TAKE ACTION

PUT PRESSURE ON MAERSK NOW

EXTERNAL TOOLKIT

Stop US penalty on Spain for Blocking Weapons to Israel!

Take action by submitting public comment to the Federal Maritime Commission, urging them to cease their investigation into Spain for blocking ships delivering military cargo to Israel

Our investigation exposed Maersk’s massive shipments to Israel, violating both international and Spanish law.  Spain took bold action, blocking these weapons ships from their ports. Now the US government is retaliating against Spain, “investigating” the government in an attempt to force them to allow these shipments. Spain has every right to enforce its ban on vessels carrying military cargo to Israel and should be commended, not penalized, for upholding international law.

Let Maersk know that you demand they cut all ties with genocide

1. SEND MAERSK AN EMAIL

2. JAM MAERSK’S PHONE LINES
