Jan 28, 2026 - A Global Wave of Resistance to the US Empire

By Palestinian BDS National Committee

The US administration has unilaterally announced a so-called "Board of Peace" for Gaza led by US President Trump in a statement that completely omitted any mention of Palestinians. This board is packed with Israel-First politicians and billionaires and installs an Israel-biased former UN envoy who is controlled by the UAE despotic regime as the colonial viceroy of the illegally occupied Gaza Strip, supervising a "technocratic" Palestinian committee. The Palestinian BDS National Committee, the largest Palestinian civil society coalition leading the global BDS movement, condemns and rejects this thinly-veiled attempt to normalize Israel's ongoing genocide, rehabilitate its genocidal regime, and rescue it from its global isolation. The Indigenous Palestinian people will never give up our inalienable rights.

Jan 26, 2026 - The Promise That Canada Broke

By Migrant Rights Network

It's been a month since Prime Minister Mark Carney cancelled the caregiver permanent residency program, at least for 2026. He did it on December 19th - the Friday before Christmas, one day after International Migrants Day. For decades, the caregiver program came with a clear promise: provide essential care for our families, and you will be granted permanent residency. That guarantee convinced thousands of women to uproot their lives to come here.

Jan 25, 2026 - Iran: Regime Change or Leader Change

By Saeed Rahnema

Iran is once again in turmoil. Street uprisings have shaken the very foundations of the clerical regime, and its apparatus of repression is brutally killing unarmed demonstrators. The current movement shares both similarities and differences with the previous mass movement of 2022, Woman / Life / Freedom. That earlier movement was primarily social and cultural in nature: Iranian women, supported by youth, rose against the compulsory hijab policy. Despite paying a heavy price, they succeeded in pushing the regime back. Today, among predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East, Iran has the highest number of unveiled women visible in public spaces.

Jan 21, 2026 - Social Strikes: Confronting ICE and Resisting Authoritarianism

As authoritarian politics harden in the United States, familiar channels of resistance are proving dangerously inadequate. Elections are constrained, courts are under siege, and dissent is increasingly met with repression in the streets. In this moment, questions of power - who has it, how it is exercised, and how it can be withdrawn - are no longer abstract. They are immediate and practical. Labour historian and longtime organizer Jeremy Brecher has spent decades grappling with these questions, and in a recent series of reports, culminating in "Social Strikes: Can General Strikes, Mass Strikes, and People Power Uprisings Provide a Last Defense Against MAGA Tyranny?" he argues that large-scale noncooperation may be one of the few strategies capable of halting an authoritarian slide.
