That's all the events we have for now. Thanks to those that sent us events or tagged us in them!
Few highlights b4 we close.
Earlier this year @breadrosesDSA @tempest_mag held a series of talks on Labor in China, these talks are now published 👇
Then 255 orgs in Myanmar inc @bloodmoney22222 @GscbMyanmar @GSCN_Strike sent a congratulatory letter to the students & people of Bangladesh for their successful revolution, honoured the sacrifice of those that died. Worth a read.
Then this piece by @farooq_ro is an important one:
"A genocide against the Rohingya is continuing to unfold with global inaction" speaks on the recent continued attacks on the Rohingya. Calls on the international community to protect them!
Yesterday @RayhanAsat & Min Kim released a new report w/@Yale Macmillan Center Genocide Studies Program examining the mass imprisonment of #uyghurs under China’s authoritarian regime. An important documentation of what is happening there.
There is a lot going on, lots of injustice to fight but as we've said before there are a lot of people & groups fighting for a better future, u not alone in it all.
We are together, across borders, contexts & struggles.
Take care #milkteaalliance
In Love & solidarity
