As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues, the Council of Canadians has endorsed the Madleen Declaration. Famed environmental activist Greta Thunberg was one of the passengers on the Madleen as the boat attempted to challenge the blockade of food and medicines for Palestine. The Declaration ties together crises of border violence and refugee deaths at sea, extractivism and fossil fuel dependence, militarism, Big Tech and corporate power, the genocide in Palestine, and environmental destruction in the Mediterranean – and argues urgently for a transformative social, environmental and political alternative.
