We must be ready to face violence

Let me be very very clear, THIS IS NOT ME INCITING VIOLENCE! We should absolutely not be starting or kicking off violence at any scale.

However, violence is coming.

I am, sorry to say, British, so I speak mostly from a British perspective about the British political context, but I see similar trends worldwide whenever I read the news.

The fascists are winning, their movement is growing at an alarming rate both in terms of numbers but also activity and boldness and militancy. The recent "raise the colours" movement is being grossly underestimated by the left, it is absolutely one of the most successful far right campaigns in our countries history.

It has normalised nationalist graffiti and stigmatised its removal. We've seen immigrant owned businesses and homes abd places of worship marked in ways that are frightfully similar to 1930s Germany. Its galvanised and mobilised far right street movements in a way I have never seen before and it's given them the confidence to openly shout slurs and abuse at both immigrants and simply anyone who dare dissent against them.
Already I've heard stories of people being followed home from counter protests and assaulted or harassed.

Things will not stop escalating and we are already only a few steps away from the violence we saw last year after Southport being repeated on a much larger scale.

We need to begin preparing NOW!

What does that mean?
It means organising. It means reaching out to immigrant families and groups in your community and offering your support and aid in these incredibly frightening times.
It means stockpiling food, water and medical supplies so that you can assist your community if it is suddenly impossible or dangerous for people to access shops.
It means learning first aid and basic trauma care.
It means learning how to defend yourself and others, and if you're physically able, taking care of your body and mind so you're strong enough to care for those who cant.

We are about to face incredibly dark and ugly times and you as an antifascist have a responsibility to be prepared.

ISO IWW Discord or Secure forum/discussion platform?

Heyo, looking for a more generalized chat than my specific local branch's would like to speak with fws in different areas of NARA and specifically the US about current events.

Inb4 InterWob: yeah but I want to discuss non-union issues with my fellow workers, does interwob allow external/political discourse?

Recruiting/Organising in Palestine

I recently made a move to Jerusalem from London. I’m getting connected to the Cypress branch as it’s an hour’s flight away. I’ve already submitted some Hebrew and Arabic translations of Union lot. Does anyone know what the turn-around on approval for that is? Because I’m going to need to translate also to Chinese, Thai, Hindi and Somali because of the migrant working community. I’m directing people to sign up via the Cypruss website.

Considering joining IWW in November - Online TEFL teacher

Hi everyone. I currently work as an online English teacher and I'm thinking of joining the IWW later this year. The company I work for designates us all at independent contractors and hasn't increased their base pay since 2013 (among other issues). I was wondering if there are any other online TEFL teachers here? I think the IWW is the best place for me, but I'm not sure.
