Actions for Palestine
Countdown to National Demonstration on 13 January
Day of Action Saturday 6 January
Israel’s carpet bombing of Gaza continues and the threat of regional escalation is growing daily. Over 22,000 Palestinians have now been killed and 85% of the population has been displaced. In an undisguised call for ethnic cleansing far-right ministers in Israel are calling for the “resettlement” of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
This is why our demands for justice for Palestine must be louder than ever.
On 6 January we are building for the national demonstration and global day of action with regional protests up and down the country.
Help us mobilise – find your local action below – every act of solidarity counts.

Across the world the solidarity movement has mobilised millions of people on the streets to demand a permanent ceasefire and justice for Palestine. We need to intensify this pressure by coordinating actions across the globe. As part of the Global Day of Action for Palestine we want to make the national demonstration in London the biggest yet. Please book your transport now, and if there is, none start organising! Don’t forget to send us any details and we can help advertise. Email here
