🇨🇴 Thousands took to the streets across Colombia in support of the labor, pension, and healthcare reforms proposed by the Gustavo Petro government.
Juan Carlos Quintero, a member of the Peasant Association of Catatumbo and the National Coordination of Marcha Patriótica, told Peoples Dispatch that, “The demonstrations have been massive, in support of the current government of Gustavo Petro and the reaffirmation of popular support for a government that in its government program proposed change for Colombian society.”

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember the #PeoplesVictory of the London School of Economics’ cleaners. In 2017, after ten months of campaign, they won their battle and forced LSE to end the practice of outsourcing cleaners.
On this day in 2017, LSE’s cleaning workforce, made up entirely of migrants, along with students and staff, and organizers with the union United Voices of the World, succeeded in the first ever outsourced workforce in the UK to be brought in-house by a university.
Their struggle for rights which included strikes and occupations began in 2016 and lasted for ten months. The all-migrant workforce demanded they be made direct employees of the university and for an end to the stark disparities in pay, sick and paid leave, maternity leave and pensions.
