🍉 As Debt for Climate, we stand in full solidarity with the Palestinian people, our comrades risking everything at sea, and those working tirelessly behind the scenes. We join calls for steady attention in the coming hours — as Global Sumud approaches the shores.

At this most critical time, Spain and Italy have shamefully withdrawn their naval vessels, leaving the flotilla without the protection it urgently needs.

‼️Despite being a humanitarian and peaceful mission, Global Sumud Flotilla has now been approached by more than 20 Israeli warships, and four naval mines have been detected near the fleet. Israel has illegally stopped 3 vessels already.

The compass of solidarity set by the flotillas Freedom and Handala — and now Global Sumud — has been echoed by many geographies, from mobilizations to the general strike in Italy on the 22nd.

REACTION: Oxfam welcomes Brazil, Spain and South Africa’s new coalition to tax the super-rich, launched today at #FFD4.

Tackling extreme inequality is vital to fund development goals.

Now other countries must follow their lead.

Brian Eno, musician, artist and member of @patmillsuk.bsky.social, joins the global call to #TaxTheSuperRich.
He warns that governments controlled by private wealth keep stacking the deck against the middle class — fuelling inequality, poverty, and distrust in democracy.
