French police arrest dozens as Block Everything campaign causes widespread disruption
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Dozens of arrests were made across France early on Wednesday as a new protest movement disrupted highway traffic, officials confirmed. Demonstrators from the "Block Everything" campaign staged widespread disruptions, prompting security forces to deploy nationwide. The movement, which gained traction on social media over the summer, has drawn parallels to the 2018 "Yellow Vest" protests. Those earlier demonstrations initially erupted over fuel price hikes but quickly broadened into a significant challenge against French President Emmanuel Macron and his economic reform agenda."
