What You Can Do!

Since August 2008 the Free Gaza Movement has successfully made several trips to Gaza, breaking through the Israeli siege and delivering human rights observers and humanitarian supplies. We intend to keep challenging the blockade until it is forever ended, and Palestine has free access to the rest of the world. There are several ways that you can help us succeed!

Media & PR Assistance

Participate in the Freegaza Art Festival http://www.anis-online.de/2/freegaza/artfestival.htm

Another way to help is to join our media/PR list and spread the word to others. This may be the most vital work for the whole project, and if you would like to be involved in it please do get in touch by contacting us at friends [at] freegaza.org. Even one person can get a great amount of information out on the web, talk-radio, or in your local papers.

You might also include a link to our website in your email signature, or download our logos and provide a link to our website. And you can help print and distribute our flyers in your locality. Our new flier announcing our flotilla is available and can be distributed to local events or sent out to your contacts.

Come Aboard

Some of you might want to join us on the flotilla this summer or other voyages that we will be planning. However, if you have the option of entering Palestine through the Israeli-controlled land or air borders, to do voluntary work there instead, we would ask you to consider going this route first. Israel's policy of denying entry to known human rights workers and international volunteers may meaen you will find it difficult to enter occupied Palestine in the future. Please see "Volunteer in Palestine" below for groups you can contact to work with.

If you have already been refused entry and you think you might have skills we need on board or in Gaza, please get in touch to enquire about places. Relevant experience and references will be vital. There may also be options for joining a future ship - let us know if you're interested by filling out our passenger application form.

Monitor our Voyages

As with anything happening in Palestine, the safety of participants in the project will depend on the eyes of the international world being on us. Please sign up to receive our email reports as we go, which you can then broadcast widely to your own contacts.
