🚨 Nakba 78: March for Palestine – United against Tommy Robinson & the far right
⏰ Saturday 16 May, 12pm
 📍 Exhibition Road, London SW7 2DB
On Saturday May 16th we need everyone who can make it to be in London for this crucial demonstration.
We will march to commemorate the Nakba – for 78 years, Palestinians have been subjected to a racist system of oppression including ethnic cleansing, settler-colonialism, apartheid and genocide.  We march to reaffirm our commitment to the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including the refugees’ right to return home.
We march against the far right in Britain who glorify Israel’s racism and brutality. Our unity and solidarity is stronger than their hatred and division.
Stand with the Palestinian people whose demand for justice is as important now as ever before.
