Stand With Palestine

Stand With Palestine

When

11th Mar 2026    
5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Event Type

Consistency is the enemy of the occupation.

The architects of this genocide are banking on our fatigue. They are waiting for the crowds to thin, the posts to stop, and the world to move on. But South Manchester’s rhythm of resistance refuses to break.

As we enter March—a month deeply rooted in the history of Palestinian land defence—our weekly vigil at Brooks Bar is more than just a gathering. It is a vital, undeniable proof of our Sumud (steadfastness).

Look at the faces on our placards. We do not just protest; we remember. We hold space for the martyrs, and we demand an immediate end to the UK’s complicity in this erasure. If you have felt helpless watching your screen this week, bring that grief to the crossroads and turn it into collective power.

WHERE: Brooks Bar, Whalley Range
(The big crossroads: Withington Rd / Upper Chorlton Rd / Moss Lane East)
WHEN: Wednesday, 11th March 2026
TIME: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Street mobilisation must be paired with economic disruption. This week, as you join us at the crossroads, commit to escalating the pressure on high-leverage BDS targets like HSBC Bank, demanding they divest from the arms trade. Protest in the streets; boycott at the checkout.

ACTION: Let’s pack the junction.
