Thank you, Belgium 🇧🇪 Belgium deeply regrets the expulsion of UNRWA from East Jerusalem and the ban on its operations. We call on Israel to revert the implementation of the Knesset Laws. UNRWA’s humanitarian assistance is indispensable and irreplaceable.

Our friends at Notes from Below have just launched 'Workers' Inquiry', a new podcast series about work, struggle and revolution. Each episode, contributors to NfB share their experience of work, their analysis of their workplace, and how they think we can build our collective power as a class.

Je pleure le décès de Stephen Bouquin, une très belle personne, un camarade, un sociologue engagé. Très créatif, toujours en train de monter de nouveaux projets, de mobiliser et de créer des collaborations et alliances. Il me manquera, il nous manquera 😢
