April-May struggles with students across Italy, for Palestine, against the Military

Since I arrived in Italy in spring 2021, I have been participating in, co-organising and supporting student—and comrade-led struggles against the military and for Palestine. From Frontex to the fight against Leonardo and the vast mobilisation in support of our Palestinian brothers and sisters, no month has gone by without a rally, a public speech, an interview or a dozen assemblies.

In the last month only, I had the pleasure of thinking with organised groups such as the Collettivo Autorganizzato Universario in Naples, Cambiare Rotta in Bologna and Turin, Potere al Popolo in Turin, the dock workers of Genoa, the comrades of Radio Onda Rossa in Rome and Radio Blackout, students in various other cities including an event today in Parma, as well as the students of the Intifada in Turin.

I want to thank all these students and comrades. This is the university we fight for and re-construct everyday. A space to occupy with the joy of discovery and the generative anger of political struggle. Avanti!

PS: if interested, the short interview I gave to Radio Onda Rossa for the 25th of April is available online, here.
