Dear Colleague

 

Campaigning Day of Action for Palestine - Thursday 13^th February 

National March for Palestine – Saturday 15^th February

 

RMT and the TUC are supporting the next Palestine Solidarity Campaign Workplace Day of Action for Palestine on Thursday 13th February. The ceasefire deal ended the months of killing, destruction, and forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza. We now hope that all hostages will be freed and that there is unhindered access to humanitarian aid. This ceasefire must now become permanent, alongside an end to the violence perpetrated by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank. The international community must stand up to the threats to annex, and permanently and illegally displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, made by President Trump.

 

Take Campaigning Action

 

On Thursday 13^th February please take the time to write to your MP using the Palestine Solidarity Campaign email too here: https://palestinecampaign.eaction.online/stop-trumps-ethnic-cleansing

 

The TUC also has some ideas for how you can support this day here https://www.tuc.org.uk/news/join-workplace-day-action-palestine-13-february

 

National March for Palestine – Saturday 15^th February – 12:00pm Whitehall, London

 

RMT welcomes the ceasefire but supports the call from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign for this ceasefire to be made permanent and to reject Donald Trump’s calls for ethnic cleansing of Gaza. 

 

On Saturday 15^th February Palestine Solidarity Campaign have once again called a National Demonstration in London which will begin to assemble at 12:00pm noon Meeting at Whitehall, Central London before Marching to the US Embassy. Please make every effort to attend.

Yours sincerely
