UN Day of solidarity with Palestine fundraiser, Nov 26th

UN International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian People is Nov 29th. How they need that now!

Join us for an evening where we come together for a fundraiser evening and to show the strength and depth of Sheffield and Rotherham solidarity for Palestine and celebrate the resilience of Palestinian people.

Prices of food in Gaza are now extremely high. The work Musheir El Farra, chair of Sheffield PSC, managed to do on the ground while he was trapped in Gaza, has enabled volunteers to access supplies and so far 1831 families have had parcels of food or blankets or clothes.

Every £400 pounds raised will feed 1000 people with rice and lentils.

Please come together in solidarity and join us on the Sunday before, Nov 26th, for this fundraiser for Gaza emergency relief: wonderful food, music, speakers and film, from 6pm.

You will also be able to hear from Musheir El-Farra about the situation on the ground in Gaza and see his film about the Gazan fishermen.

Please share this leaflet.

Sheffield demands “Ceasefire Now!”

On November 11th, at lest 10 coaches, put on by various organisations, went from Sheffield to London; meanwhile at least 1500 people marched from Ellesmere Green to the Town Hall to demand a ceasefire and an end to occupation preceded by two minutes of silence at Ellesmere Green.

Some very good speeches from people from many different communities exposing the lie of this being a hate march.

We were lucky to start the rally with some magnificent and emotional singing from different Sheffield choirs.

The children are always ours

It was magnificent to welcome back Musheir El Farra who, with his son Qasem, did such a lot of amazing work while they were trapped in Gaza

Telling how it is
