What is the Freedom Flotilla?
If you don’t have a boat, please come anyway! We’d love your help with decorations, and there will likely be plenty of opportunities to join other boaters as a passenger or paddler.

Watch trailer: Voyage of the Handala, an independent, documentary film about an international group of peace activists and aid workers sailing from Europe to Gaza to raise awareness of the plight of the Palestinians and break the Israeli blockade of Gaza to deliver aid, health care and hope. The Handala, an old Norwegian fishing boat, was named for the political cartoon by Naji al-Ali depicting a defiant Palestinian boy.
