The time for talk is over.
The time of protest with no results is over.
Call To Action
Our world has been given two choices – to accept this new level of brutality of western imperialism, or to resist it.
Unless the economic systems fuelling the ongoing genocide in Gaza, now spreading regionally, are disrupted, then everyone will be forced to accept it and the violent future that comes with it — a violence with no limits or regard for life.
The forces of global capital and institutions of western power have thrown their entire weight in the service of the Israeli war machine, getting away with levels of brutality that none of us have witnessed before. New precedents of colonial violence are being established, along with new ways of retaliating against anyone fighting the injustices that plague our world.
The few who hold power have done everything they can to destroy the spirit of internationalism and solidarity between all peoples that suffer from the same greedy and violent forces. There has never been a more important time to come together.
Across the world, we are millions of people with the power to halt the economic flow that funds our oppressions. They may threaten and blackmail us with the loss of work and employment, intimidate participants, and harass alleged leaders.
But they need us more than we need them. Once they understand that they cannot have their “business as usual” while supporting war crimes and destroying our world, then they will have to change their ways.
From Wednesday 27th to Friday 29th November, the Global Escalation will bring together people and movements around the world to step up the collective resistance by going on strike, refusing to shop and by taking direct action. It will be the first of a series of blows that will force change.
By halting revenue over one of the most profitable times of the year, the people stand in solidarity with all communities harmed by the same colonial forces worldwide, rejecting the celebration of colonial legacies like “Thanksgiving Day” on the 28th.
The efforts will culminate on the 29th, coinciding with the Friday Day of Rage and the opening of the infamous “Black Friday” season. Most importantly, November 29th marks the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
Gaza cannot afford to wait any longer. The world cannot wait around any longer. We have been given a choice, and we have chosen to escalate.
