NEW: Over 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth org of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Gießen, Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police violently beat blockaders.

What should trade unions do for Ukraine? International public meeting, 26 November
Organised by the European Network in Solidarity with Ukraine. Register here Join us on 26 November for a discussion on how trade unions and trade unionists in many countries are supporting Ukraine and its workers' movement; and how we can do more. Speakers from Norway, the UK, France and Catalonia will present the actions taken by and debates conducted in the trade union movement in their countries – by federations, individual trade unions, local organisations and rank-and-file trade union activists – since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
