Supporters of Palestinian rights, justice and equality have lost two incredible figures over the last few days – Bob Crow and Tony Benn. Thousands came out to line the route of Bob Crow’s funeral this week, to pay their respects. You can add your respects by contributing to the RMT’s book of condolences>
On Thursday 27th March PSC will be honouring Tony Benn – who alongside Bob Crow – was a patron of Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

We will be paying our respects by gathering in Parliament Square from 10.15am opposite St Margaret’s Church, Westminster, where the funeral service will start at 11am.
Although the funeral is invitation only, many people will want to pay their respects by lining the streets for this great figure who made such a towering contribution over decades to the movements for peace, social justice and equality.
Please join us there. #TurnOutForTony

Get involved in the campaign against G4S complicity
|
| Please support PSC and help our campaigning to end companies’ complicity with Israel’s human rights abuses. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
The momentum against G4S is building up. PSC campaigned with StopG4S and others, calling on the BBC not to award a multi-million pound security contract to G4S. And we have been successful, with the contract being awarded to another company. |

Trade union conference for Palestine
|
A Palestine Solidarity Campaign conference for delegates
from trade unions, sponsored by the TUC
Saturday 5 April 2014
at TUC Congress House, Great Russell St, London WC1B 3LS
|
|
If you are an active trade unionist and PSC member please join us to hear about the latest developments from speakers, including trade unionists, from Palestine and from the trade union and solidarity movement in Britain.
Just as for apartheid in South Africa, international solidarity can make a key contribution in the struggle for liberation. And over the last few years, we have seen a massive surge in trade union solidarity.
|
|
 |
|
This conference will discuss the next steps in the struggle for peace and justice for Palestine. Specialist strands will focus on particular areas of work – from targeting complicit firms and ending the arms trade, to building the campaign within unions at local and national level.
We have a limited number of places for PSC members who are involved in trade unions, to join with delegates from TUC-affiliated unions and trade union branches affiliated to PSC.
