About this Event
Join us for a showing of Firefighters Under Occupation, about firefighters in Palestine (more about the film on the Fire Brigades Union website). We will be joined for a Q&A by the film's director, Welsh firefighter Ciaran Gibbons, and Jim Malone, retired firefighter, adviser for the film and Palestine support coordinator for the FBU. We will also discuss campaigning in solidarity with Palestinian firefighters over recent horrific years and in the period ahead.
The event will be raising money for Medical Aid for Palestinians.
Organised by Palestine solidarity activists in the fire and rescue service in London. More info: [email protected]
