Don’t ban Palestine Action – solidarity statement

We demand that the government ends all diplomatic, economic and military support for Israel, and withdraw their threat to proscribe Palestine Action. If the government goes ahead with their plans to proscribe Palestine Action, we signal our intention to make the proscription unworkable – to defy it, to encourage others to do so, and to assist people in taking actions similar to those taken by Palestine Action.

It is necessary to directly disrupt the production of weapons used in the genocide in Gaza and in the illegal occupation and apartheid conducted by the Israeli state, and to protest the companies and institutions complicit in this.

Jeremy Green’s speech on protests in Gaza and Israel at the Ceasefire Vigil

Every week the Stroud Ceasefire Now Coalition – of which CSSD is a member – holds a vigil from 6-6.15pm outside the Sub Rooms forecourt in Stroud. Speeches are made to open the silent vigil, with banners and placards displayed, followed by announcements about relevant events. Speeches are given by representatives of the different groups that made up the coalition. On Friday 28th March 2025, Jeremy Green gave a speech on protests in Gaza and Israel in the previous week.

Ceasefire NOW!

The declaration and weekly vigils are supported by us at CSSD, Stroud Against Racism, Stroud District Together With Refugees and Palestine Solidarity Campaign – Five Valleys Branch.
