Last Wednesday about 100 people greeted the 120 riders of the big ride at the Town Hall.

A long wait – their seemed to be a negative time warp as the riders made their way from Meadowhall – and then suddenly they showered in.

We are today launching an appeal to help with the costs being incurred following the July 6th protest which occurred at the Elbit drone engine factory, Shenstone, at which 19 people were arrested, including two who were part of the Sheffield group at the protest.

The big ride set off on its journey to London today. One of Sheffield’s activists is amongst them as are eight other riders from Sheffield. We will be greeting the riders as they come in to Sheffield. Full details here.

Meanwhile the big riders have issued this press release.

Five cars carried 25 people from Sheffield to protest at the Elbit factory in Shenstone near Lichfield.  The factory is an Israeli firm that makes engines for drones.  Drones killed over a thousand Palestinians in Gaza last year.

We went down to close the factory.

One year on from the brutal attacks by Israel, Gaza is still in ruins.

Sheffield PSC gathered to commemorate and stand in solidarity with Palestinians in front of the town hall steps.
