"Just days before #France’s highest court is due to hear a lawsuit over the use of #AgentOrange / #dioxin during the #VietnamWar filed by #TranToNga, a victim of the toxic chemical, against major US chemical firms, the plaintiff has received an encouraging signal as a public prosecutor attached to the case has recommended overturning a previous ruling by the Paris Court of Appeal."

Strategies & Tactics for #SocialChange
Some Lessons from the Movement in the US Against the #Vietnam War
https://world-outlook.com/2026/04/27/strategies-tactics-for-social-change/from #WorldOutlook
April 27, 2026In the past year, millions in the US have protested Washington’s attacks on democratic rights, #ICE terror, and imperialist war. Among them are many young people, alongside others who have never before taken to the streets.
These activists are testing strategies and tactics and debating how to push back #Trump’s march toward one-man rule. Many of the questions they face have been posed before, perhaps most notably during the anti- #VietnamWar movement in the #US in the 1960s and early ’70s.
As the #war escalated and opposition broadened, discussion flourished over how to build the movement. Debates often centered on the effectiveness of “#DirectAction,” or #CivilDisobedience, vs. mass marches and rallies, and on the demands promoted in these actions.

The People Make the Peace
Forty years after the Vietnam War ended, many in the United States still struggle to come to terms with this tumultuous period of U.S. history. The domestic antiwar movement, with cooperation from their Vietnamese counterparts, played a significant role in ending the War, but few have examined its impact until now. In The People Make the Peace, edited by Karín Aguilar-San Juan and Frank Joyce, nine U.S. activists discuss the parts they played in opposing the War at home and their risky travels to Vietnam in the midst of the conflict to engage in people-to-people diplomacy.
"The book shatters stereotypes of protesters and shows the activists as thoughtful, courageous and compassionate strategists whose dedication to peaceful diplomacy helped end the war earlier…" - Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK

CW: Dead man on ground - Kent State Massacre
New York's Columbia University had descended into civil war over issues related to both the Vietnam War and civil rights.
For eight days, two different protest groups — one rebelling against Columbia's plans for a segregated gym and its encroachment into Harlem, the other against Columbia's recently revealed connections to a Department of Defense-affiliated weapons think tank — battled with both student counter-protestors and the police, who eventually moved in with tear gas to put an end to this round of demonstrations.
Tragedy struck again at a domestic level in May 1970. Early that month, Kent State University students congregated to protest President Nixon’s recent expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. The protests brought thousands of people to the Ohio university campus, as well as the National Guard.
After days of demonstrations, dozens of National Guard members would open fire on demonstrators, killing four students and wounding nine.
In court, guard members said they shot out of fear for their lives. Of the four students killed that day, the closest stood 225 feet away from the guards. Two were walking to class.
In response to the Kent State shootings, students around the country participated in a nationwide campus protest. According to a National Student Association spokesman, students from more than 300 campuses boycotted classes in early May 1970.
In California, demonstrations grew so raucous that then-governor Ronald Reagan shut down the entire California university system for a week.

2024 feels like dejavu to many folks who remember the 60s/70s #AntiWar #protests in USA that was a part of the international citizens' #GlobalResistance movements.
Opposition to the #VietnamWar was not limited to the United States. Throughout the world, people demonstrated their #resistance to the war, and in some cases offered their #solidarity with the #Vietnamese.
