🚨 From Barcelona to the World: A Fleet & a Global Day of Action for Gaza 🚨
On 31 August 2025, history was made at the port of Barcelona. The Global Sumud Flotilla, the largest civilian maritime convoy ever, set sail for Gaza with around 20 ships, carrying humanitarian aid and hundreds of international activists, parliamentarians, cultural icons, human rights defenders, and voices of conscience from across the globe. Their mission: not just to break the siege, but to assert the Palestinian people’s right to survival, dignity, and freedom of movement.
And the struggle does not stop at sea. Just days later, on 6 September 2025, the Global Alliance for Palestine has called for a Global Day of Action for Gaza. From London to Lagos, Santiago to Sydney, Cairo to Cape Town, communities across continents will march, hold vigils, art installations, and moments of silence. Together they will demand:
A permanent ceasefire
An end to the blockade
Accountability for violations of international law
This alliance, founded in London this summer, already unites 65+ organisations from 25+ countries with the backing of prominent political and cultural figures. Their message is clear: silence is complicity.
The flotilla and the global day of action are two fronts of the same struggle. One sails across the Mediterranean, challenging the blockade head-on. The other mobilises millions in the streets, pressuring governments and institutions worldwide.
From Barcelona’s waters to the world’s capitals, the call is one:
Gaza must live. Justice cannot wait.
