Good idea: fight for less working hours/days


https://www.4dayweek.com/sa-2023-pilot-results

The South African four-day workweek pilot program has returned positive results while proving that many employees don’t opt to call off on Fridays as many predicted, Bloomberg reports. Less than 1 in 4 workers opted for a week ending on Thursday.


More than 28 companies participated in the experiment, with many offering flexibility on what days employees could choose not to work. The six-month study allowed workers to experience a four-day workweek without any loss of pay for unworked days. Before the trial, participants underwent a planning and work practice conducted by 4 Day Week Global, including two months of workshops, coaching, mentoring, and peer support. Some 71% of the employees who participated in the trial were women. Most participants worked in professional services, IT, marketing, and financial service industries.

We are protesting against the immigration authorities because they are an instrument for institutionalising racism and harassment against refugees and migrants in Germany.

The nationwide alliance #FightRacism - Abolish Ausländerbehörde is calling for protests throughout Germany to take action against the racist and inhumane institution of the Ausländerbehörde. We are various anti-racist groups and initiatives and individuals showing solidarity. Some people in the alliance are themselves affected by the discriminatory practices of the immigration authorities. In principle, the action alliance stands for a right to stay for all, against racist discrimination, against deportation and in favour of freedom of movement and open borders.

Doubling down on his public support for fascism, Elon Musk has announced that he will make an appearance at the festival of the fascist youth organization that serves Italy's ruling Brothers of Italy party, which traces its political lineage directly to Benito Mussolini.

The "Atreju" festival is named for a character in The Neverending Story, a book by German anti-fascist Michael Ende. Ende joined an underground resistance group to fight the Nazis when he was a teenager in 1940s Germany. Not being known for their own creativity, fascists shamelessly steal imagery and ideas from those who rightly oppose them.

The fights against billionaire control of social media, against fascist street violence and state power, and against fascist appropriation of fiction and fantasy are all one and the same fight.
