College Lane Forum – Palestine Day of Action

Wednesday 7 February, 12-1pm – join us

 

We’re inviting you to join us at the Palestine Day of Action event we’re holding at College Lane Forum between 12-1pm on Wednesday 7 February. The Day of Action has the official support of UCU nationally and is called by the Stop the War Coalition and CND. The key demand is an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

 

We’ll have a UHUCU stall where we’ll be handing out copies of the motion our branch passed in November (see attached) and engaging students and staff in discussion. The International Court of Justice has recently ruled that it is “plausible” that Israel is committing “acts of genocide” against Palestinians from which they must be protected.

 

We aim also to highlight the devastating impact of the war on higher education. As Times Higher Education reported on 29 January, “every single higher education institution in Gaza is believed to have either been destroyed or severely damaged since the invasion began.”

 

Please join us at College Lane Forum at 12noon on Wednesday, 7 February.

 

In solidarity
