Given how colonization has ravaged most of the non-white world, this could be applicable everywhere.

Although we have to confront race more directly in countries like America given the nature of its history, it's also important to keep in mind that through colonization there is an effective removal of transparency in regards to how race interacts with the unjustness and depravity colonized people have to face.

Unfortunately, race is quite literally one of the first weapons capital invented and it has become inextricable from the class struggle. It is not enough to know this without being conscious about how we use our privilege and power to speak on the behalf of or over others. The goal should always be to use our privilege and power to give others the ability and space to speak for themselves

Ban on conversion practices in the European Union

"Objectives :

We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ citizens in the European Union:

Conversion Practices are interventions aimed at changing, repressing or suppressing the sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression of LGBTQ+ persons.

Such practices, due to their discriminatory, degrading, harmful and fraudulent nature have been qualified as torture by the United Nations, and are currently being banned in a growing number of States.

The EU plays a key role in the protection of fundamental rights and should take actions to fight against all inhuman practices. The Commission should propose a directive adding conversion practices to the list of euro-crimes and/or amend the ongoing directive on equality (2008) to include a ban on these practices.

Furthermore, to fight against the legislative moratorium, the Commission should also enforce a non-binding resolution calling for a widespread ban of conversion practices in the EU.

Finally, we call on the Commission to amend the Victims’ Rights Directive to establishes minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of conversion practices.

All member states should introduce a ban on conversion practices or review their current ones."

Die D.R. Kongo beschuldigt Apple und einige weitere Firmen ‚Blutrohstoffe‘ illegal aus der D.R. Kongo zu nutzen und fordert den sofortigen Stopp dieser Menschenrechtsverletzungen.

Im Osten der D.R. Kongo herrscht ein hier kaum beachteter Krieg, der auch durch unseren Rohstoffhunger mitfinanziert wird. Besonders das Nachbarland Ruanda soll diesen gewaltsamen Konflikt nutzen, um illegal wichtige Rohstoffe für die Elektronikbranche von dort zu beziehen. Und diese an die großen Tech-Firmen vor allem im Westen zu verkaufen.

Genauer wird dies, allerdings auf English, in diesem Video erklärt.

Und diesen Freitag macht auch FFF Africa mit dem #FreeCongo Aktionstag auch darauf aufmerksam. Supported ihn gerne.

Deshalb ist es wichtig, dass unsere Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft neben Klimaneutralität auch eine maximal effiziente Rohstoffnutzung z.B. durch Recycling, Sharing, Stopp von Überkonsum, etc. erreicht und diese nicht mehr auf der Ausbeutung des Globalen Südens basieren darf.

On this day, 17 May 1959, Kelso Cochrane was fatally stabbed in a racist attack in West London, UK. His murder would become a catalytic event in race relations at the time which eventually led to the formation of the now world famous Notting Hill Carnival. Cochrane was a recent immigrant from North America, having being born in Antigua. Working as a carpenter he aspired to be a lawyer and settled in the Notting Hill area of West London, with a large Caribbean population. At the time the area was a hotbed of activity for British fascists and there were frequent violent confrontations with groups of Black men. Police investigating the murder were accused of being involved in a cover-up and the murderer has never been identified. A huge funeral procession drew the eyes of the press and the government was eventually pressured into launching an investigation into race relations. Cochrane's murder along with general racial tensions in the area led local community activist Rhaune Laslett to organise a small community street fair to bring recent immigrants together in the area in the mid-1960s. This would eventually become the Notting Hill Carnival, which is attended by over a million people each year.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8916/murder-of-kelso-cochrane To access this hyperlink, click our link in bio then click this photo
