NATIONAL MARCH FOR PALESTINE IN LONDON
SATURDAY 27 APRIL
National March in London. Details to be confirmed.
 Important fundraiser for the committee at Al-Mawasi whose volunteers are working tirelessly to provide food and makeshift shelters for the local community and the many more displaced people who are now living in Al-Mawasi in Southern Gaza. Facebook fundraiser.
 Thanks to everyone who came to support and show solidarity with the #Hastings3 at the Hastings Law Courts. The steps of the courts were packed by people turning out to show their support. Our three accused entered not guilty pleas to charges of aggravated trespass, and the case was adjourned for a full day's trial on August 27.
The three had been taking part in a peaceful protest on 29 February against the US-owned arms manufacturer General Dynamics when they were arrested and charged. General - Genocide - Dynamics is responsible for all the MK80 bombs being dropped on Gaza and its Hastings sites make tactical and communication systems for ground vehicles as well as fighter jets. Facebook Report.
#HASTINGS3 LEGAL FIGHTING FUND
Sadly, it takes funds to give our friends the best chance of a fair hearing. If you want to show your support, please consider donating to our legal fighting fund. If you are unable to give, please share the fundraiser instead so that we reach more people. Legal fighting fund details.
PETITION: STOP ARMING ISRAEL
Call on the UK government to immediately stop the UK-Israel arms trade, and to publish any legal advice it has received regarding Israel breaking international law. Petition here.
