ICAHD UK Annual Conference 2025

The conference will assess where we are in the struggle for Palestinian rights & freedom and what steps we need to take to address the urgent political moment in which we find ourselves. We will hear from people who have incredible experience and influence, recognized globally for their work on Palestine. The conference offers the opportunity to step back from our activism on the streets to gather information that will make us wiser in insuring that we are doing our best to usher in sustainable justice for the Palestinians. Jeremy Corbyn has joined our line-up so come hear what he has to say about ICAHD and the way ahead.
