A coalition of 106 far-left organizations, described as a "red-green" alliance, is set to launch coordinated protests at 113 ports across 22 countries and regions on five continents. The demonstrations, scheduled for Oct. 30, aim to disrupt global shipping hubs and protest against Israel, NATO, Western military policies, and the global capitalist system.
The mobilization, framed under the slogan "No Harbour for Genodide," has been meticulously organized through a common international playbook, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. The "red" in the alliance symbolizes communist and socialist movements, while "green" represents pro-Palestinian activism.
In the United States, the international action is expected to involve ILWU Local 10 members participating in protests in the San Francisco Bay Area. The campaign's online infrastructure, including the website NoHarbourForGenocide.com, which was registered in March, serves as a platform for coordinating actions intended to unfold simultaneously across the globe.
The protests represent a strategic shift, moving beyond street and campus demonstrations to target the commercial infrastructure of the global economy. This involves collaboration between communist and far-left dockworker unions and anti-Israel groups that have previously used maritime campaigns, such as the "Global Sumud Flotilla," to protest against Israel. These flotillas often involve Israeli military boarding of protest vessels and subsequent social media dissemination of detainee experiences.
Supporting the global effort is an international publicity campaign amplified by U.S.-based pro-communist nonprofits funded by tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham. Media platforms associated with Singham, such as BreakThrough News, have reported on the planned international dockworkers' strike, framing it within broader narratives of student activism and opposition to government policies.
Progressive International, a group working closely with Singham-funded organizations, has published reports and declarations supporting the dockworkers' mobilization. The group also launched a strike fund to support participants in the Oct. 30 action, connecting the port campaign to opposition against American and European policies concerning Iran, Yemen, Cuba, Venezuela, and what they describe as "imperialism's entire coercive apparatus."
Communists groups, including Italy's Rete dei Comunisti and the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), have publicly backed the strike, with KKE stating its objective is the "overthrow of capitalism and the construction of socialism-communism." Similar statements have come from European Communist Action, linking the dockworkers' actions to ongoing student protests in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Greece, and Albania.
The Palestinian labor movement has also endorsed the mobilization, with 17 Palestinian labor and professional organizations within the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel issuing a statement urging dockworkers to join actions opposing military shipments to Israel. These endorsements have been shared by communist groups globally, reinforcing the red-green alliance.
Neville Roy Singham, identified as a key financier of pro-China and pro-communist organizations, has been a subject of scrutiny regarding his funding of groups that have amplified anti-Western protests. His network includes organizations like The People's Forum and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, and his wife, Jodie Evans, is a co-founder of CodePink.
