The National Alternative Remembrance Ceremony takes place every year in front of the memorial stone for conscientious objectors in Tavistock Square in Blomsbury. We will observe two minutes' silence and white poppy wreaths will be laid on the memorial in memory of all victims of war.
All welcome - no need to book.
With speakers including:
- Isabel Kelly will bring a message from the Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF), a joint Israeli-Palestinian organisation of over 600 families, all of whom have lost an immediate family member to the ongoing conflict. Isabel works with the UK support group to raise awareness of the PCFF.
- Pat Gaffney is vice president of Pax Christi and a member of Women in Black London. Pat will speak about Pax Christi's ongoing work with peace campaigners in Israel and Palestine, as well as the unfolding situation in the West Bank.
- Richard Kuper from Jews for Justice for Palestinians (JJP), an organisation closely involved in recent demonsrations calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. JJP campaigns for a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians, based on justice, mutual recognition and respect, as well as an end to the occupation and the blockade of Gaza.
