accountable, nations will have to challenge their free-trade
agreements and reclaim their economic sovereignty.
__________MASS PROTEST IN EASTERN EUROPE

__________GEN Z ACTION IGNITES ACROSS MOROCCO

_Federica Saini Fasanotti_ / GIS Reports (Schaan, Liechtenstein)
Since late September, Morocco has witnessed a wave of protests not
only in its major urban centers, such as Rabat, Casablanca and
Marrakesh, but also in medium-sized towns and smaller municipalities
across the country. Moroccan youth are leading this so-called
Gen-Z 212 mobilization, with the national telephone code +212
emphasizing their rootedness in the Moroccan context.
__________VIETNAM TURNS THE TABLES ON TRUMP’S TARIFFS
[[link removed]]
_William Pesek_ / Asia Times (Hong Kong)
Teflon Vietnam. This banner normally refers to the nation’s thriving
trade in polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene resins. These days, it
describes an economy to which nothing sticks, least of all US tariffs.
In the third quarter, as Donald Trump slapped a 20% levy on Vietnam,
the economy grew a China-beating 8.22% year on year. The factories
Trump thought would return to our rust belt instead moved to Ho Chi
Minh City.
