“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

The Global Sumud Flotilla is a coordinated civilian fleet sailing to Gaza in August 2025 to break the illegal siege and demand an end to genocide.

We are setting sail again. On July 13, 2025 our boat #Handala will depart from Siracusa, Italy to break Israel’s illegal blockade. This mission is for the children of Gaza.

Photo of Handala boat with Palestine flags. Quoted text: The Freedom Flotilla is setting sail again. Handala to break the blockade for the children of Gaza. Read more on next four tiles. Siracusa, Italy - On July 13, 2025, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) will launch 'Handala' - a civilian boat setting out to challenge Israel's illegal, deadly blockade of Gaza. The vessel will carry life-saving humanitarian aid and a message of solidarity from people around the world refusing to stay silent as Gaza is starved, bombed, and buried under rubble. This mission comes just weeks after Israel's illegal attack on the 'Madleen', another Freedom Flotilla boat illegally seized by Israel in international waters. Twelve unarmed civilians - including a Member of the European Parliament, a doctor, journalists, and human rights defenders - were abducted by Israeli commandos and taken against their will to Israel, where they were interrogated, abused, then deported. Their "crime"? Attempting to bring food, medicine, and solidarity to Palestinians under siege. We are not backing down. The 'Handala' launches in the shadow of ongoing mass atrocities. Since March 18, 2025 - when Israel broke the ceasefire and resumed attacks on Gaza - at least 6,572 Palestinians have been killed and over 23,000 injured, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Among them, over 700 gunned down as they waited for food at distribution points controlled by the U.S. - and Israel-backed "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" (GHF) - a death trap masquerading as an aid scheme; a structure of control and cruelty serving Israel's genocide. The 'Handala' is part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, a grassroots international network that has been sailing against the blockade since 2010. On board will be volunteer medics, lawyers, social justice activists, journalists, and community organizers. We are not governments. We are people, taking action where institutions have failed. For the children of Gaza. Named after the Palestinian cartoon figure 'Handala' - a barefoot refugee child who turned his back on injustice and vowed not to turn around until Palestine is free - this boat carries his spirit, and that of every child in Gaza who has been denied safety, dignity, and joy. In 2023 and 2024, 'Handala' sailed to ports across northern Europe and the UK, breaking through the media blockade, engaging the public, and building solidarity through press events, art installations, and political education in every port it visited.
