This month we’re talking about Black cooperative land ownership through the legacy of Alabama’s Freedom Quilting Bee, rising union and worker co-op organizing in response to layoffs and workplace instability, and artist-led campaigns divesting from war industries, alongside urgent calls from Congo and Bolivia, and more.

This month, communities are taking action everywhere, from May Day mobilizations and housing wins to water protectors fighting pipelines and AI extractivism. Together, these stories point to a shared fight to defend land, housing, and life over profit, and a reminder that what communities face at home is deeply connected to struggles everywhere else in the world. As wars intensify and ecological crises deepen globally, internationalism has never been more necessary.

This month, we’re talking about the brewing nationwide general strike, AI provocations, collective responsibility to land and water, community ownership models, “water bankruptcy,” and Emergency Response Rooms in Sudan.
