In Episode 15 of the CounterVortex podcast [11], Bill Weinberg reports on the 10-year commemoration of the [12]2008 Tibetan uprising [12] held by Students for a Free Tibet [13] in Astoria, Queens, New York City. A decade after the uprising was put down, struggles for land recovery [14] and language preservation [15] continue in Tibet, as well as among the Mongols [16], Uighurs [17] and other indigenous peoples of the territory that constitutes the People's Republic of China. Weinberg provides an overview of these ongoing struggles, and draws parallels to related struggles in Peru [18], Ecuador [19], Colombia [20] and elsewhere in the Americas—including the movement against the Dakota Access [21] pipeline. These parallels point to the urgent need for grassroots-to-grassroots international solidarity across superpower influence spheres.
