At a small school in the commune of Kloukname, in southwestern Benin, near the border with Togo, the daily routine is marked by a unique celebration: the teaching of the Adja language, of the Aja people.
The school is the Saint Salomon learning center, established in 2014. The school is an exception in a country where French, a colonial legacy, is the official language and a prerequisite for universities and jobs, but is spoken by only 35% of the population.

#PeoplesHistory | Today marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana and devastated the southeastern United States. With tens of thousands left abandoned and without relief, with resources instead diverted into a militarized police crackdown on “looting”, Katrina laid bare existing inequalities in the United States in an event that continues to leave its mark today.

The United Farm Workers labor union has condemned the raid at the farm that the UFW has been actively organizing in since 2022. Of the 14 workers detained at the May 2 raid, ten were ultimately deported.
UFW Secretary Treasurer Armando Elenes labels the raids as "shameful employer complicity in the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate legal protections and lower wages for farm workers."

#PeoplesHistory | Today, as the Trump administration has pledged to deport over 10 million immigrants, and the people of Los Angeles have bravely resisted the attacks on immigrants, we remember the Chicano Moratorium.
The National Chicano Moratorium Committee Against The Vietnam War, was a movement against the inequality against the Latinx community in the US and their disproportionate draft rates during the US war in Vietnam.

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have intensified aerial attacks and expanded land incursions across Syria during the last few days. The attacks come in the wake of the announcement by Syria’s interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Sunday, August 24, that progress had been made on a possible security deal with Israel.
Israel has always employed the “negotiations under fire” tactic to impose its conditions before reaching any agreement with other parties in the region.

This Friday, August 29, the second annual People’s Conference for Palestine began in Detroit, Michigan, bringing together thousands of activists, journalists, labor leaders, and people of conscience.
“This conference is also important because it defies all the forces that conspire to stop and silence our movement, from far right figures, politicians, media outlets and the Zionist lobby,” said Taher Dahleh, an activist with convening organization the Palestinian Youth Movement, in opening the People’s Conference.

🇵🇸 Cultural resistance is at the heart of the Palestinian struggle for liberation.
Art, music, poetry, dance, theater, and storytelling, have always been employed by Palestinians as a tool to entrench their identity, mobilize international solidarity, and challenge the Israeli occupation, hand in hand with other forms of resistance.
A play titled "Kiss the Flag" was performed in Al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank, to shed the light on different aspects of the Palestinian struggle, particularly the struggle of the Palestinian Prisoners' Movement.
The play came at a crucial time for the Palestinian people, as Israel's genocide in the Gaza Strip reaches its 23 month, while the West Bank and Jerusalem also face significant attacks.
