A call to action! Protest French state repression, with Comrade Kat

from SpartTalk

Mansa is joined by Comrade Kat of the Partisan Defence Committee (PDC), a non-sectarian social and legal defence organisation that is part of building international solidarity to defend pro-Palestine and trade union activists in France. She motivates why the left must unite in common action to build these protests because an injury to one is an injury to all, and explains other ways you can help if you are not able to attend a protest.**CORRECTION: I stupidly spoke about Rodrigue Petitot thinking this his case was related to the uprising in Kanaki - another French colony - last year, but he is from Martinique as Kat notes. This is resultant from my less than adequate knowledge of the various colonies France still has under its boot. - MansaDetails:Protest for Gaël Quirante: 12 June at 12 pm at Tribunal de ParisProtest in London outside the French embassy: Tuesday 17 June @ 5:30Protest in NYC outside the French embassy: Wednesday 18 June @ 5:30Follow @SoutienAnasseK on X for updates on Anasse Kazib's case and details for protest on 18 June in ParisFlyer for the protest in NYC for people to share, repost, retweet, downloadable here: https://iclfi.org/pubs/slus/2025-pdc-france Follow PDC Britain on X @PDCBritain and Insta @partisandefencecommitteePDC US on X @PartisanDefense and Insta @partisan_defense_committeeFollow us on X @SpartacistICL and Mansa on Insta @punjabibolshevik Links to donate:Go Fund Me for Anasse Kazib of Révolution Permanente: https://www.gofundme.com/f/solidarite-anasse-kazib Fundraising for Gaël Quirante of Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste-Révolutionnaires: https://www.helloasso.com/associations/les-ami-e-s-de-sud-poste-92/formulaires/1Background on the cases:Anasse Kazib of Révolution Permanente on his repression: https://www.leftvoice.org/our-comrade-anasse-kazib-is-being-persecuted-by-the-french-state-for-a-tweet-in-support-of-palestine/Details for Gaël Quirante's case (in French): https://x.com/GaelQuirante/status/1923276659123200205 Get in touch!sparttalk.org | Like the episode and subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us on X @SpartacistICL, YouTube @Spartacist, or follow Mansa on Insta @punjabibolshevik
