AN ECOSOCIALIST STRATEGY TO WIN THE FUTURE
[[link removed]]
_Sabrina Fernandes_ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Berlin)
The ecological transition needs to make sense for workers everywhere.
A conversation around uneven and combined degrowth can actually
improve demands for socially necessary, good green jobs and the kind
of living arrangements that communities may desire — if, that is, we
centre our strategy on alternative frameworks of sufficiency,
solidarity, and justice.

ITUC WORLD CONGRESS: UNIONS BUILDING PEACE
[[link removed]]
International Trade Union Confederation
International humanitarian trade union solidarity, such as the major
efforts to support workers in Ukraine, Myanmar and elsewhere, is part
of a broader framework of union efforts to build and sustain peace and
to avoid conflicts and rebuild in their aftermath. This Freedom
Report and its case studies remind us of the critical role unions play
in opposing conflict, authoritarianism, and oppression.

SEXISM IN KENYA
[[link removed]]’S
JUSTICE MOVEMENT
[[link removed]]
_Lena Anyuolo_ / African Arguments (London)
Despite calling for liberation and social justice, activist spaces are
far from immune to aspects of patriarchy and its toxic effects. Female
activists in Kenya frequently suffer from mental stress and burnout as
their contributions are taken for granted, their work goes uncredited,
and their voices go unheard.

__________
IMPRISONED SANDINISTAS
[[link removed]]
_Dick Nichols_ / Green Left (Sydney)
Ortega and Murillo continue to scapegoat political prisoners as
“agents of the Empire”, cracking down on any form of civic
activity independent of their regime’s structures. This even
includes Sandinista organisations such as the Association of Retired
Fighters of the Sandinista People’s Army. Imprisoned former FSLN
leader Dora María Téllez is on hunger strike.
__________
RED VALKYRIES
[[link removed]]
_Rachel Collett_ / Red Pepper (London)
Accessibly written and extensively researched, _Red
Valkyries_ recovers the stories of five socialist women, offering a
welcome alternative history of 20th-century feminism from the
perspective of eastern European revolutionary politics.
__________
IS THE ANC DOOMED?
[[link removed]]
_Raymond Suttner_ / Polity (Johannesburg)
The notion of who are criminals has been reconfigured under ANC
leadership. Criminality is no longer an isolated activity of a
criminal class, but is now part of being in the political class or
leadership that grants opportunities to steal and commit a range of
other crimes (and this is not restricted to the ANC, although other
parties have had less access to the levers of power).
