Members of the SoA voted for fossil fuel divestment but against a motion for a public statement recognising the ongoing genocide in Gaza & acknowledging its impact on Palestinian writers. As if one were possible without the other.

The resolution brought forward by Society of Authors members calling for a statement to be made in support of a ceasefire in Gaza, didn't pass.

That means the murder of 40,000+ Palestinians isn't enough to compel a majority vote among British writers. What a time.

Yessssss!!!!

Grad workers at UC Santa Cruz are walking off the job today in solidarity with the call from the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions. This year, International Workers' Day means international solidarity with Palestine.

Strike for Palestine this May Day!

Join an action near you ✊🏾

As the genocide reaches its 208th day, with 40,000 Palestinians having been killed, the British Government still refuses to place an embargo on arms to Israel. So British workers are enforcing an embargo through direct action in response to a call from Palestinian trade unions!
