🚨 FREE CHRIS SMALLS! 🚨 Chris Smalls, labor organizer and founder of the Amazon Labor Union, on July 12 joined the Gaza Freedom Flotilla aboard the Handala, a ship of activists and organizers carrying humanitarian aid in an effort to break the siege, end the starvation, and stand with the Palestinian people. On July 26, as the Handala neared Gaza, it was violently intercepted by Israeli occupation forces who boarded the vessel, arrested participants, and have now singled out, kidnapped, and brutalized Smalls for daring to confront the inhumane blockade imposed on Gaza. We stand in full solidarity with Chris Smalls and demand his immediate release from Israel’s brutal occupation forces. Like the flotilla mission, we call for an end to the US-backed Israeli siege that has turned starvation into a weapon against the people of Gaza. We unequivocally stand with Palestine and echo the urgent call to lift the blockade, stop the genocide, and end this colonial apartheid. We stand with Chris Smalls as we fight for a liberated Palestine, free from the tyranny of occupation.
