Caracas, Venezuela – On December 10, thousands of delegates from over 50 countries gathered into the Venezuelan military club for the second day of the International People’s Assembly for Sovereignty and Peace of Our Americas. The theme of unity was still present throughout the second day of the conference. Hundreds of delegates conversed with each other throughout the club before the start of the event. The U.S. delegation brought out a banner reading “No war on Venezuela campaign! Stop the wars at home and abroad!”

Bronx Project Sets New Standard For Community-Controlled Development

December 10, 2025 Oscar Perry Abello, Next City. Organize! Local Economy, New York City (NYC), Participatory Democracy, Urban Planning

Located in the Kingsbridge Heights section of the Bronx, the 570,000 square-foot Kingsbridge Armory was said to be the largest armory in the world when first completed in 1917. Above its columnless, 180,000 square-foot main drill hall, the vaulted ceiling peaks at around 120 feet. Two 140-foot tall headhouse towers flank the main entrance on Kingsbridge Road, giving the building its castle-like appearance. After the National Guard vacated the armory in 1994, the building reverted to city ownership two years later, and has sat mostly vacant ever since.

Inside Oakland’s Campaign To End Military Shipments To Israel

December 9, 2025 Joseph Mogul, Mondoweiss. Organize! Airplane, Genocide, grassroots organizing, Israel, Oakland, Weapons Embargo

Talia Rose starts their shift at Oakland International Airport (OAK) at 3:00 a.m., unloading same-day packages from UPS planes. Across the tarmac, they watch FedEx planes come and go. “I never had any idea what the hell is on those planes besides big metal containers that carry packages,” Rose said. But that would change in August, when Rose attended a local organizing forum where a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) presented a soon-to-be-public report titled “Exposing Oakland’s Military Cargo Shipments to Israel.”

To Get On Offense, Offer Workers Many Ways In

December 9, 2025 Diamonte Brown, Labor Notes. Organize! Baltimore, Political Education, Teachers, Unions

To fight back against authoritarianism and the billionaire takeover, the labor movement must get on offense. We must have our own agenda, set by rank-and-file members, rooted in the issues that members care most about—issues that unite us and build power. Maybe our agenda includes a starting wage of no less than $30 an hour, expanding workers’ rights, and building union membership to a supermajority in our bargaining units. We can be fighting for a lot of things. But to fight for any of them, we need enough involved union members, armed with political education and trained on organizing skills, to increase our fighting capacity.

Building A National Movement To Protect Small Businesses From Displacement

December 8, 2025 Eliana Perozo, Next City. Organize! Displacement, Gentrification, Small Businesses, Urban Design

Willow Lung doesn’t come from a background in finance or business. She’s a scholar and professor focused on gentrification, social inequality and urban development. But five years ago, near the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, she founded the Small Business Anti- Displacement Network (SBAN) at the University of Maryland, a member-based national network dedicated to helping small businesses survive and thrive as their neighborhoods change. Since then, SBAN has amassed 180 members and counting. “We have a lot of attention paid to housing issues and gentrifying neighborhoods and affordable housing policies, but we don’t have an equitable amount of attention, resources and policymaking around issues of commercial gentrification,” says Lung.

Support For Immigrants In Missouri Offers Resistance In A Red State

December 7, 2025 Brian Dolinar, Truthout. Organize! Detention, Immigrant Rights, Missouri, Solidarity

For more than 200 days, Fernando Herrera-Cruz has been sitting in a county jail in central Missouri on immigration charges. The conditions in the jail are “very bad,” Herrera-Cruz told Truthout, with the help of a translator. “There are some guards who are very racist towards immigrants.” Herrera-Cruz, who is 25 years old, left Mexico to come to the United States to work with his brother for a roofing business in St. Louis. He was travelling in rural Missouri for a job when the trailer on his truck got a flat tire. Herrera-Cruz says a passerby stopped, began harassing him, and called the police. When local sheriff’s deputies arrived, instead of helping with the flat tire, they arrested Herrera-Cruz.

Why America Is Removing Thousands Of Dams

December 7, 2025 Tara Lohan, Resilience.org. Organize! Biodiversity, Dams, Rivers, Water

With more than 550,000 dams in the United States, free-flowing rivers are an endangered species. We’ve dammed, diked, and diverted almost every major river in the country, straightening curves, pinching off floodplains, and blocking passage for fish and other aquatic animals. But this has come at a great cost. Freshwater biodiversity—all the organisms that hail from our rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands—is among the most threatened on the planet. Dams have played a big role in that demise, pushing fish, mussels, and other animals to the brink, and some over it. In North America, nearly 40 percent of fish are imperiled, and 61 species have blinked out since 1900.

Maybe A General Strike Isn’t So Impossible Now

December 6, 2025 Alex Han, Labor Notes. Organize! General Strike, Labor Movement, Unions, Worker Rights

Trump’s attacks on working people—threats to send troops into major U.S. cities, ripping collective bargaining rights from a million federal workers, an immigration enforcement terror campaign that borders on unconstitutional—have been so extreme that many people are talking about a general strike. These calls are coming not just from the usual suspects, but even from my own mayor, former Chicago Teachers Union leader and organizer Brandon Johnson. We’ve all heard calls for a general strike before—usually not as a serious proposal or strategy, but as a reaction to the attacks that working people face on a regular basis from existing political and economic power.

International Workers Build ‘People’s Embargo’ Against Israeli Genocide

December 4, 2025 Lallan Schoenstein, Struggle - La Lucha. Organize! BDS Movement, Embargo, Genocide, Israel, Mask Off Maersk, Palestine

From the docks of Oakland to the ports of Morocco, from Italian logistics hubs to South African coal mines, an international movement is taking shape to do what governments have refused: Cut off the flow of weapons and fuel sustaining Israel’s assault on Gaza. On Nov. 22, labor organizers, Palestinian activists, and anti-war campaigners from six countries gathered online to launch the People’s Embargo for Palestine — a coordinated effort to leverage workers’ power at critical chokepoints in the global military supply chain. The webinar brought together a veteran of the anti-apartheid struggle with a new generation of organizers who have notched concrete victories over the past year.

ICE Raids Turn Schools Into Battlegrounds To Defend Students

December 3, 2025 Barbara Madeloni, Labor Notes. Organize! Chicago, Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Public schools

Educator Carolyn Brown was meeting with school counselors when she got the call: ICE agents were out front. By the time she got out of the building, ICE had abducted a woman and her 17-year-old daughter, an American citizen. Brown, a coordinator of the International Baccalaureate program at Thomas Kelly College Prep, is also part of the rapid-response team for the school, in a Mexican enclave in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. The ICE agents were gone, for the moment. But in the stores across the street, people were too frightened to venture out.

The Climate Briefing Britain Can’t Ignore

December 1, 2025 Monica Piccinini, The Canary. Organize! climate crisis, Climate Science, collapse, United Kingdom (UK)

On 27 November, the National Emergency Briefing on Climate & Nature took place at Central Hall Westminster, bringing together leading experts from climate science, national security, energy, food systems, health, and the economy. Their mission was to deliver a stark, science-led wake up call to politicians, business leaders, and the media of the accelerating threats facing the UK. The message left the room in no doubt: Britain isn’t ready for what’s coming. Naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham opened the event with a stark warning: This beautiful little blue planet is where we will either learn to live in harmony with the environment or we will destroy ourselves and much of other life, too.

NYC To ICE: Get Out!

November 28, 2025 Renée Feltz, The Indypendent. Organize! Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Solidarity, New York City (NYC)

Many New Yorkers now carry a whistle to sound the alarm when they see teams of armed masked agents in fatigues and tactical gear who have started to menace the city, from Washington Heights to East Elmhurst. Others are texting each other in groups they created on the encrypted messaging app Signal. “I was getting notifications in our chat that ICE was knocking on doors, so we rushed over here to see what was happening,” said a Bensonhurst resident, who told AMNY they saw agents abduct a woman described as a young mother with an 8-month old baby.
