From the Geechee Coast to Africville: When Modibo Kadalie met Eddie Carvery By Andrew Zonneveld

β€œEddie Carvery fights for people who lost their homes, but he’ll never be homeless. Just like the people of [Palestine] and the Indigenous peoples of the Northern Hemisphere β€” all of whom have faced home demolitions β€” Eddie’s home is in the struggle against colonial violence and displacement.”

Serbia's striking students set off on 2-day march north as their protest movement widens They packed up food, water and extra clothes and set off. Hundreds of Serbian university students on Thursday started an 80-kilometer, or 50 mile, march toward the northern city of Novi Sad.

In #Serbia, the protests show no sign of slowing down. A group of around 300 students is marching from #Belgrade to #NoviSad, backed by supportive citizens along the way. Their goal: to join the full-scale blockade of the city planned for Saturday.

Serbia: Letter to Students Around the World | anarchistnews.org

"In just three weeks, almost all university buildings in Serbia have become hubs for round-the-clock political self-organization."

"Through plenary sessions, direct democracy is put in practice. Everyone has an equal voice and the right to decide on matters concerning the direction of the protest."

Hey #booksky : there seems to be a need for inspiring stories of resistance right now. I wrote a book about how diverse, multi-racial communities in rural Georgia survived and resisted some of the most brutal regimes imaginable for over 300 years. Sound interesting? Order here: www.oooabooks.org
