🌊 Who We Are — Thousand Madleens to Gaza
Thousand Madleens to Gaza is a grassroots, international movement bringing together everyday people to take direct, peaceful action against the ongoing siege of Gaza.
We are not politicians.
We are not institutions.
We are people — artists, sailors, workers, students — who refuse to stay silent.
Inspired by past civilian flotillas, our mission is to organise a new wave of boats carrying humanitarian aid and solidarity to Gaza, while challenging the blockade that continues to isolate and devastate its population.
The name “Madleen” carries the spirit of those who resist, who care, and who act — not from power, but from conscience.
Across countries, local groups are forming to:
In Australia, we are building a delegation to be part of this next wave — connecting people through events, art, music, and collective action.
This is not just about one journey.
It is about showing that ordinary people can stand together, organise, and act — beyond borders.
We believe in:
Because when governments fail, people move.
