LONDON (Dispatches) -- More than 200 civil society organizations, trade unions, student federations, human rights networks and grassroots groups are preparing coordinated actions on October 10 to mark the anniversary of what organizers describe as Israel’s genocide in Gaza and to demand an end to Israeli atrocities.
The Global Day of Action, convened by the Global Alliance for Palestine (GAFP) with support from the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) and the Global Coalition against Occupation of Palestine (SANED), is expected to bring together groups in more than 60 countries.
Organizers said the mobilization would include major demonstrations in London, Sydney, Cape Town, São Paulo, Rabat, Quito, Mexico City, Istanbul, Santiago, Reykjavik and Bangkok, alongside blockades and civil interventions targeting government and commercial sites.
Participating organizations are also preparing coordinated legislative campaigns, including constituent delegations to lawmakers, parliamentary inquiries into arms exports, emergency debates and calls for restrictions on arms, energy and trade with Israel. 
Other groups plan interventions targeting government institutions, public spaces, companies and financial institutions that organizers link to military supply chains supporting Israel’s war effort.
Organizers said cultural programs, public teach-ins, film screenings, vigils and student-led educational activities are also planned, with several actions extending across multiple days in Athens, Modena and Kuala Lumpur.
Participating organizations include the Stop the War Coalition and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in Britain, the Federation of Palestinian Entities of Latin America, the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network, Viva Palestina Malaysia, MyCare, CODEPINK, Labor for Palestine and the Palestine Solidarity Alliance in South Africa.
The campaign is built around two demands: “Defend the Land” and “End the Genocide,” addressing both Israel’s continuing offensive in Gaza and settler violence, land seizures and military raids across the occupied West Bank.
“After three years of relentless genocide and mounting regime-sponsored settler violence, the fiction of restraint and the hollow promises of international diplomacy stand completely exposed,” said Dr. Anas Altikriti, secretary-general of GAFP.
“October 10 is a decisive intervention built upon the tireless work of our global movement,” Altikriti said, adding that activists are mobilizing “across every continent under one clear mandate: to defend the land, end the genocide, halt military supply lines, and enforce universal international law.”
