On Labor Day weekend 2025, 4,600 people converged in Detroit for the second Peoples Conference for Palestine. Over three very full days, the multi-dimensional meaning and mandate of the banner, Gaza is the Compass, was explored by activists, scholars, artists, labor organizers and elected leaders from across North America and Palestine.

Per Krohg (Norway), Untitled (Mural for Peace), 1952.
There is only one treaty in the world that, despite its limitations, binds nations together: the United Nations Charter. Representatives of fifty nations wrote and ratified the UN Charter in 1945, with others joining in the years that followed. The charter itself only sets the terms for the behaviour of nations. It does not and cannot create a new world. It depends on individual nations to either live by the charter or die without it. (more…)
