PRESS RELEASE: 01 May 2024: #Refugees4Palestine join Workers’ May Day calls across the UK to #StopArmingIsreal

Today at 5.30 pm in St Peter’s Square Manchester City Centre,  RAPAR will deliver and distribute its May Day address at the Manchester Assembly for Palestine which, as part of Stop The War’s UK wide Workers May Day mobilisation, is calling for an end to arming Israel. 

RAPAR Members from around the globe have put together their statement making explicit the relationship between the colonialist forces that lie behind the exploitation and oppression in their home countries that have led to them having to flee - from Congo, Zimbabwe, Iran, Eritrea, Bangladesh, Côte d’Ivoire, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sierra Leone and Cameroon to name but a few - and the Imperialist forces directly and indirectly responsible for the current genocide being carried out in Gaza. 

Launching the hashtag #Refugees4Palestine, RAPAR stands alongside British trade unionists and community-based organisations calling for a #FreePalestine and to #StopArmingIsreal. 

Later this week it will continue to develop its profiling of the relationship between the Gazan Genocide and being a Refugee when it participates in Manchester’s Solidarity Gathering  ‘No to Rwanda’ that will take place in the same location (St Peter's Swuare) from 12 noon on Friday 3rd May.
