250,000 people on the streets of London today to commemorate 78 years of the Nakba, showing solidarity with Palestinians and a massive mobilisation against the the far right. We outnumbered those attending Tommy Robinson's far right demonstration in Central London which numbered in the tens of thousands.
Rather than attacking the right to peacefully protest, the British government should end its support for nuclear-armed Israel's genoicide of Palestinians and attacks on neighbouring countries with the help of Donald Trump!
We confirms that official estimates place attendance at today’s Nakba commemoration march at over 250K, as unprecedented crowds mobilised in defiance of far-right rhetoric. #nakba78 #London #stur
A massive mobilisation of unity for Palestine and against the far right today with hundreds of thousands of people joining us on the streets of London today. We are the majority!
THE AWAKENING: BEYOND THE WALL
The path from spring to summer has a beautiful way of revealing what has been gaining strength invisibly.
Roots grow underground long before anything breaks the surface. Networks form quietly beneath hard ground. By the time the first shoots appear, the real work has already been happening for months.
Something similar can be felt across Britain’s protest movements now.
💚 💛 🧡 ❤️ 🩷
At RAF Lakenheath in April, peace campaigners gathered for a week-long camp opposing the return of US nuclear weapons to British soil and the use of British bases in illegal wars.
A peace camp. A blockade. Arrests for nonviolent protest.
There were also arrests during other peaceful protests for mere written words. No obstruction, no threat, no violence: just the truth.
Those in power are building a wall of secrecy and fear between the government and the governed.
And yet something can be felt, shifting.
✊🏿 ✊🏾 ✊🏽 ✊🏼 ✊🏻
We know a liveable future has to be rooted instead in mutual aid, democratic participation, public accountability and care.
And solidarity is exactly what is growing.
WHAT CAN I DO?
