3/23: Israel Has Formed a Task Force to Carry Out Covert Campaigns at US Universities
A major Israeli news site says Israel’s foreign affairs and diaspora affairs ministries are behind the operation.
William I. Robinson-TRUTHOUT
As worldwide protest escalates over Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, academic freedom and free speech are under all-out attack on university campuses in the United States, not just from university administrations and pro-Israeli groups, but now directly from the highest levels of the Israeli state.

"Vaccine and Sactions" "疫苗与制裁"
A New China-US Joint Production Documentary by Lee Siu Hin
www.VaccineAndSanctions.org
A 61-minute joint China-U.S. production, written and directed by Chinese-American community activist Lee Siu Hin; a new documentary based on our two books “Capitalism on a Ventilator” and “SANCTIONS: A Wrecking ball in a Global Economy”. A production of China-US Solidarity Network, with AiXSiXiang from China and International Action Center from U.S.
The film interviewed Sara Flounders, Margaret Flowers and Lee Siu Hin on U.S. failure to fight against the pandemic, how U.S-led vaccine imperialism and sanctions had blocked the life–saving vaccines to billions of people around the World. When “Capitalism on a Ventilator” was published in September 2020, it was immediately banned by the American online retailer Amazon; it was not until March 2021 that after the Chinese media reported the censorship, Amazon backed-off and put the book back to their site within 24 hours.

Day 2006 - We Have Made History!
Ten Millions Across
the Country Take to the Streets to Demand Immigrant Rights!
http://www.NoHR4437.org http://www.ImmigrantSolidarity.org
Today was one of the
most important days in U.S. history: ten millions of immigrants,
activists and allies in over 200 cities from across the
country chose to skip work, school, and the normal daily
routine to participate in "A Day Without Immigrants."
We held a national boycott, general strikes, rallies and
symbolic actions in order to demand basic rights for all
immigrants, and to build a new multi-ethnic united civil
rights movement for the 21st century!
