Murderous wars of aggression, corporate plunder of natural resources and national industries, rising fascism, and state-driven ethnic, religious and racial violence are destroying the lives of the people—and yet, the people continue to resist.
Watch this educational discussion by the International Peoples’ Front where speakers analyzed the volatile imperialist-driven economic and political crises facing the people of West Asia and beyond, and how we can forge solidarity across all continents to fight for liberation.
🎤 Featured speakers:
- Victor Garces, International League of Peoples’ Struggle
- “For us now, the question of the emergence of arenas of conflict have become on one hand the locus of attacks by imperialism, but on the other hand, it becomes the focus for people to mobilize to create resistance and points of unity among governments, parties, social movements, peoples’ organizations, and the people in general need to support each other to achieve their demands for peace, justice, democracy, and freedom.”
- Mohammad Marandi, Political Analyst
