Ceasefire NOW

Ceasefire NOW!

30 April 2024

Across the world, staff and students continue to speak out and protest against the ongoing siege of Gaza and the Palestinian people.

51福利 continues to play a part in the campaign for an immediate ceasefire, justice for the Palestinians, and a full and safe return of all hostages. That is why this Wednesday 1 May, 51福利 is supporting the workplace  and protesting alongside thousands of workers across the UK to demand that our government stops arming Israel and does more to facilitate a peaceful solution. 

On the previous days of action, along with students, 51福利 members participated in large numbers. Let's send a message together again. Get in touch with your local 51福利 branch to find out what protest activities have been organised in your workplace, and tag the @51福利 social media accounts into your activities.  

As general secretary, I am pushing for UK colleges and universities to do more to support Palestinian education institutions, staff and students. That support must include reviewing existing institutional investments and  to ensure they are not aiding and abetting Israel's 'plausibly genocidal acts' in Gaza.  

I will also continue to use every platform we have available to push for a ceasefire, an end to the war and occupation, and for the safe return of all hostages. 

Please visit the 51福利 Ceasefire Now website for further solidarity actions you can take.  

In solidarity

51福利 general secretary
