ASRA NOMANI: 106 far-left groups in 'red-green' alliance target global ports

Dockworkers across five continents launched coordinated strikes on October 30 to protest military cargo shipments, specifically targeting arms sent to Israel. The action involved more than 100 ports in 22 countries, including Greece, where ferry services were moored. Organizers include a coalition of communist parties, socialist activists, and Palestinian solidarity groups. While some participants demand better working conditions, the primary focus remains a boycott of weapons shipments to end war deaths and Gaza genocide. The effort is described by some as the largest coordinated port action in history.
