"Taiwan’s vibrant and competitive democratic system has allowed for regular peaceful transfers of power since 2000, and protections for civil liberties are generally robust. Ongoing concerns include inadequate safeguards against the exploitation of migrant workers and the Chinese government’s efforts to influence policymaking, media, and the democratic infrastructure."

Taiwan's support for Israeli settlements in the West Bank is at odds with its own struggle for recognition, writes Kerim Friedman
"Taiwan needs to stop acting as willing participants in Israel’s policide of Palestine. Silencing Palestinian voices will only hurt its own battle to be heard over Beijing."
NEW: A new congressional investigation prompted by ProPublica reporting has found that, contrary to the Trump administration’s claims, immigration agents have frequently detained and mistreated U.S. citizens.

20 minute documentary “How to erase a people“
on why settler-colonialism is an aboslute evil, how a people and their culture co-exist and evolve with nature, how their language is specific to their way of life, and how their way of life is shaped by the land on which they live. Ultimately, uprooting a people, forcing them to move to another land, necessarily destroys their way of life and erases their culture.

80 minute documentary film “Israelism“ (by Vice, on YouTube)This film makes very clear what motivates Jewish pro-Palestinian people in the US to protest, and how their Jewish faith makes their conviction in peace and humanitarianism so powerful.

🇨🇦 👋 40 Ways to Fight the Far-Right: In Canada
This guide offers ideas for people of all backgrounds, identities, and skill levels. While we encourage people to show up in person, there are also many options for people who aren’t able to do that.
Together, these actions present a variety of tactics which raise the cost of participation in far-right movements and, we believe, will keep communities safer.

In 1992, Cicih Sukaesih led fellow Indonesian factory workers in a strike, part of a movement that led Nike to create its first code of conduct.
She's proud of the example she set. But she described her work as incomplete, as problems remain, including chronically low wages.
