Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Activists Block Access to Maersk Headquarters to Protest Arms Shipments to Israel

HeadlineFeb 25, 2025

In Denmark, about 20 activists were arrested at the Maersk shipping company’s Copenhagen headquarters Monday as they protested its role in fueling Israel’s weapons supply. Among those protesting was prominent Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.

Greta Thunberg: “We’re currently outside Maersk, one of the biggest shipping companies in the world, that the last year, only the last year, has shipped thousands of tons of military equipment to Israel to arm them during their genocide in Gaza. And we are here to demand that Maersk must stop all the transportation of weapons and weapon components to Israel. They must terminate all contracts and investment that support the genocide and occupation of Palestine.”
