Dockworkers International Day of Action across 5 Continents and 113 Ports In Pireaus, at COSCO’s terminals, dockworkers are holding the picket lines. Their message is clear Dockworkers do not work for war! Ports for the peoples and for peace, not bases for imperialists!

This week's 'Glimpse into the Archive' is a surprise for my old friend, Red Saunders. Red was the photographer for the Bertrand Russell delegation to the Middle East in 1967 and crucial to organising the very successful anti-fascist initiative, Rock Against Racism, in the 1970s. Here's looking at you Red. tariqali1943.substack.com/p/…

Most popular chant in Glasgow tonight: “We are women, we can fight, we don’t need your fascist shite!” Trade unionists, women’s rights and anti-racist activists. This is the real coalition fighting sexism, not the far right exploiting violence against women to spread racism.

Protesters gathering on Buchanan Steps to take a stand against violence against women. A far bigger turnout than any of the pathetic racist marches organised by the far right, who exploit women’s experiences of abuse to whip up hatred against migrants.
