When people were drowning in the Mediterranean we knew we had to act. So we went out to sea and saved more than 14,000 lives. But we were forced to stop when Italian authorities seized our ship, the Iuventa. Now we are being accused for “aiding illegal immigration”. We risk 20 years in prison.

Solidarity at sea is not a crime. Help us prove that in court and contribute to our legal costs now!
„This trial is not just about us. All across Europe, people are being prosecuted for handing out food, giving shelter, saving lives. I stand by my actions. How can solidarity be a crime?“
