Lobby of Parliament - national action!

Weds 23 Nov

Take part in this important national PSC lobby of Parliament from 2pm-6pm, focussing on Jerusalem.  In the past we have had some success meeting our local MPs at the heart of Westminster and persuading them of the facts about Palestine.  Follow the instructions on this link (http://www.palestinecampaign.org/Index5b.asp?m_id=1&l1_id=3&l2_id=20) to set up a meeting with your MP and coordinate with PSC centrally.  Take this opportunity to exercise your democratic rights in full, in person, at the House of Commons.

Boycott Divestment & Sanctions - national day of action!

Sat 26 Nov

This year targeting Tesco, join in with this huge national campaigning day when thousands of people from all walks of life will lobby Tesco in any way possible to disassociate itself from illegal Israeli settlement produce and work with Palestinian producers instead.  See PSC's advance information (http://bit.ly/rNGlLc) and get involved - your participation will make a difference!

Remember there are dozens of Palestine events taking place in London and nationally every week.  Check PSC's useful listings page http://www.palestinecampaign.org/Index8b.asp?m_id=1&l1_id=4&l2_id=99 and join in!
