Black August is a month to honor the history of struggles for Black liberation, in defiance of racial, colonial, and imperialist oppression, both inside and outside prison walls.
This Black August, we remember the 1971 Attica prison revolt, when 1,281 out of 2,200 inmates seized control of the prison.
Prisoners took control of Attica for four days and officials conceded to 28 of the prisoners' demands. With 43 men dead, the vast majority from the violence of state repression, the Attica prison uprising is still the deadliest in US history, but is remembered by many for its revolutionary significance.

#PeoplesHistory | 🇦🇷Today, we remember the Argentinian writer and poet Julio Cortazar, one of the most iconic figures of the Latin American literary boom of the 1960s-70s.
More than just a literary innovator, Cortazar embodied the role of the internationalist intellectual, consciously siding with the oppressed and tying his work to anti-imperialist struggles across the globe. For him, literature was far from neutral, it was a terrain of struggle — capable of reinforcing domination or challenging it.
Alongside his condemnation of the military dictatorship in Argentina, he was a fervent defender of the Cuban Revolution and other revolutionary processes in Latin America, including Chilean Socialist President Salvador Allende, and the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua.

🇱🇧 "We will never abandon the weapon that protected our dignity ... We will not allow Israel to roam freely through our country."
After the Lebanese government announced that it was caving to US and Israeli calls for disarmament, Naim Qassem, the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, rejected the call for the demilitarization of the group and the ceding to Israel.

#PeoplesHistory | 🇨🇱Today we remember the Chilean "riot dog" who became "patron" of the Chilean student movement, Negro Matapacos (Black Dog Cop Killer).
Matapacos was a stray dog from the streets of Santiago who started joining protests in 2010, and was a prominent figure of one of the largest protest movements since the fall of the dictatorship, the student revolts fighting for free education and against the neoliberal reforms to the education system.
Matapacos was frequently seen defying tear gas, water cannons, and biting police officers. He hung out with students at different campuses and became a symbol of resistance against violent authority.
The stray dog died of old age. Matapacos spent his last days with people who took him in and crowdfunded for his care and that of other dogs. After his death, his image became a widespread symbol of the 2019 social protests, appearing on signs and murals wearing his iconic red bandana.

The bold and historic revolutionary project in the Sahel continues to gain momentum despite external challenges and security needs.
At a recent lecture convened by Pan Africanism Today, The Forge, the International Peoples’ Assembly, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, and the Anti-Fascist International (South Africa Chapter), speakers, including Kwesi Pratt Jnr, General Secretary of the Socialist Movement of Ghana, and Mikaela Erskog of Tricontinental, with facilitation by NUMSA’s head of education Vuyolwethu Toli, examined the roots of this defiance and its implications for Africa and the wider world. The event grappled with crucial questions: Why have the Sahel’s military coups enjoyed mass support? What role have grassroots movements played? And why should Pan-Africanists everywhere see the AES as a beacon of sovereignty?
