This week marks a critical moment in the movement for Palestinian solidarity. With the devastating violence in Gaza ongoing, it’s so important to continue to raise our voices for justice. The International Criminal Court’s recent issuance of arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant – as well as Hamas commander Mohammed Daif – highlights the growing global condemnation of Israel’s actions. Now, we need to escalate the pressure.

Friday 29th November – International Day of Solidarity

A host of actions are taking place, and people are encouraged to put a poster in their window as a show of solidarity and to help mobilise for the National Demonstration the following day. Click here to download a poster or you can use the pull out from the latest copy of the Morning Star newspaper.
Saturday 30th November – National Demo
The next National Demonstration for Palestine will be on Saturday 30th November in Central London. Join us as we march through London once again in a national demonstration for Palestine to demand: end Israel’s genocide in Gaza, hands off Lebanon, don’t attack Iran, stop arming Israel. It’s vital we continue to take to the streets in huge numbers to demand an end to British complicity in Israel’s genocide and apartheid, including through an end to all arms trade with Israel.
Date: Saturday 30th November
Time: Assemble 12pm
Location: Park Lane, London, W1K
It’s vital we keep up the pressure on those in powers – in our workplaces, in our communities and on our streets. Together, we can show that the people of Britain stand in solidarity with Palestine.
Thanks for your support!
In solidarity,
