Hunger strikes in Zionist prisons, people in Gaza facing massacres. The West demands that people silently accept their own genocide. Western settler colonialism and its racist, inhumane narratives must be exposed. Long live the struggle for freedom, dignity and self-determination in colonized Palestine. Resistance is a duty – our struggles unite!

Hungerstreik in zionistischer Haft, die Menschen in Gaza werden regelrecht massakriert..der Westen verlangt, dass die Menschen ihr eigenes Genozid stillschweigend hinnehmen…westlicher Siedlerkolonialismus und seine rassistische, menschenverachtende Narrative müssen entlarvt werden….
Es lebe der Kampf um Freiheit, Würde und Selbstbestimmung im kolonialisierten Palästina…Resistance is a duty …our struggles unite

11–17 November, Worldwide: Emergency Actions: Defend the Life of Evo Morales! #ElMundoConEvo

Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network endorses this urgent initiative by Struggle – La Lucha newspaper and the Partido por el Socialismo Unido/Socialist Unity Party, and urges the broadest possible support for it and all other efforts to oppose the right-wing, imperialist-backed military coup now unfolding in Venezuela. See the worldwide Facebook event for a growing schedule of local activities.

DEFEND THE LIFE OF EVO MORALES!
STOP THE U.S.-FASCIST COUP IN BOLIVIA
CALL FOR WEEK OF EMERGENCY ACTIONS NOV. 11-17

On Nov. 10 President Evo Morales of Bolivia was forced to resign during a military coup supported by the U.S. government. Fascist terror has swept over the country in recent weeks since President Morales won re-election, including the racist, sexist attack on Mayor Patricia Arce of Vinto, who was terrorized and dragged through the streets.

Struggle-La Lucha newspaper and the Partido por el Socialismo Unido/Socialist Unity Party call on the workers and the progressive movement to take immediate emergency actions to defend the life of Evo Morales, the Indigenous community and the progressive social movements of Bolivia. We hold President Donald Trump and the U.S. Congress responsible for their safety. We join the call of Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez: “We call for a worldwide mobilization for the life and freedom of Evo.”

We remember how the attempted 2002 coup against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was derailed by the intervention of the masses and international solidarity. We must do everything in our power to prevent a repeat of the fascist terror that swept Chile after the Sept. 11, 1973, Pinochet coup organized by Washington.

Evo Morales is the first Indigenous president, representing the Bolivian majority, in the country’s 200-year history. Morales has been a global leader in the struggle to defend the planet from capitalist-driven climate change. The same capitalist interests trying to destroy the Amazon forest are behind the coup in Bolivia.

Since Morales took office representing the Movement Towards Socialism, extreme poverty dropped from 38 percent in 2006 to 17 percent in 2018; the national minimum wage increased by roughly 104 percent; and over $1 billion was allocated for construction of over 5,000 medical clinics, schools and gymnasiums in poor areas.

The struggle in Bolivia is far from over. Today the class struggle is raging across the South American continent between forces representing U.S. imperialism, colonialism, racism and austerity, and the people’s movements that refuse to be ground down under the boot heel of the rich and powerful.

Workers, anti-war and anti-imperialist activists in the U.S. have a special responsibility to show solidarity with the oppressed fighting around the world against the domination of Wall Street and Washington. It is our responsibility to do all we can to push back the U.S. political, economic and military attacks on Bolivia and all of Latin America.

TAKE ACTION:

  • Hold emergency actions in your area during the week of Nov. 11 – 17. Post information on your local action on the Facebook event page. Download protest signs and other material from this page.
  • Post photos holding signs that say Defend Evo Morales, Stop Coup in Bolivia on social media with hashtags #ElMundoConEvo #EvoNoEstasSolo #DefendEvoMorales
  • Inform your co-workers, friends and family members, and help them get involved!

9 November, Berlin: Build Resistance, not walls! #WorldWithoutWalls

Build Resistance not Walls!

November 9 – Global Day of InterAction for a #WorldwithoutWalls
Be part of a World without Walls: Build ties among movements struggling against physical walls – in Palestine and around the globe – or virtual walls of injustice – including racism, xenophobia, islamophobia, hetero-patriarchy, militarization, climate injustice and more – in your area, your country and invite for a moment of reflection or joint struggle.

2 years ago Palestinian and Mexican movements have launched the call for November 9 – Global Day of InterAction for a World without Walls – a call today endorsed by over 400 organizations, networks and movements across the globe.

This year, November 9 marks 30 years from the fall of the Berlin Wall and 3 years since Donald Trump was elected US president following a campaign promise to build a ‘big, beautiful wall’.

It is now 15 years since the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s apartheid wall on Palestinian land and any aid or recognition to it illegal. Yet, the Wall encaging Palestinian communities is growing and globally walls have become the sign of our times.
It is urgent we continue to join, mobilize and stand together for a World without Walls.

The ever increasing number of walls ripping today physically through the landscapes and within cities are the visual expression of the far-right policies and paradigms of segregation, oppression, exclusion and exploitation that are gaining power from India to the US, from Hungary to Brazil. Israeli apartheid is the ideological model for the rising right, which in turn sustains Israeli occupation through growing military and trade ties.

It is time to unite our struggles for a World without Walls and against a world where rights, life and dignity are granted only to a few, where people and the planet are mere objects of power and domination.

Let’s build November 9 as a space for joint struggle, a moment of reflection on the interconnections between our struggles and the patterns of injustice.

Let’s show that Palestine is not alone in its struggle. Palestine is an integral part of our common struggle for humanity.

9. November – Weltweiter InterAction-Tag für eine #WeltohneMauern

Protestaktion am Samstag, den 9. November 2019 von 13.00 – 15:00 Uhr an den Überresten der Berliner Mauer auf dem Potsdamer Platz.

(English follows German)

Seid Teil einer Welt ohne Mauern: Baut bei Euch Verbindungen zwischen Bewegungen auf, die gegen physische Mauern kämpfen – in Palästina und rund um den Globus – oder zwischen virtuellen Mauern der Ungerechtigkeit – einschließlich Rassismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Islamfeindlichkeit, Heteropatriarchat, Militarisierung, Klimaungerechtigkeit und vielem mehr – und ladet ein zu einer Bewegung der Reflexion oder des gemeinsamen Kampfes

Vor zwei Jahren haben palästinensische und mexikanische Bewegungen den Aufruf zum 9. November – dem globalen Tag der InterAktion für eine Welt ohne Mauern – veröffentlicht. Dieser Aufruf wird heute von über 400 Organisationen, Netzwerken und Bewegungen auf der ganzen Welt unterstützt.

In diesem Jahr begehen wir am 9. November den 30. Jahrestag des Falls der Berliner Mauer. Donald Trump wurde vor drei Jahren nach einem Wahlversprechen, eine „große, schöne Mauer“ zu bauen, zum US-Präsidenten gewählt.

Es ist nun 15 Jahre her, dass der Internationale Gerichtshof die israelische Apartheidmauer auf palästinensischem Gebiet und jede Unterstützung in diesem Zusammenhang oder Anerkennung für illegal erklärt hat. Doch die Mauer, die palästinensische Gemeinden umschließt, wächst und die weltweiten Mauern sind zu einem Zeichen unserer Zeit geworden.

Es ist dringend notwendig, dass wir uns weiterhin zusammenschließen, mobilisieren und gemeinsam für eine Welt ohne Mauern eintreten.

Die ständig wachsende Anzahl von Mauern, die heute physisch Landschaften und Städte zerreißen sind der wahrnehmbare Ausdruck der rechtsextremen Politik und der Paradigmen der Segregation, Unterdrückung, Ausgrenzung und Ausbeutung, die von Indien bis zu den USA, von Ungarn bis Brasilien an Macht gewinnen. Die israelische Apartheid ist das ideologische Modell für die aufstrebende Rechte, die wiederum die israelische Besatzung durch wachsende Militär- und Handelsbeziehungen aufrechterhält.

Es ist höchste Zeit, dass wir uns zusammentun und unsere Kämpfe gemeinsam führen für eine Welt ohne Mauern und gegen eine Welt, in der Rechte, Leben und Würde nur wenigen gewährt werden, in der Menschen und der Planet bloße Objekte der Macht und Herrschaft sind.

Lasst uns den 9. November zu einem Tag für gemeinsame Kämpfe erklären, einen Moment der Reflexion über die Zusammenhänge zwischen unseren Kämpfen und den Strukturen der Ungerechtigkeit.

Lasst uns zeigen, dass Palästina in seinem Kampf nicht allein ist. Palästina ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil unseres gemeinsamen Kampfes für Menschlichkeit.

9 November, NYC: Protest to free Palestinian prisoners and #BoycottPuma

Saturday, 9 November
4:00 pm
PUMA
609 Fifth Avenue
NYC
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/950181828682630/

Bring signs, flags, and banners demanding freedom for Khalida Jarrar, Samer Arbeed, and all Palestinian political prisoners, and an end to PUMA’s support for Israeli settler-colonialism in occupied Palestine!

Khalida Jarrar, leading Palestinian feminist, leftist and parliamentarian, was seized in the pre-Newdawn hours of October 31, 2019 by Israeli occupation forces. The heavily armed force invaded her home with over a dozen military vehicles and 80 soldiers only eight months after she was last released from Israeli prison. She had been jailed there for 20 months with no charge and no trial under administrative detention. During Khalida’s imprisonment, over 275 organizations around the world joined the call for her freedom, and protests and mobilizations around the world highlighted her case. It is time to act again and demand Khalida’s immediate release!

Samer Arbeed is being held in Hadassah hospital after severe Israeli torture under interrogation and brutal beatings that caused him to lose consciousness for weeks. He has been shackled to his bed and even tear-gassed in his hospital room by Israeli forces despite the fact that he has 11 broken ribs and pneumonia as well as kidney dysfunction so severe he now requires dialysis. He suffered from none of these medical conditions prior to being seized by Israeli occupation forces on September 25, although his wife witnessed occupation soldiers begin to beat him immediately upon arresting him. He has been banned from lawyers’ visits and his lawyers were not informed that he was tear-gassed; in a medical report delivered by the intensive care unit at the hospital, it was noted that Samer’s lung health has further deteriorated due to contamination in his ventilation apparatus. He is being subjected to continuous interrogation even as he remains in his hospital room due to Israeli torture.

Khalida and Sameer have both organized and spoken out for Palestinian prisoners. Khalida is one of the most prominent international advocates for Palestinian prisoners and their rights and the former vice-chair of the board of directors of Addameer Prisoner Support & Human Rights Association. Samer Arbeed volunteered and worked for organizations demanding freedom for prisoners – and has been previously targeted for his work.

Join the international days of action to speak out for Khalida, Samer, and all of the thousands of Palestinians held behind bars. Torture, arbitrary detention and abuse are taking place in full view of the world and we must speak out to stand with these Palestinians demanding their most fundamental rights. Free all Palestinian prisoners! Freedom for Palestine!
