Solidarity With the Sumud Flotilla!
US Labor Must Act to End Gaza Genocide Now!
Labor for Palestine National Network, October 2, 2025
The Labor for Palestine National Network condemns the October 1, 2025 Israeli assaults and mass kidnappings against the Global Sumud Flotilla, and demands the immediate release of those abducted.
This new war crime blocked essential humanitarian aid to Gaza, the site of a two-year genocide—itself an extension of the ongoing Nakba—that has already murdered some 680,000+ people, and maimed countless more, including tens of thousands of children.
As the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions-Gaza has said, US labor must “go beyond statements and speeches and create real pressure,” including “general strikes and widespread civil disobedience,” to end the ongoing bipartisan, US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Workers worldwide are called on to honor the Palestinian trade union picket line by breaking the complicity of their governments and workplaces in the settler-colonial genocide, apartheid, and occupation of Palestine. This includes refusing to produce, ship, handle, weapons for Israel, as workers in Italy and elsewhere are doing right now.
The entire Palestinian trade union movement points out: “Never again is truly now. Together, we can and must disrupt all complicity in Israel’s ‘final solution’ for the Indigenous people of Palestine. Together we can support dismantling Israeli apartheid just as South African apartheid was dismantled.”
An Injury to Palestine Is An Injury to All!
