Manchester Palestine, militarism and the race to war: An election special
Public meeting hosted by Greater Manchester Stop the War Coalition, Greater Manchester and District CND, Greater Manchester Friends of Palestine and Manchester Palestine Assembly.
With a general election just weeks away, the Palestine movement has already had a huge impact with many pro-Palestine independent candidates standing. Instead of pledging the end of arms sales to Israel, both the Tories and Labour are pursuing a warmonger’s agenda, pledging billions more in ‘defence’ spending.
Join to discuss the situation in Gaza, the impact of the general election, where the Palestine movement goes from here, and how solidarity with Gaza is key to defeating the militarism of the UK and US governments.
Speakers Include:
Shabbir Lakha – Stop the War Coalition National Officer
Jenny Clegg – CND International Advisory Group and National Council
Norma Turner – Greater Manchester Friends of Palestine Chair
Samira Ali – Student Activist
