🚨 Israeli naval forces have illegally intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Communications have been cut. The status of participants and crew remains unconfirmed.

This is an attack on unarmed humanitarians. We call on governments and int'l institutions to demand their immediate safety and release

All eyes on the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social which is faced by a potential naval blockade of 20 unidentified vessels just 3 nautical miles ahead of their fleet.

They write: "we will not be intimidated by threats, harassment, or efforts to protect Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza."

Thousands seen sitting with placards that all read “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine action.” Big Ben is seen in the background

NEW: Parliament Square, London right now.

Thousands in a silent, peaceful protest against both the genocide in Gaza and the UK Government prescribing protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Police now making arrests.

Thousands turn out to protest ridiculous designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Cannot recommend this enough based on my experience of attending last year's gathering in Tuscany

Common Ecologies Autumn Gathering:
THE POLITICS OF AFFECTEDNESS

24-26 October, Barcelona

Please share widely! 🔥

Here's some info about themes and formats:

Can a politics of affectedness be the starting point of collective care, social struggles, and international solidarity? How do we build a collective capacity to act and the power to transform the world? What alliances, articulations, translations, and forms of attention do we need to seek?

After the Great Financial crisis we learned to ask: how do we built power in a crisis of social reproduction? Now we are in a planetary crisis of socio-ecological reproduction (planetary boundaries, spectres of fascism, technopetropatriarchal extractivist overdrive, genocide, and war).

We have seen the limitations of organizing merely from shared knowledge or opinion. Common struggle is rooted in collective care and interest. To notice these, we must see shared needs, not as some natural facts, but ways we are affected by social and ecological harm and injustice.

The compounded climate and ecological crisis is becoming more concrete every day.

Autumn Gathering '25: The Politics of Affectedness How to organize in a time of polycrisis? At this year’s Autumn Gathering, we’ll explore how strategies shaped around a "politics of affectedness" can guide us.

Pakistan’s rush for rooftop solar brings dreams and nightmares Download this, and a linked article, as a PDF here By Simon Pirani Households and businesses across Pakistan are covering their roofs with cheap Chinese solar panels. Generating their own electrici…

"The rapid expansion of decentralised solar hints at a utopian dream, very low-carbon electricity controlled by people, not corporations. But implemented this way, by the market & excluding households that need it most, it appears like a nightmare."

Q&A: how do we strategize in relation to emergent needs. If elites know turmoil is coming, we do to, and can also prepare to organize radical needs - which was always a very important powerbase of the left; labour, housing, and peasant movements, cooperativism...

4. the repression is preparatory, because they know turmoil and discontent will only increase in the deepening climate crisis.
5. finally, part of the movement is itself _seeking arrest_, to produce sensation and controversy - maybe it's time to rethink this strategy
