Trade Unions Taking Action for Palestine in 2025

Event Date: 29th January 2025
Location: Internet 6pm

Even now, as we share with Palestinians their relief that a ceasefire has finally been called in the Gaza Strip, Israel is escalating its violence in the West Bank. Palestinians there have been coming under increased attack by armed settlers and the Israeli army, with Jenin once more under fire and besieged.

It was always clear that we now need to step up our work in solidarity with the Palestinian people, against apartheid and the illegal military occupation.

Join our webinar next week to hear about what you can do in your trade union:
