Join us Saturday 29th to honour all Palestine martyrs and freedom fighters 

All out Saturday 29th October in Manchester St Peter’s Square at 17:00pm to honour the courageous Palestinian martyrs. 6 Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids across Palestine last night – 5 of them in Nablus. Uday Al-Tamimi, 22 years old, from Shuafat refugee camp was shot and killed by the Zionist forces during his last confrontation last week. This was after resisting the occupation at Shuafat checkpoint on Oct. 8th.

In the past 7 days, there have been 11 martyrs. Two days ago, Tamer Kilani former prisoner was assassinated by a rigged explosive device attached to his motorbike. Nablus is currently under siege, Al-Aqsa mosque is being held prisoner, and Palestinian children are being shot every other day.

Join us Saturday 29th to honour all Palestine martyrs and freedom fighters, meeting at St. Peters square!

Join The #GMPFDivest Twitterstorm

This Friday, July 15th, The Management Panel and Advisory Panel of the Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMFP) will be holding a virtual meeting.

Tweet #GMPFDivest on July 15th 2022, from 9.00 a.m. GMT, that they divest from companies that support the occupation of Palestine.

While the panel meetings will be running, we will be organising an online mobilisation to really drive home the message.

Our goal is to deliver messages to the GMPF Management Panel and Advisory Panel members so they know scheme members and council tax payers demand action.

Let’s use Twitter to make some noise for Palestine.

#ShutElbitDown #ElbitOnTrial

Support Palestine Action Activists at Stafford Crown Court “DROP THE CHARGES NOT THE BOMBS!”

Note; the court may not confirm that the trial will go ahead until the day before, but we expect that it WILL go ahead, so supporters are asked to rally from 9 a.m. on day one of the court case. The trial is due to last two days.

Emergency support needed for Palestine Action’s first crown court trial which will c run for two days. Mobilisation required both days from 9am outside Stafford Crown Court, the Combined Court Centre, Victoria Square, Stafford ST16 2QQ – cars are going from Manchester contact for lifts.

Really make an effort to come – this is the FIRST Crown Court case with a jury so numbers outside to meet the jurors are VITAL. It is clear the actions Palestine Action are taking and the movement building around them is terrifying Israel’s arms industry here. These brave activists deserve our support.
