Read the original French call to action at Collectif Palestine Vaincra. From June 26 to July 18, the 2021 edition of the Tour de France welcomes an Israeli team called "Israel Start-Up Nation" .

Dégageons Isra…

Indian farmers' protest completes 200 days
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-06-25
It has been a tumultuous ride, says Dharmendra Malik, the media in-charge of Bhartiya Kisan Union. "First, they derided us as the misguided rural folk. Then we were labelled as hooligans and even terrorists! Then came the accusation of some international conspiracy. There was also an attempt to blame the second COVID wave on us. Ironically, trolls on Twitter give lessons on patriotism to farmers. We spend 10 hours on the farm every day, toiling to put food on everyone's plates. Yet for some, we are anything but humans with legitimate demands and a right to protest."
