‘Ceasefire now: stop the genocide in Gaza’ – national demonstration

Event Date: 30th March 2024
Location: London

Stop the War Coalition 

  National Demonstration Saturday 30 March 

 
Tomorrow, on Palestine Land Day, we will once again take to the streets of London for what will be the 11th national demonstration calling for a #CeasefireNOW in Gaza.
 
As Israel becomes increasingly isolated on the world stage and opposition to its continuing genocide builds around the world, it’s more important than ever that we continue to ramp up the pressure and redouble our efforts for tomorrow’s national demonstration.
 

We are delighted that we will be joined by an incredible lineup of media and cultural figures including Palestinian journalist Mansour Shouman, actor and activist Khalid Abdalla and Enter Shikari lead singer Rou Reynolds.

 

Other performers at the rally in Trafalgar Square include actor, author and stand-up comedian Alexei Sayle, singer-songwriter Oscar Jerome and folk singer Alexi Murdoch, amongst many others.

 

We will be assembling at noon at Russell Square and marching to Trafalgar Square. Please do all you can to be there and spread the word far and wide. We must continue to protest until a permanent ceasefire becomes a reality and Palestine is free.

Finally, after months of blocking by the US with British support, the UN has passed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire organised by the non-permanent members of the Security Council.

The resolution is only for a temporary ceasefire and the US abstained. Netanyahu remains defiant but the vote underlines Israel’s growing isolation around the world and reveals growing tension between the US and Israel.

More than anything it is a product of the mass protests and popular disgust at Israel’s genocide around the world. It will take more pressure to make a ceasefire a reality and that is why we must redouble our efforts for this Saturday’s national demonstration.

Details are now out. We will be assembling at noon at Russell Square and marching to Trafalgar Sq. Please spread the word far and wide. New leaflets and posters will will be available from the Stop the War office tomorrow.
