PALANTIR OUT OF EAST SUSSEX
Tuesday 14 July 6pm-8pm. Stade Hall. Hastings, TN34 3FJ.
Palantir Technologies is a danger to our national security and should have nothing to do with our NHS. That was the conclusion of an important committee of our MPs just last month - and yet the US spytech company currently has access to all our confidential NHS patient information right here in East Sussex.
This is the same company helping Israel carry out a genocide in Gaza. And helping Trump to terrorise and deport US citizens.
IT'S TIME TO KICK PALANTIR OUT OF EAST SUSSEX!
Come to the open meeting at 6pm on Tuesday 14 July to hear more and decide our next steps: Facebook event.
PLUS: SHARE OUR NEW SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO HIGHLIGHING THE DANGER OF PALANTIR IN EAST SUSSEX: HERE.

FREE SWIMMING LESSONS FOR CHILDREN IN GAZA
This is a project we support that we really hope people can get behind. #swimwithgaza is working with and supporting this incredible project where pools are being constructed along the Gazan coast with boulders and sand bags forming mini-lagoon-like structures. So far five pools have been completed by Amjed Tantesh and his helpers. 9 more to be built. Amjed's life ambition is to teach as many children in Gaza to swim as possible.
The money is needed to pay the teachers, the support staff, meals for the children and for Amjed's helpers who are setting up and maintaining the pools.
The fundraiser page is here: Free Swimming Lessons for Children in Gaza.
The #swimwithgaza project will shortly be announcing the date of the international solidarity swim where we all leap into the sea, starting in News Zealand and finishing in west Canada. More information at its Facebook and Instagram pages.
