Global “Red-Green” Alliance Plans Coordinated Port Protests

01
Coordinated Port Action
A network of 106 communist, socialist and pro-Palestinian organizations is set to stage simultaneous protests at 113 ports across 22 countries on five continents. The actions, framed under the slogan “No Harbour for Genocide,” will occur on a Friday and are intended to disrupt commercial shipping hubs from Oakland, California, to Mumbai, India, and include major European ports such as Genoa, Livorno, Hamburg, and Piraeus.
02
Background and Ideological Context
The mobilization follows a broader strategy that moves protests from streets and campuses to critical infrastructure. Organizers link the port actions to the “Global Sumud Flotilla,” a series of maritime demonstrations that have previously confronted vessels supplying military installations. The campaign is presented as part of a larger ideological struggle against what participants describe as “capitalist barbarism” and Western military policies, extending beyond the Gaza conflict to opposition against U.S. and European actions in Iran, Yemen, Cuba and Venezuela.
