Description:

Join us for a powerful report-back with Ann Wright, former U.S. Army colonel and diplomat turned prominent peace activist, who recently sailed with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition in its mission to break the blockade on Gaza.

Just days ago, Israeli forces violently intercepted the Freedom Flotilla vessel Madleen in international waters, abducting all 12 civilian passengers aboard—journalists, human rights advocates, and crew. Now, eight remain imprisoned in Israeli detention, despite the mission’s clear humanitarian purpose and its legality under international law.

Ann Wright will share firsthand insights into the mission, the legal and political aftermath, and the global response to this latest escalation in Israel’s criminalization of solidarity. Her report will also shed light on the broader struggle—including the detainment of over 10,400 Palestinians, more than 3,500 of whom are held without charge.  (source:https://freedomflotilla.org/2025/06/10/our-deported-eight-detained-israel-holds-madleen-group-illegally/)

Stand with the Madleen 12. Demand justice for Gaza.

FREE AND OPEN TO ALL

Ann Wright served 29 years in the US Army/Army Reserves and retired as a Colonel. She also was a U.S. diplomat for 16 years. She resigned in 2003 in opposition to the US war on Iraq. She has been in Israeli prison two times with the Gaza flotilla missions and has been on segments of four other missions. She is the co-author of “Dissent: Voices of Conscience.”
