On Saturday 16 May we will march in London for the annual commemoration of the Nakba – the ongoing catastrophe inflicted on the Palestinian people by Israel since 1948.
We will assemble at noon in Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London, SW7 2DB.
This year, far right thug Tommy Robinson has called on his racist supporters to mobilise on the same day. Disgracefully, the Metropolitan Police has stated its intention to give them free rein over the political heart of London.
Our march will bring together Palestinians with those who support freedom and justice from all ages and backgrounds. We need every anti-racist, anti-fascist and all people of good conscience to be with us in London on the day. We will stand together in London and show that unity and solidarity will prevail.
