PGFTU-Gaza
September 1, 2025
Dear friends, trade unionists and comrades in struggle throughout North America and the world,
On behalf of the PGFTU General Federation of Palestinian Trade Unions in the Gaza Strip, we address an urgent appeal to all unions, labor, and human rights organizations in the United States and around the world: It is time to stand united against the machine of death and destruction, and to say without hesitation: No to genocide, no to massacres, no to starvation!
We call on you to mobilize all your energy, resources, efforts, and initiatives to ban Israeli weapons of mass murder, and to use all possible means to halt the ongoing holocaust to which our Palestinian people are subjected daily, and to prevent the US administration from supplying this occupation with weapons.
Our people are steadfast, holding their heads high thanks to you, your efforts, and your support for us. They will continue to struggle courageously for their land, freedom, and dignity, for a life with dignity and social justice, and to confront the heinous and criminal attempts to obliterate their rights. We appreciate every movement, every message of solidarity, and every act of resistance to injustice. We affirm that labor and trade union solidarity among peoples, especially among labor unions in America, is the most powerful weapon against the killing machine. Your voice and efforts can make a difference and galvanize the world to stand with Palestinian rights.
Our Palestinian people demand nothing but freedom and dignity, and they are resisting for a just life for all their children. We raise our voices so that their resonance reaches the entire world, and to affirm that your continued activities, presence, and pressure are a protective shield that will alleviate our pain in the face of the Zionist war machine.
Let us raise our voices, break the silence, and struggle for a world that stands with justice and humanity, not with the killing machine and occupation.
Long live the ongoing struggle! Long live international popular solidarity! Long live the free, resistant Palestinian people!
