Lancaster March for Palestine will take place at 1.00pm on Saturday 20th April. The march will start at the Market Square, and conclude with a rally in Dalton Square, part of growing global protests about the violence, hunger, and inability to meet other basic human needs in Gaza. The North Lancashire Green Party is a sponsor of the march, one of weekly events organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
Green councillor Caroline Jackson, deputy leader of Lancaster City Council, will speak at the march.
Caroline says:
"The escalation of violence in the Middle East calls for resolution to the interconnected conflicts in the region, including in Palestine, but first we need an immediate permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
“The Green Party supports a ceasefire and large scale humanitarian aid for Gaza. It also backs suspension of arms sales to Israel.
"It should concern us all that UK military involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran last weekend happened without debate in Parliament. Our leaders must find ways of reducing tension, not supplying weapons, and not by joining in the conflict."
"I am proud of Lancaster people standing up to be counted. This is not a time for silence about Gaza.”
