NYC Picket in Support of Hunger Strikers

Start: Tuesday, January 13, 202604:30 PM

After months of being held without bail, six political prisoners in the United Kingdom have resorted to going on hunger strike to protest the British state's complicity in the Gaza genocide. Come show your solidarity with the strikers at 4:30pm at the British Consulate, alongside other organizations like NYIrish4Palestine. Solidarity with the strikers! From London to Ramallah, free all political prisoners!

The British government has a contract worth hundreds of millions of pounds with Elbit Systems, a massive Israeli arms company. Elbit provides the IOF with 80% of their weapons and equipment, and 85% of their drones. Despite continuous protests and direct actions aimed at getting the government to end their complicity, the Labour government has doubled down. They are charging dozens of political prisoners with terrorism for their alleged actions against Elbit Systems. This is unacceptable; the UK must shut down Elbit Systems, free the prisoners, and deproscribe Palestine Action.
