In Christchurch:

Rally for United Nations International Day for Solidarity with the Palestinian people

Saturday 5 December, 12 noon, Bridge of Remembrance, Cashel Street

The rally will feature an “apartheid wall” across the roadway to symbolise the apartheid laws which Israel applies to Palestinian Israelis. Everyone welcome.

(Note the date change for this event because of a Christmas event clash at the same venue)


Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign?

We will need some serious money to make our campaign as effective as possible. For example, we will need somewhere in the vicinity of $25,000 to bring speakers to New Zealand over the next year and organise large public meetings to help spread the message.

You can help. Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign? In other words, can you afford to make an automatic payment of $5 per month to support the Palestinian struggle? (If you can afford more that would be great!)
