As the genocide in Gaza continues, the time for global solidarity and action is now. DiEM25, along with the Progressive International, proudly supports the Global March to Gaza, a historic, non-violent mobilisation of thousands of citizens from around the world who are determined to break the siege and bring urgent relief to Palestinians trapped in an open-air prison.

This initiative – which is organised by civil society, not states – is a direct response to the international community’s failure to stop the massacre in Gaza. On June 15, thousands will travel to Cairo, Egypt, with a single demand: Let Gaza Live.

Among them will be Melanie Schweizer, MERA25 candidate in Berlin for the 2025 German federal elections and long-time activist within our movement. Melanie will march alongside hundreds of others who refuse to stand by while governments remain complicit in crimes against humanity.

Not only will MERA25 leadership be joining the march, but so will a number of our members from MERA25 Greece, who will also be bravely demonstrating their support for this incredible cause.

This march is part of a wider movement to challenge not only Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza but also the global order that enables it. Our own Yanis Varoufakis, co-founder of DiEM25, has expressed his full backing for the march, calling it a vital act of grassroots internationalism and an urgent blow against imperial complicity.

“There is no moral equivalence between a butcher and his victims. There is no middle ground between children being bombed and those funding the bombers,” he wrote.

DiEM25 was founded to fight for democracy, peace, and justice across borders. Supporting this march is not only an act of solidarity with Palestinians – it’s a reaffirmation of our core principles. We stand with those who dare to break sieges, challenge power, and risk their lives to uphold our common humanity.

This June, as Melanie and other comrades head toward Gaza, we call on our members and friends across Europe and beyond to support this action however they can – by donating, amplifying, or joining on the ground.

Let’s march together for justice. Let Gaza live.
