ABERDEEN: LAND DAY DEMO
2026-03-28 13:30 - 15:00 | Aberdeen Beach (across from The Range), Aberdeen Beach, Aberdeen, United Kingdom
Join us to commemorate and celebrate Palestinian resistance to theft of their lands with speeches, poetry and arts and crafts.
This year marks 50 years since six Palestinians were killed protesting against occupiers’ theft of their lands in Galilee. This and every year we stand with Palestinians demanding an end to ongoing illegal land theft across historic Palestine and the accompanying destruction of homes and livelihoods.

Speaker event: Erik Helgeson, Swedish Dockworkers Union
2026-04-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Aberdeen Quaker Meeting House, 98 Crown Street, Aberdeen, AB11 6HJ, United Kingdom
Erik Helgeson, Vice-Chair of the Swedish Dockworkers’ Union
Join us for a rare opportunity to learn from a high profile International trade union activist
Dockworker and trade union activist Erik Helgeson is coming to Scotland to share lessons from the front line of international labour solidarity!
As a leading figure in the Swedish Dockworkers’ Union, Erik helped organise bold industrial action for Palestine and has became a symbol of workers standing up for their principles in the face of union-busting attacks.
He will describe how his employer seized on the action, using it as a pretext to dismiss him, the case is now proceeding through the Swedish Labour Courts.
An international fundraising campaign has enabled the union to employ Erik directly allowing him to continue to carry out his responsibilities sending a clear message to the port employers that union-busting will not pay off.
Join us for a powerful discussion on how workers can act ethically and strategically on international issues.
We will look at worker power, union democracy, and what Scottish trade unionists can learn from struggles for Palestine in workplaces across the world – and crucially how we can take action of our own.
Erik is also speaking in Glasgow and in Edinburgh at the Workers Day School for Palestine.

Stand in Solidarity with Palestinian Prisoners
2026-04-11 13:00 - 14:00 | Home Bargains Aberdeen – Beach Boulevard, Beach Boulevard Retail Park, ABERDEEN, AB11 5EJ, United Kingdom
Stand in Solidarity with Palestinian Prisoners
Join us on Saturday as we continue our campaign to pressure Home Bargains to end their support for genocide and occupation, via their ‘Made in Israel’ production line.
At the same time we will be highlighting the latest atrocities committed by Israel, including the passing of a law sanctioning the death penalty for Palestinians (and only Palestinians) resisting an occupation (their legal right under international law), recent state terrorism in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as Israel’s illegal war on Iran and massacres in Lebanon.
We stand firmly with Palestinians in their demand for boycott, divestment and sanctions of Israel.
Sign the petition to demand Home Bargains stop selling apartheid goods here.

ABERDEEN: Prisoners Day Film Screening
2026-04-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Aberdeen Quaker Meeting House, 98 Crown Street, Aberdeen, AB11 6HJ, United Kingdom
Join this public event on Friday 17th April to mark Prisoners Day calling for the freedom of 9,600 Palestinian political prisoners in addition to the unknown number of Gaza detainees held in military camps and torture centres run by the occupation. This includes 3,532 ‘administrative detainees’ held without trial or charge.
Prisoners Day has been marked annually since 1974 when prisoner Mahmoud Hijazi was released by the occupation in the first prisoner exchange between the Palestinians and ‘Israel’. It marks Palestinian resistance and the endless capacity of the Palestinians to oppose the occupation. In this vein, we will be screening the film Palestine ’36 by Ammemarie Jacir narrating Palestinian resistance to the British Occupation. We will also hear contributions and first hand reports from former Palestinian political prisoners.
As ever, Palestinian food will be served, in keeping with Palestinian tradition.

Aberdeen has a proud history of fighting racism and fascism. As far-right voices try to divide our communities, we come together to say: no to racism, no to hate!
From our streets in Aberdeen to the streets filled with rubble and blood in Gaza and across Palestine, we stand with people who have endured displacement, oppression, and injustice, yet continue to resist, organise, and demand their rights with courage and dignity!
Around the world millions have risen to challenge these injustices, marching, speaking out, and refusing to stay silent in the face of oppression. That same spirit is here, in Aberdeen.
We march for refugees escaping desperate situations.
We march for our neighbours facing racism on our streets.
We march for those suffering daily in Palestine, and in Lebanon, Syria, Congo, Sudan, and Iran.
Join the unity march this Saturday 18th April at 10:30am.
Stand with local campaigners, trade unions, faith groups, and all who believe in a city that welcomes, not excludes. Together, we are stronger united.

ABERDEEN Demo: Stop Funding Israeli Apartheid!
2026-04-25 11:00 - 13:00 | Barclays Bank ABERDEEN, 163-165 Union Street, Aberdeen, AB11 6SL, United Kingdom
Join us this Saturday outside Barclays as we call for freedom of Palestinian prisoners, currently being held in Israeli jails.
We call for the freedom for those facing administrative detention without trial, for those who may now face the death penalty for resisting an illegal occupation, and for those Palestinian children who face trial in a military court (the only children in the world to do so).
We will also remember Barclays’ long-standing commitment to apartheid, previously in South Africa and now in Palestine. For decades, Barclays has propped up the most racist and despotic regimes around the world, and is now responsible for bankrolling destruction and genocide in Gaza. Barclays was the friend of Vorster and Botha, and is now the friend of Netanyahu, Palantir and Epstein.
Say no to occupation, apartheid, and the complicity of businesses on our streets.
Free all political prisoners. Free Palestine!

The issue of Palestine is the moral issue of our times, and Palestinian flags will be flying at the scores of marches and rallies around the world.
We will march in solidarity with the journalists, healthcare workers, educators and other workers amongst the hundreds of thousands killed and maimed in Israel’s genocide.
As delegates of the Scottish Trades Union Congress again this week affirm their support for a free Palestine, we call on workers across Scotland to start taking action for Palestine within their workplaces.
The struggle for a free Palestine is a workers’ struggle!
No one of us is free until everybody is free!
Gather at Rubislaw Terrace at 11am, to march towards Union Terrace from 11:30am.

Protest: No Oil Profits for Occupation & Genocide
2026-05-13 12:00 - 14:00 | The Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh, EH99 1SP, United Kingdom
Join us at locations across Scotland to say – No Oil Profits for Occupation & Genocide
Rosebank’s co-owner, Ithaca Energy, is majority-owned by the Delek Group – who profits from illegal settlements in the West Bank and supplies fuel to the Israeli military via subsidiary Delek Israel.

Legal experts are warning that approving Rosebank could put the UK at risk of breaching international humanitarian law.
Ithaca now also wants to open Cambo, the oil field we successfully stopped in 2021.

By fuelling the Israeli military and profiting from Israel’s illegal settlements, Delek is contributing to the ongoing violence, dispossession, and genocide faced by Palestinians.

Join the coordinated protests in Aberdeen, Edinburgh to say: No Oil Profits for Occupation & Genocide*

Barclays kills. Palantir kills. We will not whitewash complicity in genocide.
