Thousands of anti-fascists mobilised to face down fascist groups threatening immigration lawyers and mosques in cities across Britain on August 7. This followed widespread fascist rioting on August 4, which included attacks on the lodgings of asylum seekers, mosques, and Black people and Asians, who in some cases were pulled from their cars and beaten.

Towering cranes pierce the sky, contrasting with the rural surroundings. It’s an early morning in June, the air already gauzy and thick, and construction is humming at the Toyota Battery mega-site in Liberty, North Carolina.

Trucks and other heavy machines dart in and out of the complex. A line of food trucks is tucked around the corner, alongside a dozen tour buses used to move workers.

The rally took place on August 1, which is Emancipation Day.

Workers marched from the Human Rights monument to the Privy Council Office (PCO) in Ottawa demanding an end to anti-Black racism in the federal public service on Thursday. The demonstration was hosted by the Black Class Action Secretariat and various public sector unions to mark Emancipation Day, which commemorates when enslaved Indigenous and Black Peoples in the British Empire were liberated in 1834.

We will not be silenced

Aug. 3, 2024

Amsterdam, Netherlands — Greenpeace International pushed back today against a meritless, US $300 million lawsuit from US-based fossil fuel company Energy Transfer by sending a Notice of Liability to its headquarters in Dallas, Texas. The Notice of Liability informs Energy Transfer (ET) of Greenpeace International’s intention to bring a lawsuit against the company in a Dutch Court to recover all damage and costs it has suffered as a result of the SLAPP suit, unless ET withdraws its case and accepts responsibility for the harm Greenpeace International has suffered.[1]

Protesters are first to be locked up in any of 10 countries hit by airport disruption campaigns this week

Eight people have been remanded to prison after being arrested at or close to Heathrow airport, making them the first to be locked up in any of the 10 countries where airport protests have taken place so far.

All were charged with conspiracy to interfere with key national infrastructure, an offence introduced last year to tackle disruptive protests by climate activists. Two others were bailed at a court hearing in London on Wednesday.

May 15, 2024

An activist group has pasted its own artworks over billboards and bus-stops promoting oil company Shell's sponsorship of British Cycling.

Brandalism said the campaign was over what it said was Shell's recent decision to "row back" on climate pledges.

Some billboards show a cyclist drinking oil from a Shell-branded bottle.

Shell said the "misleading" adverts "completely mischaracterised" its partnership.
