BHPSC supporters take part in a wide range of activities
Please note that most of our public activities have of course been curtailed or suspended altogether during the Covid pandemic. We continue to do what we can, by fund-raising for important projects and activities in Palestine, and by convening regular online events featuring speakers from Palestine and around the world. You can see recordings of previous events on our YouTube channel. And of course we still welcome new members – click on ‘Get Involved’ and ‘Membership’ to find out more. We look forward to resuming our full range of activities as soon as it is safe to do so.
– Helping with our weekly stall, by talking to the public and handing out leaflets. We have our stall every Saturday afternoon from 12 till 2pm. This is usually at the Clock Tower in central Brighton, but the location sometimes changes. To confirm the location, contact us using the link at the bottom of the page.
– Writing letters to the press or phoning the BBC when events in Palestine are reported inaccurately or in a biased way. Find out more here.
– Supporting demonstrations in the town as part of our contribution to the international movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) and to raise awareness about the Palestinian struggle.
– Coming along to our public meetings, with speakers or films, and to our events celebrating Palestinian culture. More
– Taking part in marches and demonstrations in the town at times of crisis, such as the assault on Gaza in the summer of 2014.
– Travelling to Palestine to see the situation first-hand or to help with solidarity work (like helping to build a school in the Jordan Valley). Travel to Palestine Information
