What is it used for? Why is it needed?
But most of all
How is it mined?

As Israel wages genocide in Gaza, fossil fuel flows continue to power its settler-colonial regime.

Join us to discuss how energy justice and Palestinian liberation are inseparable — and why a energy embargo is urgent.

We've come together to stand up to racism before and we will do so again. The violence and the hatred must stop.

While immigration has gradually increased in NI over the last decade, crime rates have been falling, except for racially motivated hate crime, now higher than sectarian hate crime.

The racist violence in Northern Ireland is outrageous.

Families and communities are in the midst of a racist pogrom led by a hateful few.

This violence is fuelled by racist hatred. It is stoked by social media algorithms profiting from hate, and amplified by reckless politicians.

The communities of Cañaverales, in San Juan del Cesar, La Guajira, reject the proposals to impose an open-pit coal mine on their territory. On the 14th of June, they will be raising their voices at the Environmental Public Hearing and - once again - saying NO to the mine.

"Gaza is in front of me. I am a Jew, an American, a human being who was once a child."

Our Advisory Board member, Linda Hess, pens a powerful piece for Lion's Roar about how her identity as a Buddhist and a Jew compels her to stand up for Gaza:

Manusmriti no longer in (new) curriculum. wonder why!
Too many were getting to know the true retrograde face of Hindutva? Profs were doing critical reading and students realised how sexist and casteist it really is? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Revolutions happen when the army refuses to obey orders. From the French revolution to the Indian naval mutiny.
Will American soldiers realise who they actually are?
Will 2nd class Sephardim recognise their true allies?
Will poor & non-brahmin Hindus see who the true enemy is?
