Israel’s massacre in Gaza shocked millions of people worldwide, who came out on the streets to show their anger and commitment to supporting the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice. We have seen a massive growth in support for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, with people across the country joining one of the fastest-growing solidarity movements today.

This conference will discuss not just the roots of the Palestinian struggle, but also the current political crisis, and the tasks facing the solidarity movement. Join us for a day of discussion, education and engagement.
