As the horrific attacks on Palestinians in Gaza intensify, the six groups organising the demonstrations are calling for two more weeks of mass action in solidarity with Palestine and against our government’s disgraceful support for Israel’s assault.
This Saturday we are calling for co-ordinated local protests organised by the movement around the country around lunchtime with a one minute silence at 1pm. In London, we are asking groups to organise protests locally and then come in to Central London for a rally in Trafalgar Square at 3pm. Graphics and links to follow.
We will then be holding a national demonstration in London on the following Saturday 11th November. We need to make this demonstration larger than the 500,000 that came out this past Saturday.
The local marches and protests are vital in themselves and they are also a means to broaden and deepen the movement and to build support for the national demonstration on 11th November.
We urge all our groups, members and supporters to push for support in your local union branches, to organise street stalls, and to put on meetings to promote the Palestinian cause and to build the actions. We also urge groups to start organising transport to the November 11th demonstration.
