Hey Paov,
We are so close to our first Global Citizen concert in Canada — and to ending three major world diseases for good.
Canada has led the way in making financial commitments to the Global Fund by pledging $785 million (CAD). Now we need bold new commitments from other world leaders to end AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria for good. We need to use our collective voices to show...

Canadian Mining and Popular Resistance
Canada is one of the world's centres of the mining and extractive sector. Toronto is the centre of the trade in mining stocks and in financing mining operations. Canadian mining capital operates in more than 100 countries and is among the top five world producers of potash, uranium, nickel, gold, platinum, aluminum, diamonds and steel-making coal. The Canadian state supports the accumulation of the mining industry at home and abroad. Indeed, it is impossible to separate out the history of Canadian colonialism and the building capitalism in Canada from the mining sector, from the original mining of fish and furs by Europeans to the modern mining of the tar sands, forests, precious metals, and many other sectors. The extractive sector remains at the centre of the Canadian...

Razem: New Left in Poland
Marcelina Zawisza and Maciej Konieczny interviewed by Lorenzo Marsili
"We are not the old Left. It is more than clear if you look at our faces, our age, the way we speak and our new way of making politics." In ultra-conservative Poland, something is moving. We meet some of the founders of Razem ("Together") a new political party emerging from social movements and strongly inspired by the experience of Podemos in Spain. We discuss their project and the Polish scenario: from the surprising social policies of the current authoritarian government to the liberal opposition defending freedom of information but forgetting about inequalities. And the meaning of launching a new party from the bottom-up today.

What Happened to the Pink Tide?
Kyla Sankey
When the ‘pink tide’ of left-leaning governments first rose to power on the back of anti-neoliberal protests across Latin America in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the initial reaction from the Left was euphoric. Striving to move beyond the "there is no alternative" mantra, many pinned their hopes on what seemed to be a new wave of actually existing alternatives to neoliberalism. Amidst the revolutionary fervor of social forums, solidarity alliances, and peoples’ councils, it appeared an epochal shift was underway, which Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa optimistically dubbed "a genuine change in the times."
But in retrospect, the 2005 political mobilizations that led to the defeat of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA)...

One in nine people will go to bed hungry tonight. Sixty percent of people living in hunger are girls and women; the majority of people suffering from food insecurity are unable to provide for themselves.
