The Green Party of the United States has endorsed the Global Sumud Flotilla, an international grassroots effort working to break the illegal siege on Gaza and deliver aid to the Palestinian people, in solidarity with their struggle for liberation.

    The flotilla, which includes a U.S. delegation, is a direct action embodying the very values the Green Party stands for: resistance to militarism, international solidarity, and grassroots courage in the face of oppression. Delegates are risking their safety to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which has trapped over two million Palestinians in conditions described by human rights organizations as an open-air prison. The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory set up by the UN Human Rights Council in 2021 has just concluded that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
