The International Peoples' Assembly (IPA) is an international network of socialist and labor organizations.

History

[edit]

In 2015, the Landless Workers' Movement (MST) created the Dilemmas of Humanity conference, which would later become the IPA.[1][2]

In 2019, the IPA held its first global convention in Caracas, Venezuela,[3][better source needed] where attendees agreed to "pronounce ourselves in defense of the Bolivarian Revolution and the legitimate and constitutional President, Nicolás Maduro".[4][better source needed] In 2020, IPA and other leftist organizations held a "International Week of Anti-Imperialist Struggle" that lasted from May 25 to May 30.[5] In 2023, the IPA held a "brigade" in Havana, Cuba, in opposition to the US embargo of Cuba.[6]

International People's Media Network

[edit]

IPA partners include its International People's Media Network (IPMN) and its International Collective for Political Education (ICPE), the former and later previously described as IPAs "Coordinating Committee."

IPMN is a self-described "network of independent progressive media projects from across the globe seeking to collectively redefine journalism and the media in a time of global crisis"

This media network includes People's Dispatch, Dongsheng, Brasil de Fato, BreakThrough News, Pan African TV, ARG, and Madaar.

Additional media network members include:[7][8]
