Putin’s regime, now with the de facto backing of the Trump administration, has escalated its missile and drone attacks on civilian targets and infrastructure in the hopes of bludgeoning Ukraine into submission. Ukraine’s people, however, continue to resist and fight for their right to self-determination. Heeding their call for solidarity, trade unions from around the world are sending an international convoy bringing material aid and political support to their siblings in Ukraine. Join this panel to hear from activists and unionists about the convoy and working class internationalism against imperialism.
