Welcome to Dispatch #33! We’re back from our break and not a moment too soon. The world around us is getting crazier and more unstable with each passing week thanks to the efforts of the rulings classes of the world, but resistance is also growing globally. In this issue we want to recommend a great book that explores lessons from Black resistance to white supremacy, the role of popular media in social change, the CIA trick being used with the Epstein scandal, and more!
We’re excited to be back - let’s get into it!

Why: Israel has finally acknowledged the death toll of the Gaza genocide as 70,000 (though many experts argue it’s potentially much higher), but the BBC has still framed this number as “Hamas” reported by a “Hamas-run health ministry” which casts doubt on the legitimacy of the number despite Israel and the UN acknowledging it as accurate.

⏱~3min | (US Only) Sign the petition to block the sale of EA to Saudi Arabia
Why: EA’s $55 billion private equity buyout will hand over Saudi investors massive control over gaming. By taking on $20 billion in debt, new investor pressure will accelerate the worst anti-consumer practices, intensifying aggressive microtransactions, mass layoffs, and studio closures. But this deal cannot go forward without US government approval and, with enough public scrutiny and pressure, regulators can block it. Organized by Player’s Alliance
Why: Cuba is home to over 11 million people who are facing a growing humanitarian crisis due to a brutal blockade against the island country World Central Kitchen is a nonprofit that has responded to similar humanitarian crises throughout the world, and have assisted Cuba after hurricanes. Sign this petition to demand that they step in once again. Organized by Code Pink
⏱~3min | (UK Only) Email your MP to urge them to allow Gaza students who hold offers from UK universities into the country in 2026
Why: Gaza students hold UK offers but have no way of getting here. The British government facilitated their evacuation from Israel's genocide in 2025 as an exemption from their strict rules, which prevented any visa applications from Gaza from being processed. But this exemption only existed for 2025. We urge them to reopen the borders for the 2026 intake as well. Organized by Newscord
