Our comrade and friend Sher Singh died on the 25th of January 2025. We published his notes from conversations with workers from his last travel and a background text about our collaboration. Below you can find a short personal farewell and a tremendous article by our comrade from ‘Friends of Faridabad Majdoor Samachar’ that summarises Sher Singh’s political journey. This article is insightful for all who ask themselves how to remain both joyful and communist. Sher Singh taught us a lot in that regard.

Starting today, November 14, we will add a new initiative to this campaign – “GIVE WARMTH TO GAZA.” The temperatures are dipping, the rainy season has started, the cold winds will move in over the sea, and families are not prepared. We have to protect these families from the elements, not just returning them home but giving them the warmth of care and love and recovery.

November 10th, 2025, marks the fiftieth anniversary of UN Resolution 3379, when the United Nations General Assembly voted to declare Zionism a form of racism and racial discrimination.

In a statement published on Thursday 23 October 2025 – and today endorsed by Trinidad and Tobago’s previous Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley – a distinguished group of former leaders have joined the growing campaign throughout the Caribbean, as well as close neighbours in south America, united in opposition to US military aggression in the Caribbean.

As well as the Assembly of Caribbean Peoples call for collective action to defend the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace marked with a Day of Action on 16 October the past few weeks have seen many forms of opposition in a host of Caribbean countries, with prominent activists and social movements participating. The sentiment is to refute the explanations of the US and its leaders about drug cartels, and to recognise the threat to peace the belligerent neighbour poses in the region, to demand the region be recognised as a Zone of Peace, with anti war governments embodying the aspiration.
