Résumé: Algerian liberation revolution was in dire need of resources to strengthen its resilience against colonialism, which sought to suffocate it by labeling it as mere banditry and road blockades not representing the Algerian people. The revolution relied on rallying the people and garnering their support akin to their need for arms and medicine, and more. After military responses in the field like the August 20, 1955, Constantine attacks to demonstrate the unity of the army and the people, a mass response followed with the establishment of the General Union of Algerian Muslim Students (UGEMA) on July 8, 1955, and the famous strike on May 19, 1956. Subsequently, the General Union of Algerian Workers (UGTA) was founded on February 24, 1956, showcasing to the world, and especially the French, that the people stood united with their military and political leadership across all sectors (students, workers, craftsmen, farmers, women...). The establishment of these mass organizations, especially the General Union of Algerian Workers, was not merely for media attention or political agitation but a significant qualitative addition to the revolution through field activities, whether by providing recruits for the mountains as doctors and soldiers, or in the political arena by supporting intellectuals in the Algerian cause at the Liberation Front offices in international forums, or by raising funds for the liberation army. The General Union of Algerian Workers undertook all these tasks, transforming from a mere labor organization into a revolutionary entity that spared no effort in achieving Algerian independence.
