SUMMARY:Workplace Day of Action - 2 July
DESCRIPTION:In your workplace around the country  \n\n#workplaces4palest
 ine\n\nIsrael is ramping up its genocidal onslaught in Gaza and is bombing
  Iran in an attempt to drag the region into a wider war. On Wednesday 2 
 July 2025\, answer the call of Palestinian trade unionists by taking act
 ion in your workplace to demand our government stop arming Israel.\n\nTens
  of thousands of trade unionists in Britain have joined the huge national 
 protests in London and elsewhere and have been leading an array of solidar
 ity actions. In September 2024\, TUC Congress unanimously passed a motion 
 demanding an end to all licenses for arms traded with Israel\, meeting int
 ernational law\, reaffirming the need to advance a strategy of boycott\, d
 ivestment and sanctions\, and recognising that all Palestinians are subjec
 ted to a system of oppression that is recognised internationally as aparth
 eid. Congress also voted to adopt an emergency resolution to support calls
  for UK-wide workplace actions in support of an immediate ceasefire.  \
 n\nPalestinian workers\, remaining steadfast in pursuing their struggle fo
 r freedom and justice\, have called on workers around the world to stand i
 n solidarity with them by campaigning to end the complicity of their gover
 nments\, corporations and institutions in Israel’s system of oppression.
    \n\nOn 2 July\, take action in your workplace to demand an end to 
 government and corporate complicity in Israel’s atrocities\, call for a 
 permanent ceasefire and justice for Palestine.\n\n Discuss with your col
 leagues in your branch about what kind of action is best suited to your wo
 rkplace and its circumstances. Take action in your workplace:\n\n 	 Orga
 nise a lunch-time walk-out in solidarity with Palestinians. Gather outside
  your workplace for a photo\, and share it on social media (and copy us).\
 n 	Circulate a petition calling for the divestment of pension fund holding
 s from companies complicit in Israel’s attacks\, such as arms companies 
 supplying Israel with the weapons it uses in its attacks.\n 	Organise a le
 tter writing session for your members to write to their local councillors 
 to call on them to divest LGPS funds administered by the council from comp
 anies enabling Israel’s war crimes.\n 	Support the Don’t Buy Apartheid
  campaign by asking your workplace to commit not to stock Israeli fresh pr
 oduce and Coca-Cola products. Israeli agricultural exporters and Coca-Cola
  operate in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land\, using
  looted Palestinian resources\n 	Organise a lunch-time meeting\, teach-in 
 or film screening to educate colleagues about the Palestinian struggle for
  freedom.\n\n            #workplaces4palestine FREE PALESTINE!
