Barclays protest, March 2
We are sorry that today’s Barclays/genocide protest had to be called of because of concerns about the weather conditions. We hope to organise another one soon. Apologies to our supporters for any inconvenience.
Unanimous Council Vote for Ceasefire
This is from WORTHING PARENTS FOR PEACE.

FANTASTIC RESULT. WELL DONE!!
Thank you to everyone who supported the vigil today at Worthing Town Hall.
We presented our Deputation and it was passed by a unanimous vote, and met with applause inside the Council chamber.
The Deputation request called on the Council to stand with humanity and publicly lobby the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary to call for:
– An immediate, permanent ceasefire
– Unfettered access to humanitarian aid in Gaza
– Release of all hostages
– Compliance with the International Court of Justice ruling and with international humanitarian law.
A silent vigil was held outside Worthing Town Hall before the Council meeting, to remember more than 12,300 children who have been killed in Gaza so far – this is more than 1.5 times the entire primary school population of Worthing.
Children’s shoes, teddy bears and banners lined the steps of the Town Hall and over 80 local residents attended to show their support.
This is really great and increases the pressure hopefully also on Worthing MPs to act and support the Parliamentary vote tomorrow. If you can, please do email Bottomley or Loughten again before Feb 21st and let them know this happened, demonstrating the local council support for a ceasefire (from both Labour and Tories).
Urgent! Pressure your MP for ceasefire now!
PLEASE DO THIS BY WEDNESDAY 21st FEB AS THAT IS THE DAY OF THE VOTE FOR A CEASEFIRE AND WE NEED TO PUT AS MUCH PRESSURE ON OUR MPS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. IT DOESNT TAKE LONG TO DO THE RIGHT THING. DO THE RIGHT THING…THANKYOU.
