Dear Colleague

 

National March for Palestine – Tomorrow – Saturday 3^rd February

 

RMT, alongside other trade unions have been consistent in condemning the atrocious violence and for calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and for a lasting peace in both Israel and Palestine and we have always been conscious that we will have members who may have been personally impacted by the horrific situation in the region. 

 

RMT is dismayed that violence and the bombardment and siege of Gaza continues. It is now more important than ever that we keep up the pressure with protests and campaigning happening across the UK demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

 

On Saturday 3^rd February Palestine Solidarity Campaign have once again called a National Demonstration in London which will begin to assemble at BBC, Portland Place, London, W1A 1AA, 12 noon before marching to Whitehall for a rally. 

 

Trade Union bloc

 

There will be a Trade Union Bloc on the National March for Palestine that will begin forming up from 11:30am Corner of Cavendish Square and Margaret Street W1G 0LD Please bring flags and banners.
