“It is through all these events that the alliances necessary to counter fascism and imperialism are being forged. It is up to us to involve the trade unions, human rights organizations, feminist and LGBTQI+ movements, anti-racist organizations, those campaigning for Palestine, and those standing in solidarity with the Ukrainian and the Iranian people. It is in this way – and by defending our eco-socialist revolutionary perspectives – that we will build the movement needed to change the world.”

In defence of Cuba against the neocolonial blockade and starvation imposed by Trump

Ana C. Carvalhaes, Israel Dutra, João Machado, Manuel Rodríguez Banchs — 2026-02-13T18:09:32Z
