Today marks ten years since the murder of Mike Brown, the police killing that ignited a mass movement that shaped US history.
On August 9, 2014, 18-year-old Mike Brown was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown’s killing ignited one of the first waves of the larger movement against police brutality in the United States, which has at many points coincided with larger anti-racist, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist social movements.

#PeoplesHistory | Today we remember Heather Heyer, an anti-fascist activist killed in Charlottesville, VA, by a right-wing white supremacist.
James Alex Fields Jr. deliberately drove his car into a crowd of peaceful demonstrators in a counter-protest against white supremacists and neo-nazis who were protesting the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He killed 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injured 35 others.
Today, the fight against neo-nazis and fascists is more critical than ever.
Rest in power, Heather Heyer!

#PeoplesHistory | Today on his birthday, we remember the Cuban revolutionary leader and head of state, Fidel Castro Ruz.
Here is Fidel's speech about Palestine at the UN General Assembly in 1979. His words are still very relevant to the matter of Palestine. If he were alive today, Fidel would be standing in total solidarity with the Palestinian people and vehemently condemning the Israeli genocide.
