What are the tasks of activists in the Global North, when mass movements against oppression erupt in the Global South? In the 1970s and 1980s, this was posed sharply by the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. In Canada, the United States and many other countries, activists in the unions and social movements worked to build solidarity with the anti-apartheid campaign. Today, we are confronted with the same questions with regards to many struggles internationally.
