🇦🇷 "Since they didn't kill me, I have to be in prison."
The campaign of lawfare against former president and left-wing leader Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner continues. An appeals court ratified her guilty sentence in a trumped case full of inconsistencies and errors according to her supporters.
Thousands took to the streets to show their support for the leader of the Kirchnerismo and to let what they call the "Judicial Mafia" know that the Argentinian people support CFK.
CFK's defense will appeal the sentence of six years in prison and the life ban from politics, which seems to be the final goal of the right-wing judges.

🇵🇸Pro-Palestine activists organized a mass protest outside Israeli owned arms manufacturer Rafael in Newcastle where sophisticated weapons and military equipment are being manufactured and sent to Israel to be used in the genocide of Palestinian people. Organizations such as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and others have demanded that the Rafael factory be shut down immediately.
During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to carry out the largest deportation drive in US history, promising to deport as many as 10 million people, and in his words “end the invasion of the United States”.
Pablo Alvarado the co-director of @daylaborernetwork spoke to us about what Trump's victory means for immigrant communities across the United States and how communities are organizing to fight back.
🇨🇺 The US blockade on Cuba "is an act of war. It is a part of a hostile and aggressive policy."
Michel Rodriguez, the First Secretary of the Cuban embassy in the UK spoke at the Class and Culture conference, organised by the Communist Party of Britain in Barnsley.
Illegal Israeli settlers launched a massive arson attack against Palestinian people in Al-Bireh city, in the central occupied West Bank. Over a dozen cars were set on fire by settlers who regularly terrorize Palestinians across the West Bank.
🇵🇸Peoples Dispatch was on the ground in Al-Bireh to speak to the victims of this attack who affirmed that no acts of Israeli terror will drive them from their land.
The Democratic and Republican parties have dominated electoral politics in the United States for over a century. Every election cycle, people in the US are forced to choose between whoever is the “lesser of two evils.”
In these elections, as both parties have pledged to continue the steady stream of support to Israel as it commits genocide in Gaza, there have been record high levels of interest in “third parties” which seek to break through the two-party duopoly and establish a new independent political pole.
Listen to activists and political leaders talk about why they have refused to vote for mainstream parties this election cycle.
🇵🇸 "When you engage in genocide, you lose!"
Peoples Dispatch spoke to Dr. Hassan Abdel Salam, director of the Abandon Harris Campaign, which seeks to draw votes away from Kamala Harris in key swing states in response to the US’s unconditional support for Israeli genocide.
🇵🇸 "If genocide is not your red line, then what is your red line?"
Thousands were back on the streets of New York City on the eve of US elections to demand an end to the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Peoples Dispatch spoke to participants in the "No Votes for Genocide" mobilization about the upcoming presidential race and the bipartisan support for Israel's genocide which has made many turn away from the traditional candidates.
🇵🇸Indian historian and activist Vijay Prashad spoke at a rally in New Zealand about the role of Western powers in Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people and the people in the region. Israel is shooting the weapons, but the US, Germany, New Zealand, and other Western powers are providing the weapons, bombs, and ammunition to exterminate the fierce Palestinian people.

The people vs. fascism
Trade unions, progressive organizations, and left political parties took to the streets of London to reject hatred, fascism, islamophobia and anti-semitism and to oppose the march called for by far right groups and the infamous fascist leader Tommy Robinson.
Participants told us that only working class unity and power can defeat fascism.
