Europe For Peace: Stop the War in Ukraine

Over the last few months calls for an immediate peace process in Ukraine have grown. As the war turns into a deadly stalemate, polls show growing unease with the war in country after country across Europe.

 

Stop the War is holding three rallies in the next few weeks putting the case against war in Ukraine and reflecting the growing anti-war sentiment around the continent.

 

We’re calling for a ceasefire and negotiations. It’s the only sane, realistic alternative to years of suffering for Ukrainians, Europeans and the world as a whole. Peace now!

 

These three events are just the beginning in a series of rallies we’re holding around the UK in the coming months. We’ll be announcing more soon so keep an eye out and make sure to get involved in promoting events in your area.

 

Emergency Protest: Hands Off Al-Aqsa – End Apartheid

This week Israeli forces have been mercilessly attacking Palestinians in the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Join us outside the Israeli Embassy in London tomorrow to demand Israel ends its brutal attacks on the Palestinians and its system of apartheid.

XR Peace: The Big One

If the world’s militaries were a single country, their combined carbon footprint would constitute the fourth largest national contribution in the world. The links between war and climate change are unequivocal.

 

That’s why we’re supporting Extinction Rebellion’s (XR) The Big One protest taking place between 21-24 April in Central London. As part of XR Peace we’ll be picketing the MOD throughout the day on Fri 21 April. Join us as we raise the alarm on climate catastrophe.
