U.S. Boat to Gaza Almost Halfway to Fundraising Goal

In only five weeks, organizers of a U.S. boat to Gaza have reached 40 percent of their ambitious $370,000 fundraising goal. The campaign got a major boost last Thursday, when more than 400 people crowded onto the Paddle Queen for a sunset cruise around Manhattan. The evening raised more than $50,000 toward the amount needed to buy, license, outfit and staff a boat that would attempt to break the illegal Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Gaza.


The U.S. boat, to be called The Audacity of Hope, would sail this fall as part of a Freedom Flotilla with ships from Europe, Canada, India, South Africa and parts of the Middle East. Endorsers include Angela Davis, CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin, United for Peace and Justice cofounder Leslie Cagan, filmmaker Henry Chalfant, actor Kathleen Chalfant, Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein, Veterans for Peace President Mike Ferner, Voices for Creative Nonviolence Co-Coordinator Kathy Kelly, Center for Constitutional Rights President Michael Ratner, Starhawk, Alice Walker, and veteran civil rights activist Dorothy Zellner.
