We’ll be running two sessions over the day, the first will feature speakers from Cuba Solidarity Campaign, Justice for Colombia, Venezuela Solidarity Campaign, Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign Action Group and Action for Southern Africa giving brief updates on their work.

Our second session will be led by Palestine Solidarity Campaign and include group work on how we can support the international committee’s key campaign for the coming year: pensions divestment.

It’s a great way to get more involved in UNISON’s work – and you can use facility time to attend.

“International solidarity is not an act of charity. It is an act of solidarity between allies fighting on different terrains towards the same objective. The foremost of these objectives is to aid the development of humanity to the highest level possible” – Samora Machal
