📢 'Stop arming Israel' day of action

Where: Barclays Bank, Commercial Road, PO1 1BT
When: Saturday 16th November, 11am til 1pm

You may have read that Barclays recently disposed of its £3.4 million-worth of shares in Elbit Systems. This is welcome news, but it makes only a tiny dent in their complicity. They still have over £2 billion invested in companies arming Israel, and they provide loans and underwriting to such companies worth a further £6.1 billion.

So on this national day of action we will once more be protesting outside Barclays in Commercial Road, and calling on the bank to cease all their immoral and illegal genocide-profiteering. Please join us there from 11am.

At 11.30 we will be joined by the Portsmouth Climate Choir and activists from the Climate Justice Coalition, who are protesting against Barclays' vast investments in fossil fuels. More details of that here.

🎬 Film showing: The Teacher

Where: No.6 Cinema, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, PO1 3LJ
When: Thursday 21st November, 6.30pm
Tickets: ppsc.uk/film

British-Palestinian filmmaker Farah Nabulsi's previous works have garnered an Oscar nomination and won her a BAFTA, among many other awards.

Her latest film, The Teacher is set in Palestine not long before Israel's latest genocidal assault on Gaza, and focuses on the life of Basem, a schoolteacher, who struggles to balance his commitment to political resistance with his role as a father figure to one of his students, Adam.

Watch the trailer at https://youtu.be/_TyjxzyETyI

The film will start at 7, but please arrive by 6.30 for a film introduction, and please also stay afterwards for an informal Q&A and discussion.

The Help Palestine Community Co-operative will have a stall in the bar area selling fairly-traded Palestinian goods, including Zaytoun's delicious olive oil and Medjoul dates.

The No.6 is a really superb cinema, and this is the only planned showing of this remarkable new film in our area... so don't miss it!
