Stop the War

As the genocide in Gaza continues and Israel escalates its attacks on other countries we are asking people to organise some kind of action in their workplace or place of study on 28 November. This can range from lunchtime rallies to badge wearing or raising money for charity. Here are some ideas:

  • Make it a ‘Wear a badge or scarf for Palestine day’
  • Organise a two minute silence at work for Palestine
  • Call a walkout and a rally at lunchtime with speakers
  • Organise a stall outside work as people come in
  • Invite everyone to a Palestinian lunch or a bake sale
  • Do a collection and a petition for the movement around work
  • Get everyone to change their zoom background to the Palestinian flag

Call an organising meeting now to discuss with workmates what you think is possible in your workplace. When you have made plans, start talking to the whole of the workforce about getting involved. Put a motion to your union branch if you have one, calling for support for the day and outlining your action.

This day of action has been backed by the Trades Union Congress, and we hope it will turn out to be one of the biggest yet. The TUC’s support shows that the trade union movement nationally is swinging behind workplace action in order to force the government to stop colluding in genocide. Take part and join the call on Keir Starmer and David Lammy to end their support for Israel as it pursues its genocide in Gaza and escalates war throughout the region.

Please let us know your plans in advance and make sure that you take pictures and videos for social media on the day and send them in to office@stopwar.org.uk
