How the battle of Claremont Road changed the world: ‘The whole of alternative London turned up’ Thirty years ago, more than 500 activists united to save a street – and their actions marked a major turning-point in the environmental movement

We lived at number 4 Claremont Road from 1984 until our eventual eviction in 1991. Loved the street, sense of community, and even made friends with the eco warriors (although we were from very different backgrounds). Respect to their bravery and dedication.

Palestine against an eco-apartheid world In coming years, eco-apartheid will become more prominent worldwide as colonial violence is used to maintain and safeguard Western interests and profits. We are seeing this future in Gaza today.

The Palestinian resistance is currently articulating the clearest expression of anti-colonial dissent, of a national liberation movement that refuses to have its humanity cancelled, and its populations erased and sacrificed for the imperial core. mondoweiss.net/2024/11/pale...
