With the ongoing siege, entire communities are being killed, maimed, displaced, starving, and cut off from the world. Surfers and swimmers in Gaza have long found peace in the waves — many have lost their boards, their homes, their loved ones.

We’re raising urgent funds to send direct aid to Gazans fighting to survive. Come paddle out, swim, dance, donate, spread the word. We will have snacks and t-shirts for sale, live music, poetry, and dance. Every dollar and every voice counts.

Can’t make it or want to support from afar? You can donate via Venmo to @ surfers-in-solidarity (link in bio) we are pooling mutual aid and 100% goes to people in Gaza.

Please get in touch if you can volunteer with filming, safety, production, and all-around organizing!” said Rockaway for Palestine on Monday, August 31, 2026.

Netanyahu will be met with resistance and refusal! His presence demands mobilization. As he enters the UN to whitewash his crimes and manufacture consent for the ongoing genocide of our people, we will take to the streets to expose him and reject Zionism.

WE WILL NEVER ABANDON GAZA – Join us in the streets on SEPTEMBER 24 to stand with Palestine, reject these zionist war criminals, and demand that Israel be brought to justice.
