Global Day of Action – #StopSendingArms – Thursday 2 May
Mark your calendars and begin planning for the #StopSendingArms ‘Global Day of Action’ on Thursday, 2 May 2024. This day of action is for all those calling for a #CeasefireNOW to come together and show the strength and power of our collective global voice to call on political leaders to urgently end arms transfers to Israel amidst the ongoing catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel’s bombardment and siege are depriving the civilian population of the basics to survive and rendering Gaza uninhabitable.
As the crisis escalates, fueled by the proliferation of arms, it is imperative to advocate for an end to governments being complicit in these violations of international law by transferring arms to Israel. This day of action seeks to mobilize global solidarity and demand accountability from governments involved in the arms trade.
Only a sustained ceasefire can stop the further loss of civilian life and ensure sufficient aid reaches those in need. We need a global outcry - this day of action is for all those calling for a ceasefire to come together and show the strength and power of our collective global voice.
Stunts for the Global Day of Action will be taking place in key global capitals including Washington D.C., Paris, Copenhagen, Brussels, London, Madrid, Toronto, Algiers, Taipei, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Seoul, Rome, Accra, Berlin and more!
