Nakba 78: March for Palestine — 16 May, Saturday

Palestine Solidarity Campaign — Stroud District is calling on all members and supporters to get on board the coach and head to London on the 16th of May.

We will be marching again for Palestine in London to commemorate 78 years of the ongoing Nakba.

The itinerary (to be confirmed) will be something like this:

PICK-UP POINTS (this is departure time - please arrive 15 mins earlier)

GLOS: 8:00 Go Outdoors, Car park (Please message if you are coming from Glos)

STROUD: 8:15 (Stratford Park Leisure Centre Car Park)

RETURN MEETING POINT: At 4:15 make your way to Millbank the intersection of Horseferry & Lambeth Bridge (SW1P 4PN)

It is just straight on from Whitehall. The coach will depart from Millbank between 4:30 and 4:45, the coach will stop at Reading on both legs of the journey for a short break.

It is a full day so make sure you bring some food and a drink with you. A mobile phone powerpack is also useful. We always have a collection for the driver and we ask for a contribution of around £1+ per passenger so please bring some change if you can.

Coach tickets are non-refundable, if you can't come let us know so we can pass your ticket on. Our priority is to get as many people to the march as possible. We can reserve you a seat on a future coach by arrangement.

If you can't go on the day and still want to support the coach trip, it is possible to buy a donation only ticket. This helps us to subsidise tickets for less well-off passengers and to keep the overall costs affordable.

Passengers will receive an updated notification with details of the march, coach pickup and drop-off times and group information about a week before the march.

Finally, we have heard that the Far Right are planning a counter protest so we aren’t recommending taking young family members to this one.
