When governments fail to act - we organize.

Dear Friends of Canada Boat to Gaza,

We announced in a press conference in Montreal yesterday, alongside Global Sumud Canada, that we will officially be joining the largest be joining the largest maritime mission coordinated with land convoys to Gaza in history. With over 100 boats, 1,000 healthcare professionals, and thousands of participants from over 100 countries, we are determined to break Israel’s illegal blockade, deliver urgent life-saving aid, and support reconstruction. The "ceasefire" only exists on paper - genocide continues on in the lives of everyday Palestinians. Canada is complicit, so we have no other choice but to respond.

Ehab Lotayef, a spokesperson for Canadian Boat to Gaza said in yesterday’s release:

“There are those who want the world to believe that the genocide ended and that Gaza is now recovering. This cannot be further from the truth. It is up to civil society across the world to speak and act when governments fall silent or are intimidated by US hegemony. There was not a day of "peace" in Gaza since the sham cease-fire was announced and the Israeli crimes will not be forgotten nor forgiven. We will sail to awaken the conscience of humanity. This mission is different. Not only in its unprecedented scale, but in the alternative vision we are carrying. This vision is one of Palestinian-led reconstruction.”

The future of Gaza is being envisioned through the lens of control and imposition - especially coming from Trump. That’s why we’re sailing with the intention to contribute concretely to citizen-led reconstruction for Gaza.

Help us make this vision reality here

This mission is coming at a critical moment - where the imperial empire of Israel and the US continue to recklessly pursue dominance. War is being waged on Iran. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced in Lebanon. The “ceasefire” in Gaza is only partially implemented and repeatedly violated.

In the face of the humanitarian emergency and these political dynamics, this flotilla represents both a concrete act of international solidarity and a clear political stance against war, blockade, and the erasure of peoples.

When governments fail to act, people organize.

Help be a part of that organization and support us.
