Please join us for the National Alternative Remembrance Ceremony to remember all #victims of #war, both #civilian and #military, past and present, and commit to working for #peace.

This year's event will focus on the terrible events unfolding in #Israel and #Palestine, as well as the extraordinary work of peace campaigners on both sides and internationally. With speakers including:

  • Isabel Kelly, with 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.

  • Pat Gaffney, vice predisent 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.

  • Richard Kuper from Jews for Justice for Palestinians (JJP), an organisation closely involved in recent demonsrations calling for a #ceasefire in #Gaza.

The national ceremony takes place every year in front of the memorial stone for #ConscientiousObjectors in Tavistock Square. 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.
