We need to raise at least £4,000 in the next few weeks to help bring Leonidas Iza, Ecuador’s main Indigenous leader, to Europe in July. Leonidas and his two co-authors hope to visit Belgium, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland and the Spanish state – to promote and discuss their remarkable book, and to build two-way solidarity between movements in the South and the North. But they need your help to pay for the trip. Whatever you give will be matched by the Indigenous movement’s own efforts to raise funds. We’ve already gathered £1,500. So we only need another £2,500. If you donate £50 or more, you’ll get a free copy of the book.
Book launch with the authors in London on Monday 10 July, 7pm (details tbc).

A Riga-based social-centre project called “Maiznica” is facing repression from state security services and the expulsion of one of their members from the country. In this press release from the Collective they aim to spread the news to a wider audience, to denounce the actions of the Latvian state, and to support the demand of for Vladislav Romanenko to be able to return to the country. They want to expose to the world how Latvia, an EU country and a supposedly “democratic” state, is taking notes from the Russian playbook and using spies against social movements and activists, and they want to bring international pressure on the government to reverse the deportation. - Trump, Netanyahu, and the reordering of the Middle East
