About this Event
Join us for our launch event to raise vital funds for the relief efforts in Gaza and to amplify our collective demands for a free Palestine!
You are invited to our event at Jumbi, Peckham for a Charity Auction and Solidarity Event. It’s an opportunity for us to be together, to make connections so we can continue to organise, to listen to Palestinian and Jewish activists, creatives and thinkers, to be present in our collective grief and to raise as much money as we can. We need to continue to bear witness to the tragedies unfolding before us and not let the privilege of being able to turn away get the better of us. We must organise and we must act.
The evening will start with our auction, where you will have the opportunity to bid on some amazing and generous donations from small businesses and creates from across the UK to raise as much money as we can for the relief effort in Palestine. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated - we couldn't do this without you!
We will then be joined by activists, poets and artists to raise the voices of Palestinians and our joint calls for an immediate ceasefire, an end to occupation and the apartheid regime. We'll end the night on the dancefloor, filled with DJs and musicians who have come together to support the Palestinian liberation movement.
Along with an immediate ceasefire, we join in the demands of our Palestinian comrades to end the 15-year-long siege in Gaza, end apartheid and restoration of all Palestinian's full rights and freedoms.
L INE UP TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!

Why we’re fundraising:
So many of us are feeling hopeless in the face of the Palestinian humanitarian crisis, as we watch a genocide taking place in front of our eyes. The relentless attacks on civilians are heartbreaking and it can be hard to know what to do - but inaction is not the answer.
Israel has cut off electricity, water and food supplies from going into Gaza, and vital services such as hospitals are at breaking point. This is collective punishment and while our government fails to take serious action to help aid reach Gaza, there are organisations working on the ground who need our support. This is why we are raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians who are working on the ground in Gaza to deliver crucial medical support.
Who are we fundraising for:
Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. They are providing immediate medical aid for those in Palestine, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system.
MAP is also committed to speaking out against injustices that prevent Palestinians from fully enjoying their rights to health and dignity, and campaign to ensure the voices of Palestinians impacted by occupation, displacement and conflict are heard at the highest levels.
