New mag looks at the rise of the far-right and how aid workers have dealt with two years of carnage in Gaza

This month’s magazine has a special focus on one of the most urgent issues of our time: the rise of the far-right.

And specifically: how to stop it.

TFN isn’t pulling any punches here – and neither are the range of people in the sector we have spoken to.

One of the main things to emerge is that we have to create and/or be part of a movement that speaks to the most bewildered and lost in our communities, overcoming division and lies with transformative answers and truth.

Linked to this is the absolute urgency of creating and showing meaningful solidarity with those who are the primary victims of this far-right surge – those in our communities who have been subjected to violence, smears and intimidation, whether that’s by fascist-led mobs, online trolls, parts of the media or state actions.

While we’re here, this is a good place for another shout out for the Scotland Demands Better march and rally in Edinburgh on 25 October – a great way to start putting our intentions into practice.

You can find the full details here.

The other main piece this month is a look at how humanitarian aid workers have tried to operate in Gaza in the two years of hell that followed October 7.

Things may have moved on since the welcome announcement of a ceasefire (just as we were compiling this edition), but the suffering is endless for the bereaved, traumatised and maimed in this land of rubble.

You will find all of that and much more in this month as well as TFN's usual line up of excellent columnists and features.

And don’t forget - if you work for a member or supporter organisation, why not set up an account so you can access members only content such as the full archive, TFN app and exclusive content.
