TODAY, WE REMEMBER MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed while standing on a hotel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. The assassination of the 39-year-old preacher shocked the country, sparking social upheaval from coast to coast in an already turbulent time. “At least a hundred cities erupted in the days and weeks after,” Historian Elizabeth Hinton told American Experience. “Martin Luther King, the king of love, the king of nonviolence and peace, for him to get assassinated really made the entire future of Black Americans seem as uncertain as ever.” “How long? Not long!” 60 years ago today, at the culmination of the #Selma to #Montgomery marches to protest for the removal of the discriminatory, racially motivated barriers to Black people exercising the right to vote, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr gave this speech on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery. “We are not…
FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL💪
Academic freedom is under attack — from the U.S. to the EU.Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian scholar and activist, has been unjustly detained by ICE after years of advocating for Palestinian rights. A former graduate student at Columbia University, Khalil was at the forefront of pro-Palestinian activism, including the 2024 protests calling for justice for Gaza. Instead of being recognised for his activism and scholarly work, he now faces detention and the looming threat of deportation.This is not an isolated incident. Across the U.S. and the EU, the right to stand for the Palestinian cause is witnessing a crack down. Student activists who dare to challenge the status quo are being silenced, surveilled, and even arrested. In many EU countries, the right to express solidarity with Palestine is under increasing scrutiny, with scholars and students facing repression for their political beliefs. Universities should be bastions of free thought and critical discussion,…
STATEMENT IN DEFENSE OF PALESTINE’S RIGHT TO LIBERATION
Comrades in struggle, As the people of Palestine mark Al Quds Day—a global call to defend Jerusalemand resist Zionist apartheid—the Anti-Fascist International Kenya Chapter stands in unwavering solidarity with their unrelenting struggle for liberation. This day, born from the courage of Imam Khomeini’s vision, is a beacon of defiance against imperialism, settler-colonialism, and the fascist forces that seek to erase Palestine’s existence. We salute the Palestinian people, who endure daily violence, displacement, and occupation yet remain steadfast in their resistance. The Israeli regime’s relent-less aggression—its apartheid walls, illegal settlements, and genocidal attacks—is a stark reminder of the imperialist machinery that sustains oppression worldwide. From the streets of Gaza to the villages of the West Bank, Palestine’s fight is not just a national struggle but a global revolutionary imperative against systems that profit from bloodshed and dispossession. We condemn:1. Zionist apartheid and its U.S.-backed militarization, which weaponizes terror to maintain dominance.2.…
CHINA REJECTS US “TARIFF WAR” ON VENEZUELA.
VenezuelanalysisDonate“We urge the United States to cease its interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs and to abolish the unlawful unilateral sanctions imposed on the country. […] There are no winners in a trade or tariff war,” stated Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry, during a regular news conference on Tuesday. Jiakun emphasized that Washington has “long exploited” unilateral sanctions and what he termed “long-arm jurisdiction” to target other nations, calling on the US to lift its coercive measures on Venezuela. He added that the tariffs would have detrimental effects on US businesses and consumers. Recently, China, México and Canada were likewise targets of US import tariffs. Similarly, México’s Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the tariff measure, noting that economic sanctions and blockades primarily harm citizens rather than governments. In a social media post, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel criticized Washington for its ongoing efforts to “economically asphyxiate” the Venezuelan people.…
FOOD JUSTICE IN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Access to safe, nutritious food is a human right, yet many public and private hospitals continue to serve substandard meals that compromise patients’ recovery. This is not just a health issue,it is a matter of food justice. The crisis in hospital nutrition reflects a broader injustice where corruption, privatization, and cost-cutting take precedence over human well-being. Undernourished patients remain vulnerable, while powerful players in food supply chains profit from cheap, processed meals. HOSPITALS SHOULD NOURISH, NOT HARM. • Conventional hospital meals fail patients because they are nutritionally poor, highly processed and mass-produced, prioritizing profit over public health.• Real food should be part of treatment. Hospitals must serve locally sourced, organic, and healing diets that support recovery.• Corruption in food procurement must be exposed. Hospitals must be held accountable for ensuring high-quality meals for patients. FOOD JUSTICE IS CLIMATE JUSTICE. The fight for nutritious hospital meals is also a fight for…
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela firmly and categorically rejects the new aggression announced by United States President Donald Trump, who aims to impose a 25% secondary tariff on any country that trades oil and gas with Venezuela.
US President Donald Trump has once again targeted Venezuela, announcing this Monday, March 24, that his administration will impose secondary tariffs on countries purchasing Venezuelan oil or gas. “Any Country [sic] that purchases oil and/or gas from Venezuela will be forced to pay a Tariff [sic] of 25% to the United States on any Trade [sic] they do with our Country [sic]. All documentation will be signed and registered, and the Tariff [sic] will take place on April 2nd, 2025, LIBERATION DAY IN AMERICA [sic],” wrote Trump in a social media post. The US ruler justified the new economic sanction by using the hard-to-believe narrative of the Aragua Train invasion. According to Trump, the illegal economic coercive measures (euphemistically referred to as “sanctions”) were imposed “for numerous reasons, including the fact that Venezuela has purposefully and deceitfully sent to the United States, undercover, tens of thousands of high level [sic],…

Food, Power, and Justice: Why Our Diets Must Be Anti-Racist
The food system is deeply political. From who owns the land to who grows, harvests, and profits from our food;systemic racism has shaped every aspect of what we eat. Confronting this reality means challenging the structures that exploit marginalized communities while promoting sustainable, just alternatives. An anti-racist diet is more than just what’s on our plate; it’s about dismantling unjust food policies, recognizing the historical and ongoing exploitation of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in agriculture, and creating food systems that empower rather than oppress. So, what can we do?✔ Learn the history of the land and who works it✔ Educate ourselves on privilege and power in the food system✔ Support and uplift the voices and businesses of BIPOC food producers Food sovereignty is a key pillar in the fight against fascism. If we want a future of justice and sustainability, we must start with what’s on our…
TRUMP DECLARES ALIEN ENEMIES ACT AND NEXT WOULD BE THE MARTIAL LAW!
The Trump administration is deporting immigrants with ZERO CRIMINAL RECORD or proof of gang ties to hard-labor prisons in El Salvador. Relatives of recently deported Venezuelan immigrants said they were anguished and shocked to discover their loved ones were sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador after they recognized them in a social media video. The families strongly deny that their relatives are connected to the Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua, a claim the Trump administration has used to justify their quick deportations under a rarely used law from 1798, the Alien Enemies Act. They say their family members have been falsely accused and targeted because of their tattoos. The families also said they never expected their loved ones to be sent to a massive prison in El Salvador instead of their home country, Venezuela. The White House said in a statement Tuesday that it was “confident…
