Trident Ploughshares in London on 4th October at the DoJ action in the witness circle

Posted: 28th September 2025

Dear All,

Kate from Presteigne has agreed to make a light banner for XR Peace and take it as part of the witness circle on 4th October for the DoJ/Lift the Ban action. If any TP folk want to set up near her then that might be nice. So do look out for each other. 

Meanwhile you might want to share this inspiring video of the South African President’s address to the UN

The Ask of Solidarity with sign-holders on Oct 4th



We are not telling anyone what to do: we respect everyone’s right to make their own choice about how to show up and show solidarity


We warmly welcome witnesses to the arrests on Oct 4th.  Please come and show your solidarity!


1. Why We’re Here

We are resisting the absurd and unlawful proscription of Palestine Action, and standing against the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. By holding banned signs, we willingly risk arrest and all that comes with it.


2. How We’re Doing It

This action is silent and contemplative. Sitting quietly with banned signs is our chosen act of courage and protection. The atmosphere of stillness holds space for care, even in the face of hostility. Join us in choosing not to aggravate or escalate police violence to protect vulnerable protestors. 


3. Shared Resistance

We invite you to bear witness and show solidarity — through your presence, your grief, your horror — standing with sign holders, with our imprisoned brothers and sisters, and with the Palestinian people. Together we carry the truth of what is happening, and together we resist.
