Our partners in Gaza include:

Union of Agricultural Work Committees – represents Palestinian fishers and farmers and empowers their steadfastness and sovereignty, within a sustainable community-based, liberational developmental framework.

We are Not Numbers – aspiring and inspiring young Palestinian journalists telling the human stories behind the numbers in the news about the blockade.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition was formed after the 2010 Freedom Flotilla, to coordinate action between numerous local campaigns in maritime efforts to end the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza.

We respect everyone’s human rights regardless of race, gender, tribe, religion, ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, disability, sexual orientation, or language.

Our actions against the blockade are always governed by the principles of non-violence and non-violent resistance.

We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, but support no particular political party or organization.

There is extensive information about previous Freedom Flotillas here. Previous Freedom Flotilla missions have included: Ship to Gaza Greece, the European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza and Miles of Smiles.
