Occupations in protest against corporate greed are spreading across the US. The first protest—Occupy Wall Street—began in New York’s financial district.

Now there are similar occupations in dozens of other US cities, including in Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle, Denver, Olympia and Boston. And activists in other countries, including Britain are planning their own occupations.

Laura Paskell-Brown, a lecturer and graduate student based in New York, spoke to Socialist Worker about the Wall Street occupation. CONTINUE LEYENDO (Continue reading) Occupy Wall Street: ‘A new generation is fighting back’

Well, we’re not too surprised if you aren’t out eating barbecue and celebrating the supposed independence of the country we’re living in. It shouldn’t be long before there’s a holiday a month that can be reduced down to waving the flag and shedding a single tear for the sentimental myth of how great this nation is. The state and capital still keep the yoke tightly around our necks, making sure we nurse from the teat of misinformation that is corporate media.

El 28 de julio de 2010 en frente de la administración municipal de Khimki, una ciudad en las afueras de Moscú, más de 200 jóvenes antifascistas y anarquistas mantuvieron una manifestación espontánea en apoyo del bosque de Khimki que en aquel momento estaba siendo talado para las necesidades de grandes empresas. La acción, durante la cual varias ventanas fueron dañadas, recibió una amplia publicidad. Por su parte, las autoridades respondieron con represalias. El día después de la manifestación dos prominentes activistas de un movimiento social – Alexei Gaskárov y Maxim Sólopov – fueron detenidos. Los dos jóvenes podrían ser sentenciados a siete años de prisión por vandalismo mientras que no existen pruebas de su implicación en las actividades ilegales. Otros activistas, en particular los que están involucrados en el movimiento antifascista, siguen siendo objetos de una cacería policial.

Manifestantes exigen a Trader Joe’s que adopte condiciones de trabajo humanas para recolectores de tomates

En Nueva York, docenas de personas se congregaron el jueves frente a la nueva ubicación de la cadena de tiendas de comestibles Trader Joe’s en Manhattan para exigir condiciones de trabajo humanas para los trabajadores agrícolas que recolectan tomates comercializados en las tiendas Trader Joe’s. La Coalición de Trabajadores de Immokalee dice que los salarios de los obreros agrícolas no han aumentado desde 1978 y los recolectores de tomates deben trabajar diez horas al día para llegar al salario mínimo. Luis Gómez, de la Alianza Comunitaria de Trabajadores Agrícolas, dijo que Trader Joe’s compra tomates directamente de campos que usan esclavos de la era moderna.
