Council supports the legal challenge to Palestine Action's proscription and will write to the High Court to call for the ban to be removed immediately.

Derry City and Strabane District Council rejects the rationale provided by the British Government.

We absolutely love to see it! Irish fans at the Ireland Hungary game tonight saying Show Israel the Red Card. The FAI should listen to the fans and insist that UEFA and FIFA expel apartheid Israel for its genocidal crimes against Palestinians. #BDS #FreePalestine

Looking forward to hearing from this expert panel of speakers this evening.

Mobuoy dump is very, very toxic and a microcosm of the destruction of our environment for profit with the full connivance of the political establishment.

Emergency Rally: Gaza is Being Starved

1pm Saturday July 26,
Waterloo Place

Defend the Right to Protest Genocide

Derry is Red for Gaza.

Genocide Is Our Red line.

Red Alert to End the Genocide and stop the wilful starvation of millions by Israel backed by Trump.

All-out for Gaza.

Our office will be walking out at 1.05 today.
This is a small first step toward what must be a larger more coordinated action from the unions to take up the fight against Israel like we did with South African apartheid in the 80’s.

Millionaire University bosses want to hike student fees by £1000.

Tuition fees should be abolished.

I've signed the NUS-USI petition opposing the hike:

www.nus-usi.org

Sinn Féin and others who pledged they'd oppose student fee hikes should stick to their promises.

Israel and Thatcher are terrorists, investigation over!

Israel's terrorism, endorsed & funded by the US and backed by Britain and the EU, is happening in plain sight. The investigation has happened, they're guilty of mass starvation and the slaughter of thousands of children.

Derry Stands with Gaza.

Starmer's proposed cuts are horrendous. Put it up to the Secretary of State Hilary Benn at the NIO Office tomorrow to demand the Green Paper on slashing disability benefits is binned.

Welfare Not Warfare!!

How Amnesty and HRW's Reports Accuse Israel of Genocide in Gaza Palestine Square

In December of 2024, @amnesty.org and @hrw.org issued groundbreaking reports declaring Israel was committing acts of genocide in Gaza. Months later, their findings remain critical. ⬇️
www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657...

We held a vibrant and insistent protest at the Central Bank of Ireland today. We will not stop until it stops facilitating the sale of apartheid Israel's war bonds. We cannot continue to be complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Time to #StopFundingGenocide #GazaGenocide

People Before Profit councillor Shaun Harkin said members should support the ten percent cap as a “starting point for people to feel they’re being heard” and a way to protect residential areas.

"Council notes a recent LucidTalk poll published in the Belfast Telegraph that found that an overall 77 percent majority of respondents disagreed with an increase, with outright opposition to the MLA pay hike increasing to 83 percent from working class poll respondents.”
