Council passes landmark motion

Amazing achievement yesterday at Sheffield council meeting through the combined pressure of wonderful work by Sheffield Greens and the relentless, continued protests, letter writing etc by Sheffielders.


The council voted almost unanimously ( only one vote against?) for an immediate ceasefire and a statement that Starmer was wrong to speak about the right of Israel to withold water, food and electricity and should retract.

They also voted to call on UK govt to cease all arms sales to Israel, and to consider joining the Coalition.

The chief exec has to send the whole motion to UK government. Let’s hope that letter is published!

Saturday Nov 4th: take your pick!

Incredible amount of support for Palestinians this weekend: take your pick from Sheffield, Chesterfield and / or Rotherham this weekend. But please do show your support.

This just shows the depth of solidarity there is. Use the link to get full details of the event

Nov 1st: Protest at the City Council

CALL TO ACTION‼️

This Wednesday (from 1pm to 3pm), we are uniting to make our voices heard and pressure the Sheffield City Council to pass a motion we support on Palestine, which includes:

– Asking the Chief Executive to write to the UK government, requesting to call for an immediate ceasefire and vote for this at the UN ✍️

Cease all arms sales to Israel and end military aid for Israel (Elbit systems) 🙅‍♀️

– Join the Sheffield Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid 🤝

– Condemn as a city all rhetoric that perpetuates genocide 📢

A Green Party councillor will present this motion and vote during the rally – a pivotal moment for our cause. 🗳️❗️

Let’s come together as one powerful force, shaking the foundations of the council building with our voices from the outside. 🏛️🗣️

We need YOU to show your unwavering support for Palestine and demand change. 🫵

Together, we can make a difference! 🇵🇸✊

Weekend of protest and support

As Israel turns Gaza dark and opens a door for who knows what in Gaza, Sheffield once again shows great depth of support and solidarity.

From Friday morning at BBC Radio Sheffield to Any questions at Victoria Hall in Sheffield to the rallies in London and Sheffield.
