Palestine action is a network of activists who have taken Britain by storm. In less than two years of existence, PA has taken direct action hundreds of times, forcing the closure of two of Israel’s largest weapons company’s British sites.
Join Palestine Action for a workshop cover Direct Action strategy, tactics and potential legal consequences. We will explain how we have built sustained pressure on Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest and most notorious arms manufacturer. We will provide context for the outsized role Israeli weapons play in repression worldwide, from Kashmir, to the US/Mexico Border, to Gaza. And we will tell you how YOU can take part in some of the bravest, most principled solidarity activism being done in the world today.
We all have a moral imperative to do what we can to resist the manufacture of weapons—marketed by Elbit as “field-tested” against Palestinians—of war and empire being built in our backyards. Palestine Action will tell you how you can join the fast growing movement of people in this country actively participating in that resistance.
There remain 8 sites held by Elbit Systems in the UK. We will discuss our strategies for removing them and detail some of the roles you can play in helping us finish this important work.
