Happening now:

Naamodniks, other Jews, and allies are blocking the entrance to the Foreign Office (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) to demand that they fund aid not arms for Gaza.

As Jews in the UK, we demand that the government re-funds UNRWA and stops arming Israeli war crimes.

.Na'amod was out this morning in London demanding that the UK fund aid for Gaza, not arms - and the Na'amod NW branch was with them in spirit! #CeasefireNOW

Congrats champion Ruth Hart, this is so cool!!

From celebrating Palestinian voices to silencing them by cancelling this event. A very disappointing decision by HOME a venue I loved visiting whenever I’m in Manchester.

It must be spring - sunshine, rain, and infinite muddy puddles! A good Friday to get back out on the bike, prepping for Tour de Manc and #LondontoBrighton w/British Heart Foundation. kickbackcoffee got me through the mud; Samra & Cycle Sisters keep me motivated!
