Please find below the information about the next protest in Oldham – Wednesday 11th September 2024 4.30 to 5.30pm Oldham Peace Gardens OL1 1HA
Please bring banners and flags if you can. Now more than ever we need to keep the protests determined, peaceful and help us all keep our focus. We are also there for each other – the situation in Gaza and the West Bank is so distressing that we need to come together to make our voices heard.
A few things to consider:
Those of you who were there last week know that someone attended the event with the sole intent of disrupting the protest. This is similar to what has happened on other protests over this last year and occasionally at the Elbit/Ferranti protests in the past .
Oldham Peace and Justice is a Peace Group. Our focus at the moment is on Palestine.
Our approach is one of non-engagement, non- provocation and non-escalation. We are also aware of the importance of keeping everyone safe. Provocateurs that try and disrupt the protests are looking for a reaction which they will record and use against us.
We are determined to continue our campaigning in Oldham.
To this end – there will be stewards at the vigils who will keep an eye on everything and act if necessary. We will be emphasising the following at the beginning of the gathering:
Oldham Peace and Justice
- We campaign in Oldham for Peace and Justice
- We call for an end to Genocide in Palestine
- We call for a Ceasefire in Gaza Now
- We call for the UK Government to Stop Arming Israel
- We do not respond to hate
- We keep each other safe
In peace,
Oldham Peace and Justice
