Why
This November, thousands are gathering at the Rising Tide People’s Blockade of Newcastle Port (Nov 27 – Dec 2) the world’s largest coal export hub, to take action for climate justice and Palestinian liberation.
Join our Paddle Out for Palestine: a powerful on-water action to block coal shipments headed to Israel.
Why?
•Israel relies heavily on imported coal to power its war machine.
•After Colombia cut coal exports, Australia stepped in, shipping over 130,000 tonnes in 2024 alone.
•This trade is fueling genocide and violates the ICJ ruling that countries must not aid Israel’s occupation.
Together, we can send a clear message: No coal to Israel. No complicity in genocide.
Bring your kayak, board, canoe, or just come to the foreshore in solidarity.
